This is article is from Sports Illustrated.

The author is completely disrespectful to the President. Also, by extension, by endorsing Jemele Hill's tweets, he is disrespectful to Trump voters, NFL fans, NFL owners, and NFL sponsors.

The author believes that Jemele Hill will be gone before the end of the year, and that when she leaves she will receive many employment offers, as she is now a hero.

His short article does have an important bit of information on ESPN ratings: "The Six was down 20 percent compared to the same week one year ago. Pardon The Interruption, which airs right before The Six, was down 17 " . The author doesn't seem to grasp the significance of that decline in ratings, or what caused it.

Both ESPN and Sports Illustrated are beholden to the NFL to provide content, so those businesses may discuss the games and players in programs and articles, and thereby attract viewers and readers attention, and to sell the attention of the viewers and readers to advertisers.

By attacking the the President, the people who voted for the President, the NFL, patriotic NFL fans, and the NFL advertisers, they are attacking the business revenue of their employers. Their employers rely on that revenue to pay their employees salaries.

I don't think these two people (Jemele Hill of ESPN and Jimmy Traina of Sports Illustrated) have an understanding of how business works. My guess is they have so internalized Marxist theory that they are incapable of operating in a business environment. They do not seem to understand how an employer's profit benefits the employees, how an employer's loss is to the detriment of the employees. Also, they do not seem to understand the benefit and opportunities of living in the USA. They act like it is heroic to attack first patriotism, then attack the President, then attack capitalism.

Their actions are exactly the opposite of heroic.

The ironic thing is that Trump's attacks on Hill have made her a bigger hero to those who supported her from the first "white supremacist" dust up.

Okay, I'll play along... Jemelle Hill is 'hero' and presumably no longer needs her high-profile, well-paying job with ESPN. So how much do unemployed 'Heroes' make? What other skills does she have? And who will even care about her political opinions once she no longer has a Media platform to abuse?
