ESPN Faces Liberal Boycott After Suspending Jemele Hill

ESPN suspended Hill for calling for a boycott of the Dallas Cowboys’ advertisers after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones threatened to bench any player who kneeled during the anthem. Hill’s boycott was her second violation of ESPN’s social media policies, the network said. She previously stirred controversy by calling President Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter.

The backlash against ESPN for Hill’s suspension began almost immediately among left-wing activists and celebrities, many of whom used the hashtag “#BoycottESPN” on social media.

There may be lots of liberals working at ESPN, but none of them are watching it. A boycott by liberals wouldn’t do a thing to their bottom line.

Some Blacks might boycott the suspension of the black Trump-hating female.

That was completely hypocritical on ESPN’s part. She only said what they all believe.

That culture already infects the army. Orders have become suggestions at the noncom level. If a troop says, “no, I don wanna,” the sergeant can let it go or he can write a report. After three reports re the same troop the troop will be ‘counseled’ or the sergeant will be counseled and told to not make waves. This is from Barak Hussein’s directives that are still in force.

Shush, indeed. Never interrupt the enemy when he is making a mistake.

Very glad to hear that the liberals are joining me in boycotting espn. Only my reason is different from their reason I’m sure. My reason was that they didn’t fire that evil racist when she insulted my President. So this is great. Hopefully we all together put espn and the nfl out of business.

I am reminded of some great comedians all of whom at some time in their careers had to prove that they could be serious actors. Most of them just showed that their talent was comedy and they should stick to comedy.

Fake news courtesy daily caller.

Sure there may be a few grumbling, but her offense was so egregious ESPN cannot be blamed.

[Liberty Valance]

Bow Season!

[A strike]

Hilarious and awesome !!

Boycott ESPN and NFL

Don't leftists know that (if they actually pull off a boycott) they will be helping conservatives punish Goodell and company?

That's why this is Soooo funny !!!!

[Titus-Maximus]

Absolutely right.

But liberals can’t help themselves since they believe everyone is entitled to their opinion.

In the first place, ESPN got itself into this mess. In the second place, the lunatic left has different criteria for "blame" than you do.

LOL! Disney’s only lost $20 a share so far.

[MtnClimber]

They will get it from both sides! Idiots!

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Today, or since the kneeling began?

[Political Junkie Too]

Small businesses are being sued into compliance. For profit "blue chip" corporate offices mostly haven't been affected yet lest the Dow Jones Index collapse, but the time will come when the universities can no longer produce qualified employees.

Shareholder-driven companies cannot withstand a non-conforming workforce of entitled youth who rebel against merit-based seniority-driven hierarchies of authority.

its good to hear that liberals are joining the boycott of ESPN.
Maybe we can get them to vote for trump next election to protest not getting Dacca through.

[topher]

I think Jerry Jones should sue Jemele Hill and ESPN over this.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Maybe we can get them to vote for trump next election to protest not getting Dacca through.

Boycotting the election would work too.
