| ESPN’s Jemele Hill on Calling Trump a ‘White Supremacist’: ‘I Don’t Regret What I Said' |
| 2018-01-06 |
| [BREITBART] ESPN host Jemele Hill says she is not sorry for the content of a tweet, in which she called President Trump a “white supremacist.” Instead, her only regret is that she used social media as her platform to do it. What's that have to do with sports? Hill, the host of the network’s popular SportsCenter, has continued to spout her political views despite finger waging from ESPN bosses. She has even continued her commentary after the entire company was brought together for a mandatory meeting to go over the company’s ban on overtly political comments on social media. Indeed, she is even unrepentant despite having served a two-week suspension for breaking the company’s social media policy. Hill first sparked controversy when she jumped to Twitter last year to call President Donald Trump a “white supremacist.” Hill was scolded but not punished by ESPN for that violation, but after a second violation only a few weeks later, network bosses handed Hill a two-week suspension. This month, Hill appeared on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast and told host Richard Deitsch that she doesn’t regret her comments in the least. She only regrets that she made her comments on Twitter. |

| #3 "Today in black sports" Pretty much redundant now, isn't it? |

| #2 If you pay for a cable or sat TV bundle, you are paying her salary whether you watch her or not. I'm concerned that my cable ISP was all too relaxed about selling me internet without a TV bundle. I suspect that's because they are subsidizing the shrinking number of TV bundle subscribers by skinning me back. |
