I suppose “Just read the damn scores and keep your opinions to yourself” didn’t make the list...

“UNWANTED CONTROVERSY” = DemocRAT crimes.

Probably more about Sam Ponder than Hill knowing ESPN...

This is the same policy the almost EVERY responsible business has for their employees. The one addendem that is necessary:

1a. Do not be a racist and make exceptions for black employees because you want to be thought of as “enlightened”. Expect the same standard for all employees regardless of race or gender.

Hill accurately called Donald Trump a racist and explained how capitalism works

First, Trump isn't a racist. Second, Hill doesn't have the slightest idea how capitalism works.

I thought they've been all for "controversy" for the last ten years. Sports is too boring. We need a bunch of SJWs to lecture our audience about white privilege and Black Lives Matter.

Now all of a sudden it's "we don't want to get embroiled in unwanted controversy". I don't get it.

No kidding!

But, it’s a sign that there is some really big trouble coming financially to ESPN. Lost jobs, restructuring...mistakes were made...

I’ll never...and I mean EVER watch ESPN, NFL, or NBA again in my life. And at one time I was a very dedicated fan. Today? I don’t give a rats...

And yet the feminazi Sarah Spain tweeted her support for the rogue ex employee who shut down our POTUS twitter, labeling him a hero.

She is such a lightweight pos, was making stuff up out of whole cloth during the lie regarding Patrick kane’s fraudulent rape accuser.

So when are they going to enforce that rule and fire half their staff?

“ESPN’s New Social Media Policy: “Don’t Embroil The Company in Unwanted Contrroversy””

I wonder what they would consider “wanted” controversy?

They don’t even have the “Or Else” option.

Lame, lame, lame.

Guess their Sarah Spain creature is exempt or must fall into the “wanted” category of political activity as her tweet today about Trump continues ESPN’s hatefest towards all things Conservative and Right.

All positive comments about the opponent are unwanted.
All negative comments about my team are unwanted.

This new policy kills all color commentary. ESPN can cut its staff budget and have only one person describing the game itself and nothing more.

ESPN is trying to sweep the “Unwanted Controversies” under the media carpet. Too late the viewers have already seen them.
