The NY Post is reporting that ESPN suspended Jemele Hill this afternoon in response to her suggestion on social media that fans boycott the advertisers for NFL games if they don't like the directives to players on certain teams to stand for the national anthem. It took less than a day for ESPN to act.
Jemele Hill is the same ESPN announcer who a few weeks ago called president Trump a "white supremacist" on social media. ESPN did nothing about that.
So there you have it. You can falsely call the president a white supremacist and ESPN doesn't care, but if you suggest boycotting advertisers, all hell breaks loose. What more needs be said about ESPN. It's less a sports network and more political all the time.
