How in the world is this reprehensible human being still employed??? The following are all tweets from her. I had to cut-n-paste since she deleted them but the internet is forever. All from Jamele: And while you can certainly criticize black ppl for supporting Dems, the other side has done nothing but endorse/promote white supremacy Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists. Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period. He has surrounded himself with white supremacists -- no they are not "alt right" -- and you want me to believe he isn't a white supremacist? No the media doesn't make it a threat. It IS a threat. He has empowered white supremacists (see: Charlottesville). How is it a "false narrative?" Did he hire and court white supremacists? Answer: YES He is unqualified and unfit to be president. He is not a leader. And if he were not white, he never would have been elected
Didn't ESPN fire Schilling and Ditka for saying mean things? By the same standard this woman should be fired. ESPN has boat loads of revenue; on top of their advertisements they also get $5.00 a month (last time I looked) from every cable tv subscriber in the country, that's why ESPN insists on being carried on the Basic Tier, because if every cable tv customer is forced to get that channel then every customer's bill has five bucks a month going to ESPN. That is why it's almost useless to complain to them, your money keeps rolling in whether you watch them or not.
ESPN is going down. These wild, radical pronouncements are its swan song. At one time ESPN was huge. But no more. They've offended their main audience ... middle-aged, male, beer drinkers who are usually conservative.
Can you imagine if she wrote the same crap in reverse and she was white? She would have been fired within 24 hours. ESPN is garbage. I quit watching years ago. ESPN wants diverse staff, but they do not accept diverse opinions. They are hard left and that is it.
I honestly don't think Trump is a white supremacist. But him being in office has definitely made actual white supremacists come out of the woodwork at a staggering rate, and it shows. So, she more or less has a good argument.
Who says I am a Dem and I am used to seeing white presidents. Come to think of it, you and your ilk were the ones who had a problem with a black president.
It's the first white POTUS in over eight years, so the transition can be difficult for some. Perhaps it has been much longer, as the Bushes are reported to "reptilian" and Bill Clinton if you remember was our first black president. So the hasn't been a white as POTUS since Reagan. It's been a long time. Have some patience, most will come to see it as normal eventually.
The dumbest move ESPN made (and they've made a lot of them) was the removal of that Chinese man, Robert Lee. They are in turmoil right now, apparently.
I think we all know why, it's because she's Black and our society has it's hands tied when it comes to color. They may not have enough Dark Skin for the PC quota if they let her go.
What, the few thousands of idiots? They would've appeared even under a Hillary administration. The main difference: The political pundits wouldn't have cared. They do now, to drive a wedge between the Trump Administration and the Public. And it's unfortunately working.
ESPN's rating are down but I think most of it's due to a shrinking market share and poor business decisions. ESPN used to dominate sports cable, but now there are many more options, i.e. FS1, NBC Sports, etc... On top of that, it's still included in the cable package and the number of cable users is decreasing and only will decrease as people are more inclined to use app/internet based services rather paying the overpriced monthly flat fee for cable. And the big elephant in the room is how much ESPN threw to land NFL broadcasting rights...NFL viewership is decreasing which is going to bite them in the ass by the time that deal is done.
Both ESPN and the NFL are killing the goose that laid the Golden Egg. Live attendence at NFL games is dropping in many areas and once it is perceived as 'not the cool thing to do' TV ratings will drop more and more. This is compounded by the fact that younger White males are not becoming attached to football at an early age.......they wonder why their cucked fathers strap on some jersey with a black man's name on the back every Sunday......and watch a bunch of criminal, room temperature black thugs run a ball around a field and act like clowns. That after they disrespect the very country that allows them to make millions for their skills rather than being employed in a position that requires them to say 'you want fries wiff dat'.......
And now you know why they point and call us deplorables. Liberals and other anti-Trumpers have constantly pointed their fingers at us and called us things they're guilty of being, and accused us of the things they're guilty of. Jamele won't be reprimanded by any other anti-Trumpers either unless it starts effecting them, they'll throw their own kids under the bus faster than you can count to one if it meant stopping negative press against them.
I don't remember what happened with Ditka, but I think Schilling was fired for some things he said about transgenders on his social media pages. You are 100% correct that the same standards that applied to him need to be applied to her. I'll make a prediction that they'll end up terminating her. As they should, since they're the ones who set the precedent with Schilling.
