Jemelle Hill made a little name for herself (to those of us who have no interest in watching ESPN) when she tweeted out this garbage:
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.
— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) September 11, 2017
Yeah… it’s still there. Hasn’t been taken down because she stands by it.
She was later suspended when she encouraged viewers to BOYCOTT ADVERTISERS:
This play always work. Change happens when advertisers are impacted. If you feel strongly about JJ’s statement, boycott his advertisers. https://t.co/LFXJ9YQe74

Um…. not a good move when those advertisers WRITE YOUR CHECK.
Anyway, the race-baiting ESPN Sports Center host is leaving the show.
According to Sports Illustrated:
ESPN SportsCenter anchor Jemele Hill is leaving the 6:00 p.m. SC6 edition of SportsCenter to join the staff of The Undefeated, the ESPN microsite that fuses sports, race and culture, as well as other additional assignments. Multiple sources confirmed that Hill asked management for the switch. She is expected to depart SC6 in February.
“sports, race, and culture.”
Sounds like an EXCELLENT platform for this race-baiting troll.
Last February, ESPN relaunched SportsCenter as SC6 with Jemele Hill and Michael Smith as its new anchors. In September, Hill notably became a subject of national conversation following a string of tweets in response to comments about President Donald Trump, including one where she called the President “a white supremacist.” A White House spokeswoman called for Hill to be fired and Trump also responded to Hill on Twitter. ESPN released a statement saying Hill’s comments “do not represent the position of ESPN,” and later, the network suspended Hill for two weeks for violating its social media policy.
Earlier this month, Hill was a guest on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, where she openly discussed her tweets about Trump and the White House reaction to those tweets; whether she fits into the SportsCenter paradigm; how much management discusses ratings with her; what she hopes 2018 will bring, and much more.
Reactions are in:
DEMOTED: Jemele Hill is leaving ESPN’s SportsCenter.
That’s what happens when your ratings fall. #JemeleHill

Al Franken – resigned
Jemele Hill – demoted
Corrine Brown – prison
John Conyers – resigned
Anthony Weiner – prison
Kathy Griffin – career over
Hillary Clinton – historic loss
Harvey Weinstein – disgraced#FridayFeeling #ImNoFanOfTrumpBut— #ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) January 26, 2018
Jemele Hill is out at SportsCenter.
ESPN should stop focusing on politics and get back to focusing on sports.

Why is she still even on the air? If anyone is a racist, it's her. So tired of all this playing of the race card. What are you doing to make it better? In her case, Nothing!
Anti-Trump ESPN host Jemele Hill will no longer host 'SportsCenter' https://t.co/TvjF1GmwjC #FoxNews— American Patriot (@13Tide13) January 26, 2018
Jemele Hill is a racist. She should be working for Al Sharpton if she wants to be a race baiter, not anchoring 'SportsCenter'.
Glad she’s gone. #FridayFeeling #FlashbackFriday pic.twitter.com/zhVrewGk0h
