Just because you feel stuck in a job doesn't mean everyone is.

She works for a company in bed with the NFL, team owners, and advertisers. She suggested that fans should boycott NFL advertisers.Hmm, dont see how this warranted a suspension. She didnt explicitly tell anyone to boycott. But cacs gonna cac
If you work for a company it's probably not a good look to speak out against their business partners interest.
I'm not saying she's wrong but working for ESPN it's not a good idea to talk like that on social media. At this point she might wanna just quit because she's likely gonna end up fired.
When I don't agree with something the company I work for does I keep those opinions to myself. It's awkward to take a check from a company and speak out against their interests. ESPN is the ones that have to explain to their business partners why one of their employees is on social media suggesting fans boycott said business partner.

Jemele's just got caught up in Twitter too much recently. She just gotta make her impact outside of Twitter, like she's probably been doing. That's actually tangible.
With regards to this: If you relying on checks from someone else, you may have the right to free speech, but you can't just say stuff that might mess with business and get away scot-free. The mere fact of implying fans to boycott the advertisers can hurt ESPN's $$$, plain and simple.
If anything, this should just be a lesson to boss up and control your own messaging without consequence.

Well thats HER fault isn't it?
The entire process of being hired means compromising who and what you are for money.
If she wants to go indie start a podcast and a youtube channel.
Why can't she just shut the fukk up on twitter? Why is she putting her co-host in jeopardy?
You can't keep going to bat for her over this shyt.
You wanna spit the real? Fine, but they're not obligated to fukk with you. AND you're hella expendable . You're a goddamn anchor on a sports channel. You're no athlete. You're the first person out of the building when shyt goes left. You should have known the workplace politics.
I'm throwing my support behind our sister...Just need to figure out the next step...She didn't say anything wrong this is what people mean when they say systematic racism because that is exactly what is on full display.
Should be calling The Ringer as we speak
It was before deflategate ever happenedOh I remember now Billy pretended he cared about Ray Rice incident because he was mad Goodell coming at the Pats.....right?
Nonetheless Jemele is pressing the issue about more important shyt
Michael Smith every time he opens his email:

fukk Bill Simmons and The Ringer anyway
Like he really needed to make a call. ESPN worships that team.

only way jemele doesn't get suspended if she had big connections and was real cool with top athletes around the sports world and if she wasn't getting on some of the players..
it's cool to dressed up like ice cube or doing coming to america skit... the minute u talk about boycotting jerry jones friends and their money, nikka u done
for example, say if magic johnson was still on there and made those comments and john skipper and the espn executives say magic u suspended... how much u want to bet Lebron, curry and the rest of the players say we boycotting espn and not doing any more interviews with that network and we don't care if u broadcast our games or not. then espn would run to magic door begging for him to come back.

70% of the NFL is black. Time to take the protest to the next level. Stay in the locker room until the game is canceled. Who's bout it?
