Linda Cohn has been at ESPN for decades; starting in 1992. She almost gets fired for telling the truth but a racist hack like Jemele Hill gets a feather on the wrist.

It’s almost like they want to take down ESPN...

Why?

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

Rush Limbaugh, Schilling, Ditka = out for telling the truth (though Ditka got signed to a 2 year extension after hammerin Obama)

I am close to cutting the cord and looking for some alternatives. I already have a ROKU TV so I can find plenty of stuff to watch. I looked at the new HULU TV offering which looks great for $40 a months. My only complaint is that I would like to have an offering without the Sports Channels included. Maybe they will have a choice like that and offer it for $20. That I could go for.

You can insult half the country, but if you question the corporation Disney will go from smiling mouse to crazy s***house rat biting your face off in a second.

Linda Cohn

Jemele Hill

I think I see the reason.

“There’s clearly a double standard. If you say things the company agrees with, you don’t get punished. If you say things the company disagrees with, you do get punished. Maybe even fired.”

Yes but this is true at just about every workplace.

“I’m tired,” said yet another employee, “of pretending this company is not full of shit.”

The answer is simple then. Get a job at a company that isn’t “full of shit.” There’s a lot of hiring happening right now in the Trump Recovery.

Do not get me wrong. ESPN is SHIT - in capital letters. But the solution is what is happening - people aren’t watching ESPN...I tried to watch Monday Night Football...but the obvious attempt to find Anthem protesters (a big fail, like everything at ESPN) and the absolutely crappy beyond all imagination announcers first made turn off the sound then just turn the entire game off (the NFL itself isn’t much in the way of entertainment anyway). Turn the shit-network off and leave it off forever. That’s the answer...not trying to change human nature which is always going to have the boss being the boss.

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.

After Bob Costas’ gun control rant on Monday Night Football a few years ago, that network has been dead to me.

Okay, but most Freepers would agree with this statement: “If you criticize your own company in public media, you will probably be fired.” So, why don’t they agree in this case?

I didn’t think ESPN broadcast basketball. Isn’t that TNT?

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.

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