Jemele Hill has been suspended from ESPN, the network said in a statement Monday.

The company said the anchor was suspended for two weeks after a second violation of its social media guidelines.

She would have been fired if she was:

1. White
2. Male
3. Conservative
4. All of the above.................

[Rastus]

In this industry, a suspension often quietly turns permanent. Let’s see if we hear from her again at ESPN.

(I’ll have to hear it via FR, because I’ve never actually encountered her on the air)

[Hambone 1934]

Wonder if she will keep agitating .or apologize ?????

[Cowboy Bob]

Bet she’s still getting paid!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

She tweeted that viewers should boycott Jerry Jones’ advertisers after he said he would expect his players to respect the flag, and that is why she has been suspended. ESPN does not care if she calls the president a white supremacist, but say or do anything that threatens ad revenue and the networks will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

Lord, I’m in love with “boo hoo girl”...

She’s a doll!!!!

[clintonh8r]

Bob Iger wants to be president so she is double-immunized against firing by her race and sex.

[RitaOK]

Yes!

Hill is out of control and ESPN knows it. Expect implosion.

Their political and racist hypocrisy, along with years of leading with their chin, guarantees the destruction of the fan base and their ka-ching $pigot.

Jamil Hill exemplifies all of the obvious Leftist identity of the NFL and of ESPN.

ESPN had originally planned for Mike Greeneberg and Sage Steele to start in January 2018 on a new 7 to 10 am (ET) SportsCenter modeled on The Six with Michael Smith and Jemelle Hill. Now, given Hill's issues, ESPN has pushed back the start date to circa April 2018, and at the rate things are going ESPN may just scrap the idea and have Greenberg and Mike Golic re-up for three years on Mike & Mike instead.

Sage Steele is conservative but there certainly aren’t many.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I don't watch ESPN, so I don't know if they are supportive of the NFL players exercising their freedom of speech rights at work.

I guess they can be all high concept until it starts affecting them right in the pocketbook.

[Mr. Mojo]

“Change happens when advertisers are impacted,” Hill wrote. “If you strongly reject what Jerry Jones said, the key is his advertisers.”

ESPN is now worrying about its OWN advertisers due to the uppity mouthiness of employees like Jemele. Hopefully they're taken down by the SJW media monster they created.

[Terry Mross]

Craig James ran for Senate on the Republican ticket. Lost big time and never came back to ESPN. Shows how stupid he was.

[Lent]

She could have called all white people crackers and there wouldn’t have been consequences. This time though she calls for a boycott of advertisers. The bottom line trumps everything. What a dimwit.

[Repeal 16-17]

She would have been fired if she was conservative.

ESPN would not have hired her if she was a conservative.

[airborne]

They let her go.

I think her coming back was because of the loud noises from the special interest groups (black & female).

[DoughtyOne]

Sure is.

If she had been white, she’d have had to deal with the authorities... (well, almost that bad...)

She’s never have gotten back on the air.

[Pearls Before Swine]

You can dis the flag, you can dis the country, and you can dis the whites all you want, but when you suggest boycotting advertisers, the line will be drawn!

[unlearner]

Don’t disrespect God.

[DungeonMaster]

Suspended with pay and ebt?
