ESPN Suspends Jemele Hill Two Weeks for Violating Social Media Policy

Of all its selective discipline for on-air talent over the years, ESPN management has made it very clear that the subject where it offers little flexibility for employees is when management believes an employee has said something that could impact the company’s bottom line.

On Monday afternoon the network suspended commentator Jemele Hill for two weeks for a series of tweets she made Sunday night calling for an advertiser boycott of the Cowboys following Dallas owner and GM Jerry Jones saying his players will stand for the national anthem and not disrespect the flag, and if they do, the player or players will not play.

Hill said that a more powerful protest than Cowboys players Dez Bryant and Dak Prescott personally boycotting would be to stop watching and buying Cowboys merchandise.

“If you strongly reject what Jerry Jones said, the key is his advertisers,” Hill tweeted at 10:50 p.m. ET Sunday. “Don't place the burden squarely on the players." Responding to a tweet from a Twitter follower that listed some Cowboys' sponsors, Hill tweeted, "This play always work. Change happens when advertisers are impacted. If you feel strongly about JJ's statement, boycott his advertisers."

Well . . . that's kinda fucked up. I mean, after she called the president a white supremacist and ESPN didn't bat an eye how was she supposed to know that ESPN wasn't her personal social activism platform? I mean - they sort of pulled a bait and switch on her here, wouldn't you say? How you going to let Jamele use your channel as her personal SJW megaphone only to turn around and punish her for calling for a boycott?

Lots of mixed signals coming out of that useless company these days.

It is F'd up. But now she's messing with ESPN income, can't have that. I guess some kind of justice.

Now Al Sharpton is backing Jamele, and wants to protest ESPN. What a shit show.

Stephen A Smith said that Trump is winning and has won this round, players will have to do something different to voice their concerns.

This thing is going to go down as one of Trumps biggest political victories he has showed the average people in America they have a voice and they can defeat Multi Billion Dollar corporate organizations and the news media.

That and hollywood eating their own over and over. Pelosi getting shouted down by illegals. The ACLU getting shut down by BLM, calling them Nazi defenders.

Did y'all hear 15% of the ACLU are agitating/resigning over not wanting to defend free speech anymore?

The whole left has problems.
