ESPN Faces Liberal Boycott After Suspending Jemele Hill
Daily Caller ^ | 10/09/2017 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 10/09/2017 9:24:54 PM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

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.

Ahahahaha, delicious.

And over a slap on the wrist, she should have been fired, she called for boycott, that’s messing with the corporate $$$!

My advice to ESPeeN which they won’t heed, trade the wench to MSNBC and be apolitical, stick to sports.

That could hurt, seeing as only the Left can stand listening to the Social Justice Warrior swill that ESPN puts out.

Everyone else gave up in disgust a long time ago.

Yes, she should be fired and besides that....

It’s crappy commentary from ESPN’s diversity policy, get the best commentators on there, I watched Fox Sports 1, whatever the channel is called and they had A-Rod, they actually had a decent pre-baseball game show.

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

The only thing that can hurt Disney is for people to stop going to Marvel movies.

Few Leftards actually watch ESPN or care about sports. The SJWs are stirring things up but ESPN would be stooopid to be influenced by them.

Oh, wait ESPN management is totally left-liberal anyway, so they will be glad for any excuse to cower before the SJWs.

Hill looks like she is “over it” and an ill-looking clone of Oprah.

Sharpton: The master of extortion and lies. ESPN is done for when the “FAT MAN” sings!

This is gonna be fun to watch!

HA! As if liberal fagtards watch ESPN in the first place. I know, I’m gonna boycott gay nightclubs and tranny hookers in retaliation.

ROFL.

Yeah, Leftards do continually say and do the most ridiculous stuff. Maybe Al Sharpton should boycott the American Assn. of Theoretical Physics to protest that they do not have enough physicists “of color”....

Can’t resist—this reminds me of one of my favorite books:

Think of ESPN’s mass suicide as “social change in action”. :-)

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

There is a solution to that problem...thinking about writing about it post-retirement (after I leave the organization with the not-so-merit based seniority-driven hierarchy of authority). :-)

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

If the ultimate goal on the Left is to destroy the NFL and professional football, then this move at this time makes perfect sense. Some Freepers have maintained that killing football is the Left's ultimate goal.

ESPN is learning a lesson that they should have learned long ago: No matter how far you go to appeal to the left, they will always demand that you go further.

Once you go down that road, the demands never stop. ESPN should have stuck to sports . Too late.
