ESPN disavows Jemele Hill's tweets calling Donald Trump a 'white supremacist'
Trump is in fact a bigot – and although ‘qualified’ per the Constitution, Trump is indeed unfit to be president.
I'm done with Espn, I run a fantasy league through Espn for the past 6 or so years. I can't change it this season without all the other owners getting pissed with a good bit of money on the line, but next season...best believe we're making a change to yahoo. I've deleted my Espn apps, and sent them a message on why. I also said I'm done with Disney, universal studios is just as fun (I think more fun) once your kids are around 8 or older. No more paying for Disney movies in theaters, I'll wait till they come out on redbox, they aren't gonna get a lot of revenue from that. Sure I'm just one guy, but if more people join in, they'll get the message. That message being stop throwing the rational Americans under the bus by constantly catering to the few irrational but loud Americans. Stop reporting with a very clear slant against one whole side of the country. Sports is an escape for people, shits bad enough watching the news, we want to get away from the bickering. It's like going on vacation but having to take work calls half the time you're sitting on the beach. STOP IT!
It's not even so much the Jemelle quotes, though that was just icing on the cake of a decision I already made. ESPNs slant has been very very clear, and on their radio stations (since their ratings have been steadily dropping across the board) caller after caller will ring in and tell them it's because of this slant they adhere too, and they dismiss it, ignore and mock the caller, claim they're not biased, and say declining ratings are for different reasons. HEY JACKASSES, your customers are telling you where you are ******* up, and what's upsetting them, you're not listening, BC you don't think they're worth listening too. Either because you don't give weight to anything they say or how they feel, or you don't want to deal with the mess from the other side of the few SJWs with nothing better to do after their humanities class. Yet when another caller calls in, claims that the entire NFL owners are racist and are working together to keep kapernick down to make the others fall in line, they entertain that caller, and say they might be on to something. The mere fact that they actually thought an Asian man named Robert Lee, would be associated with general lee, just goes to show how their thinking works, where their bias is. WHO THINKS OF THAT. WHO THINKS THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE "SENSITIVE" to that (unless they were a little sensitive themselves). AND WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD CATER TO THE FEW MORONS, that 99% of the rest of the country would agree they're idiots. STOP CATERING.
But moving back on to jemelle, she pissed me off even before this, taking a swipe at Dez Bryant...because he's not kneeling. Mind you this was in response to a pizza shop worker that tweeted that dez just gave them a 100$ tip, but they still don't like the cowboys, and dez tweeted back with lol emojis not going back to that place, obviously jokingly. And she just had to squeeze in her agenda into that situation, WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER AGENDA. So because he's not protesting exactly the way you want him too...he's a sell out?!? An Uncle Tom!?! She should've been fired for that, she's all for protesting but only if it's what she cares about and the way she wants it to be done, damned with anything else outside of that. Very clearly she has an agenda, and she's working it in whenever she can very blatantly, and in the rudest, most disrespectful way possible to literally half of the country. Yet they fire shilling for making a comment about Muslim extremism...not muslims, but extremism. And that's their prerogative to fire him since they don't want him getting political, but they don't fire jemelle for comments 10 times as worse...Very very very clear bias. Guess what Espn doesn't care about half the country. They pay lip service to it, but their actions are LOUD AND CLEAR. It's time to boycott, until they start listening. And start by going after Mickey Mouse.
Oh and a little more ranting, how about that damn soccer announcer whose second language is English they decided was a good idea to throw into the lions den, all for the sake of diversity. They just HAD to throw him in there...along with the lady announcer, which I don't care as long as she's good at her job (I have yet to hear her) but they are clearly forcing "diversity" for the sake of diversity...to make political social statements...not to deliver good reporting on sports, which should be their primary goal, it isn't.
