In an impromptu airport interview with TMZ Sports, Jemele Hill said that she “deserved a suspension” after putting ESPN “in a bad spot” with her social media behavior, and respects ESPN’s prerogative to do “what they felt was right” in hitting her with a two-week suspension for a series of Donald Trump-related tweets:



“Me and ESPN are fine. I know it’s great conjecture to think about [whether she would leave ESPN over the suspension], but, like, we’re fine. We’re in a good place and I’m happy to be back at the network.

I want people to understand this: There was never any restrictions placed on me, about Twitter. So, I’ll be back on Twitter, and I’ll be my usual self.”

[Question about whether she was treated fairly by ESPN]

“So, here’s how this works: It doesn’t really matter what I think. It matters to people, but here’s the reality: ESPN acted what they felt was right, and, you know, I don’t have any argument or quibble with that. I would tell people, absolutely, after my Donald Trump tweets, I deserved that suspension. I deserved it. Like, absolutely. I violated the policy; I deserved that suspension.

The only thing I’ll ever apologize for is, I put ESPN in a bad spot. I’ll never take back what I said. I put them in a bad spot, that’s the truth of it. I regret the position I put them in. I regret, a lot of the people I work with, the position we put our show in. I’ll never take back what I said.”

Nah I think she means she knows from a business standpoint she does....which is true. She directly tried to make conflict with ESPN's main income source with the advertisers.

But the point is that she knows this, and was willing to do it anyway. She feels her opinion was needed to be said, and worth the suspension.
