ESPN Just Suspended Host Jemele Hill For Speaking Out Against Cowboys Owner’s Ultimatum To Players
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones finally had enough of the anthem protesters and told them what he would do if some of his players disrespect the anthem! If you ask me this is just too late because he and the rest of the team knelt arm-in-arm before the national anthem before a game against the Arizona Cardinals two weeks ago!
This was not accepted by the liberal mainstream media especially by Jemelle Hill!
Jemele Hill, with her strong liberal-leaning opinions and racially motivated viewpoints, is one of ESPN’s most contested and controversial figures.
Hill, who’s active on social media, takes to Twitter regularly to voices her sentiments, a move that has landed her in hot water with her network before.
Last month, Hill ignited a backlash against herself and the network when she sent out inflammatory tweets regarding Donald Trump, calling the President a white supremacist, almost landing her with a suspension.
That suspension has now landed after Hill tweeted out her thoughts following the news that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has made it mandatory that all players stand and respect the flag during the National Anthem, calling for a boycott of all Cowboys sponsors – the same sponsors who make ESPN money.

Hill took to Twitter last night to discuss Jones’ controversial statements following the team’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, making excellent points about how the pressure needs to be put on the front office and their advertisers, rather than the players themselves.

No, I think the Cowboy fans — the paying customers — need to pick up this fight. Don’t look to Dez or Dak. YOU do it. https://t.co/f9YjZFgGGt

If the rationale behind JJ’s stance is keeping the fanbase happy, make him see that he is underestimated how all of his fanbase feels https://t.co/45ZDibcWNH

Or, how about not patronizing the advertisers who support the Cowboys? You can watch and do that, right? https://t.co/duPNqxFta7

This play always work. Change happens when advertisers are impacted. If you feel strongly about JJ’s statement, boycott his advertisers. https://t.co/LFXJ9YQe74

Yes, it is not her job to be a political analyst. If it were, she would fail, because she is completed one sided.
She had already been warned prior to this. Maybe she learned that she had an employer and has not an independent,maybe not.
ESPN is right she is a REPORTER nothing and should be gone
