Jemele Hill Wants Fans To Boycott NFL Advertisers
Daily Caller ^ | 10/9/2017 | David Hookstead

Posted on 10/09/2017 10:12:09 AM PDT by RightGeek

ESPN pundit Jemele Hill wants fans to boycott the sponsors of the Dallas Cowboys following remarks from owner Jerry Jones.

Jones said Sunday that he will bench players who refuse to stand for the national anthem, and apparently that didn’t sit too well with Hill.

“Change happens when advertisers are impacted. If you feel strongly about JJ’s statement, boycott his advertisers,” she tweeted in part late Sunday night after his comments.

Not sure how happy ESPN management will be with an employee telling NFL fans to boycott NFL related sponsors, given the fact that ESPN needs the NFL to stay alive.

Given that ESPN pays to broadcast NFL games, ESPN is an NFL sponsor. She is telling people to boycott her own network.

She is cutting the throat of ESPN, ABC, and DISNEY.

Way to go, Poster Child for the radical part of the Black Panthers.

Then she will whine and claim racism when she gets fired because the people who pay her salary are broke.... because of what she said and what the players did.

Doesn’t matter.

The guy running ESPN is an old-fart SJW. He will not care. Disney/ABC will have to fire him to get change - and they won’t because they are a bunch of liberals out of Beverly Hills (i have been to one of their buildings - even the one with technical folks were fancy)

Another take on all of this; even after hundreds of years, some immigrants to this country have a problem assimilating. Kinda puts the illegals waving Mexican flags in perspective, considering they just got here.

At one point they probably were the majority, however, they also get arrogant enough to take it too far as well. It isn’t neccessarily true that getting indefinitely more polar and extreme will make you right. They got arrogant and are arguably beginning to pay. Prideal Goetz before ________ (fill in the blank).
