@4d 6f 6e 65 79 You read the full article?:

ESPN is terrible for this. Smdh.

Stay strong Jemele.

 

[DUCKED_OFF]

I don't see how she can come back and work for them after the suspension and put up with the bs

unless she comes back and becomes the female version of stephen a smith

but if she does leave and joins another company she will be in full black feminist mode..taking shots at black men every time she can

 

[Rekkapryde]

Sounds like a shot at @Rekkapryde.

Never defended that fukkboi article. I defended HER despite her apparent cosign of that clown article. Her stances outside of the "ain't shyt Blackman crowd" her and others do a shytty job of specifying are spot on.

I'm not misogynistic black woman beating bum nikka so

That trash Article don't apply to me

Same, im really from this shyt so I know how shyt goes, if we black we got a relation that's different than the sex of a male/female, idgaf about a super critical feminist, if that's how she gets down then cool, it's not a negative to me. All types of shyt like that is irrelevant to nikkas that know how to actually be a man in life. These nikkas on here soft as fukk to a nikka like me, I ain't tryna be special lookin or no shyt, but nikkas be bytches when it come to bytches. That's why I only kick entertainment on here, I can't rock wit some nikkas off here on everyday life shyt

That's pretty much what she's always been..

 

[Waterproof]

I haven't watched or listen to ESPN since She was suspended. And FS1 is killing me, I only watch undisputed, can't stand Jason Whitlock so I don't watch him and Cowherd show.

Fox, NBC and CBS Sports Radio is not doing it

 

[King Poetic]

i can't see myself as a black athlete why would i fukk with ESPN reporters if they fired her...

ESPN is all good with her and michael smith doing coming to america or boyz in the hood skits for their quote on quote " URBAN MARKETS FAN BASE "

i would tell my players especially black ones don't do no interviews with that network or stephen a smith..

Would any of yall smash jamele given the chance?

Report: ESPN Looking to Fire Jemele Hill in The Near Future & End SC6
Robert LittalOctober 16, 2017



The moment that ESPN sided with Trump & Jerry Jones over Jemele Hill it seemed they had made their decision on what they were going to do in the future.

The suspension of Hill maybe the nail in the coffin not just for Jemele, but the SC6 as well.

Here is the report from Sports Illustrated.

Jemele Hill’s two-week suspension is scheduled to end on Oct. 23. The likelihood is she will come to work that day in Bristol, CT. and continue to co-anchor the 6 p.m. ET edition of SportsCenter for the foreseeable future.

But I believe her tenure as a SportsCenter anchor is effectively over. I also think her time as an ESPN employee is down to months rather than years. Hill cannot feel that she has management’s unwavering support given the events of the last month—and ESPN management clearly has limits to the speech it will allow from front-facing talent on social media, and particularly those representing the SportsCenter brand.

Then there is the show itself, dubbed SC6. What Hill and co-host Michael Smith envisioned, what made their chemistry honest and unique on the ESPN2 show His and Hers and their podcasts together, is being slowly chopped away by the addition of segments you see on traditional SportsCenter shows. Multiple people told me last week that there is an effort to bring in ESPN talent as guests with opinions counter to the hosts. If I had to bet, I would bet that at this time next year the 6 p.m. ET slot is either a standard version of SportsCenter or some sort of PTI-extension. I would also bet that Hill is elsewhere.

Jemele wouldn’t be out of work long. She is one of, if not the most high-profile woman in sports media. She is beloved by almost everyone in the industry and a voice that is needed in the space.

ESPN is showing they are very much like Jerry Jones. They will used black faces to put on a front for diversity, but when push comes to shove and those faces become too loud about real black issues they will punish and silence them.

Don’t be surprised if this has a trickle down effect on some of the other black talent at ESPN. They aren’t blind they see what happened to Jemele and know it can easily happen to them if they choose to speak too strongly about any issues they believe in. That is why very few have spoke up strongly against the suspension, because they don’t want to be next, because in the immortal words of Dez Bryant…

“I got a family to feed.”

The next six months to a year will be very interesting at ESPN.

The talent is sort of handcuffed by the things they can say, but as more leave they might be more inclined to speak on how they really feel. I have spoken to many off the record and they are livid, but not much they can do especially the ones lower on the food chain.

It is also possible that ESPN will reverse course and realize how valuable of an asset Jemele Hill is and the error of their ways, but don’t count on it. Bill Simmons was a valuable asset, was let go and he wasn’t going against the President.

Either way don’tt be shocked at anything that happens going forward

I mean even prior to this I felt sc6 was in danger. People who kept acting like that was an upgrade for them were beyond wrong. If they get the axe, I hope they take his and hers to a platform that will let them do them

 

[ALonelyDad]

I think ESPN was looking for an excuse anyways to cancel their SC6 shows..white people HATE her ass. I haven't read one positive thing from any of them about her. Now they are just using their excuse to push their real motive and ESPN can also use that.I hope Michael Smith gets to keep his job or they give them back His/Her

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

That's pretty much what she's always been..

No it's not, stop it.

 

[Easy-E]

It's an opinion piece, but, I can see it.

I always thought Mike and Jemele put themselves in the fire.

I respect them consistently speaking out, but, they were really the only ones. So, if ESPN wanted to kill the noise they'd do it by getting rid of them.

I'm not gonna get on some 'Know your place' talk. Just, you can't have it both ways. ESPN and the NFL already have a slimy marriage where the NFL can cut off an entire documentary about CTE off the network if they want to.

You gotta know you can't say "fukk the sponsors" especially in the cord cutting age.

I felt it was a tweet that didn't need to go out. Now, she's gotta be ready to boycott ESPN for sticking with the NFL. It sucks.

 

[Easy-E]

That's pretty much what she's always been..

It's crazy looking at her "do your job" "do what your told" stance on Marshawn

Then fast forward to this

So, I agree

I know they got a pay upgrade, but after all this shyt they probably wish they could have a do-over and stay in their original timeslot with the His N Hers show. Seems like the scrutiny and bullshyt they get from cacs has intensified since they took over that 6pm SC timeslot.
