ESPN personality Jemele Hill announced she would be leaving the company Friday.
Hill's was an anchor for "Sportscenter," the network's signature program, before going to work with company website The Undefeated in January.
Hill's departure came after she was briefly suspended last year for messages she posted on social media, including one calling President Donald Trump a "white supremacist."
At the time, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Hill's comments were a "fireable offense."
Trump also criticized her last year, saying she was the reason the network ratings "tanked."
She announced her decision on her Twitter, mentioning that ESPN was the place where she "became the best version of herself, both personally and professionally."
You cannot just call names and expect to win.
Ta Ta....! :)
I thought this was old news weeks ago that she was out at ESPN. Supposedly they wanted to be non political but then on the same day they had another story that was political.
Forked tongue.
The protective coloration didn’t work?
Yep; a full blown racist if ever there was one. She should move to South Africa where she belongs.
She was basically sent from an anchor job on their flagship show, to working in the basement mailroom. I’m sure she thought she would return in triumph at some point, but finally figured out it was not gonna happen. She may land a spot on some other sports network, or may end up wishing she had kept her cushy but invisible job in the basement.
So, she hung up her jock. What a pity.
Oh that’s right, she had no jock and was just a jock hanger on and wana be
ESPN was good when it wasn’t owned by Disney. When it was owned by Getty and Hearst media, it was the best...now, I don’t watch it...
HERE’S HOW MUCH ESPN WILL PAY JEMELE HILL TO GO AWAY. IT’S A MIND-BOGGLING AMOUNT
