This is beyond stupid, and ESPN deserves all the pain it's feeling. Don't leftists know that (if they actually pull off a boycott) they will be helping conservatives punish Goodell and company?

I’m so loving this.
It serves them right for politicizing sports which was our one last refuge from the relentless politicization of American life.
These morons are going to end up alienating viewers from the across the entire political spectrum.

How rich, how incredibly rich. A no win win situation for the leftist bastards. Who would have thought they would paint themselves into a corner? Keep digging boneheads, this is a lot of fun to watch—even without a TV!!!

Maybe they should have stuck to sports. Yep, they are reaping what they have been sowing. Soon the hurt will come down to the players, then they can all run for office, or do late night talk shows, or whatever. They sure are spanking ole Trump. /s

A Leftist boycott? Amusing. The Left is all sound and fury but few people will actually do what they want.

These protests won't end until everyone in charge of anything is stripped of their authority.
This SJW movement is about throwing off ALL rules of order. Owners will be impotent towards their players; coaches will be ignored; corporate bosses will be boycotted; dissenters will be doxxed and threatened with loss of their livelihoods; police will be targeted; politicians will be controlled by their new special interests; voters will be attacked at their rallies.

Maybe they should have stuck to sports.No kidding. But why make sense when you can be stuck on stupid? MTV, The Weather Channel, ESPN
they all gave up what they do that folks liked to be something "more." And "more political" and thus alienating is all they have to show for it.

This is rich, ESPN and the National Felon League chose to side with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now EATING THEM ALIVE!
ESPN and the nfl have awoken to the reality that their network along with the entire nfl league, has an incurable case of SELF INDUCED FINANCIAL EBOLA and are hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a week with no way out and no end in sight.
The once financially lucrative ESPN and nfl are circling the toilet bowl and are quickly becoming totally irrelevant and utterly worthless.
On the other hand, we choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the racist, socialist, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of ESPN and the National Felon League.

ESPN Faces Liberal Boycott After Suspending Jemele Hill
ESPN had a huge, profitable niche pretty much all to itself - sports coverage. Neutral, appeals to everyone, no realistic competition anywhere in sight.
That's what got them acquired by ABC and Disney. You'd think they'd have happily exploited that niche and continued making millions. But nooooo. They just had to dive into left-wing social and political issues, alienating and driving away most of their audience to chase the elusive sliver of left-wing ideologues who also happen to enjoy sports.
And now they're discovering that the left-wing demands ideological purity - even if that means sanctioning attacks on the advertisers that keep ESPN in business. I can only laugh - the idiots who managed to drive ESPN into these straits should all have their MBAs shoved up their collective butt.
>> Liberal Boycott

Oh yes, because so many liberals are die hard sports fans.
So because of their multi year liberal swing, from awarding Michael Sam and Caitlyn Jenner courage awards, firing conservatives, and supporting sports protests, they have lost millions of subscribers. And now this?

I think when cable sports got turned on...in the beginning, there was little competition. Today, with various options...the ESPN crowd has to fill up ‘talk-space’ and hype people up on something besides sports. Probably a third of the people watching prime-time ESPN shows...are watching to see what people like Jemele Hill is going to outrageously say next. Kinda like going to a wrestling event to watch fake action.
I would agree with you that a sports channel ought to be pure 100-percent sports. I would also imagine that the network worded this suspension in a way that it’s her one and only warning...when she does this again in three or four months...they will just let her go.
