ESPN Suspended Linda Cohn, Let Jemele Hill Slide
Outkick the Coverage ^ | September 13, 2017 | Clay Travis

Posted on 09/13/2017 9:57:47 AM PDT by C19fan

Last night Outkick broke the news that Linda Cohn, one of the most respected women to ever work at ESPN and the person who has hosted more SportsCenters over the past 25 years than any other current employee, was called and told by ESPN president John Skipper not to come to work after she went on the radio in New York City and said as follows:

“They definitely overpaid for many of these products, whether it’s the NBA or starting up networks like the Pac-12 Network and SEC Network,” she said on WABC’s “Bernie and Sid Show.” “It’s well documented … They [also] did not see that they would lose all these subscribers [to competitors like Netflix.]

Been without cable for years, don't mi$$ it one bit, lib indoctrination garbage for the most part, didn't like contributing to the delinquency of a country... so it's a win-win in my book. Only problem is providers like Charter are making up for the loss in revenue by what they charge now for internet. When you live in a rural area, not a lot of competition to keep rates reasonable, but what's the alternative, using cell/data?

(...or living close to free wifi/McDonald's/other? : )

I agree. Cut the cord first, then wait a while. Chances are you will realize you can go with much less than if you have everything replaced before you cut.

While what she said was true, you never disagree with family in front of outsiders. She aired ESPN’s dirty laundry in public, it’s a sign of respect they just suspended her.

Michael Corleone: Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.

Sounds about right. :-)

Excellent reply. Don’t move to any bundled packages from VUE or Sling. ESPN gets their subscriber fee regardless if you never watch.

ESPN turned into EBLM. It wasn’t the sportscasters that turned the network into a racial cesspool. It was the owners.

“I only watch FOX news.”

You’ll get over the loss of Fox and FBN real fast. Anything you see on TV, you’ll be able to see online be it video clips or reading material. You can get the live streams of the channels using “dubious methods” ... but that’s also illegal (not really worth it anyway ... I haven’t watched live news in years now outside of CBS on election night ... and that was mainly due to Nora O’Donnell being the hottest of the celebritard propaganda spewers on over-the-air TV “news”). I probably read FR that night more than I watched TV.

Jemele Hill is also the same talentless hack who criticized Roy Firestone for being chummy in an interview he did with OJ two years before Simpson murdered Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. Apparently Hill believes Firestone should have known the future.

“Too bad I can’t boycott them... I’ve never watched them... ever.. My lack of interest has now turned to distaste.”

I really have never watched ESPN either. I wish more conservatives would realize the connection between sports television and Liberalism.

I always think more of Vito scolding Sonny after the meeting with Sollozzo. Which of course your scene was a callback to. But yeah. Everything you need to know about being a man can be learned from Godfather.

Cohn is one of my favorite ESPN anchors. ESPN sucks!
