Who is saying that? Schilling, Bill Simmons, HWjr and Linda Cohn were suspended or fired for saying something ESPN denounced. Hill said something they also came out and denounced, but she got a stern talking to, and nothing else. She happens to be black. I don't care what color she is, ESPN is wrong
I agree and in protest of this I refuse to go to Disneyworld this year. That will show ESPN's corporate masters that we mean business!
Putting bad sports on a spanish named channel is racist, I will only watch it if they change the name to Honko or Trumpo.
I put a black guy in the lead in a negotiation of a joint Project with the UK once too. Yes I did it because he brought one of the strong characteristics many black people have. We were in the bar of this ancient thatched rood hotel in Winchester when he asked me, MarAzul, why did you bring me on this trip? I sipped my scotch, futzed around abit when, he came with, You wanted me to make um dance didn't you? We were successful. My lead white guy was a smart designer, but damn! I will leave it there... The two were a complementary team.
Fair enough. When comparing what she said to HWJr and Simmons yeah. But Curt Schilling has ALWAYS been a peice of shit racist who has espoused his views pretty vocally. Please don't bring him up in comparison. It's really apples to asparagus.
I disagree. Schilling espoused a viewpoint that is pretty mainstream albeit not PC, just like "Trump is a white supremacist" is fairly mainstream and not PC.
That viewpoint is not mainstream at all. WTF are you talking about? It might be mainstream in YOUR circles but not the country as a whole. How many companies pulled out of NC because of that "law"?? Learn America then post....
Espousing basic biology is pretty mainstream. I'd say a very large swath of the country would agree with Schilling there....
Anyone who says there is no such thing as white privilege: Imagine, during the 2008 Presidential campaign, Barack Obama at a debate bragging about the size of his penis, being caught on tape claiming a right to sexually assault women, boasting about walking through dressing rooms where underage beauty pageant contestants were undressed. Would any black man who did that come close to being elected President? Fact is, Obama had to be damn near perfect. Handsome, intelligent, athletic, perfect manners, Harvard pedigree, self-controlled, articulate and still "cool". The opposite of the current occupant of the White House.
Boom. Did it a second time and got suspended 2 weeks. Of course it's only because what she said might have an effect on ESPN's bottom line, by telling people to boycott the NFL. So it's ok to commit defimation of character, as long as it doesn't cost ESPN money
The one thing that needs to happen is Trump needs to stop targetting citizens on twitter. She should have been suspended for her initial comments because others have been for their comments. She wasn't, but was this time for something basically unrelated. Trump needs to let it go
So she comes out and says she deserved her suspention for her Trump comments. HEY Jamele, you weren't suspended for those comments. You were suspended for your NFL comments because it nay hurt the network
