dpberr Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 This network is a spilled printer toner disaster. I like her but this will embolden her to screw up so bad she'll get herself and a whole bunch of other people fired. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/09/14/espn-denies-trying-to-bench-jemele-hill-for-calling-trump-white-supremacist.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Can you imagine the twitter firestorm if they got two white dudes to fill in? so to avoid inferred racism they have to be racist? seems counterproductive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 So ESPN stands by somebody critical of Trump but fired Hank Williams for criticising Obama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 So ESPN stands by somebody critical of Trump but fired Hank Williams for criticising Obama word is that Disney ceo Bob Iger wants to eventually run for president and in the meantime is pushing his liberal agenda on all of his networks. my wife watches the View on abc and i just have to laugh because the show exists to empower women and to give them a voice but then they set women back 100 years with how stupid they sound. hearing how ignorant and uninmformed these ladies are makes me second guess whether we should still allow women to vote. Susan B Anthony is probably rolling over in her grave. i say that in jest because i know there are extremely intelligent women out there, much more so than myself, but they certainly do not exist on that show and if i was a femanist i would demand they cancel it immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Guy Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I read an opinion piece in my local rag by the "sports editor" who often comments on a lot of things non-sporting. In my opinion, he's one of those I'm smarter than any of you kind of guys. He was ranting this morning because in his mind, ESPN tried to fire her for doing her job. What? Here's what I don't get, she is a supposed "sports journalist", stick to sports, why does everyone have to drag up politics? Would there be outrage if some "sports journalist" came out in support of white supremacists? Of course! Would they get fired? Of course! These "sports journalists" need to just stick to sports.
