The outspoken Jemele Hill who was previously suspended from the Disney owned ESPN sports network for calling President Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter has now lost her job at Sports Center. Her initial comments against President Trump granted her a suspension of two weeks in October for violating the company’s social media guidelines. She called fans to boycott the Dallas Cowboys’ advertisers after owner Jerry Jones told players they would be benched if they did not stand up during the national anthem. It seems like ESPN is becoming tired of her antics and unprofessionalism that divides the country and pushes consumers away from ESPN. Sports is having an uphill battle with the nation and people protesting the flag – the last thing ESPN needs is another distraction that pushes customers away, and now they’re acting on it to make things better by kicking Jemele Hill to a position on a website that is mostly unknown.
ESPN could be turning the tide and making things better with their relationship with Americans. Justice was done, and we now can confirm that Hill will be re-assigned. She is primarily being demoted to a new role at the ESPN website “The Undefeated.” The Undefeated, according to Sports Illustrated, is an ESPN site that covers the intersections of sports and race. Yeah, I’ve never heard of it neither.
ESPN insiders have now confirmed that the move was Hill’s choice but in reality, sports talk radio host Clay Travis tweeted that she was “booted” due to “collapsing ratings.” So basically; We The People spoke! Travis has been keeping up with Hill’s shenanigans and recently confirmed that he felt it was only a matter of time until she would be removed from “SportsCenter.” Travis’ speculation was supported by Sports Illustrated media guru Richard Deitsch, who predicted that Hill’s tenure as a SportsCenter anchor was “effectively over” back in October of 2017. ESPN did not immediately respond to request for comment. Clay Travis is the head honcho behind Outkick the Coverage. He was recently making headlines because he laughingly said “boobs” on television and the host pretended to act humiliated.

ESPN, which laid off 100 people this week, has a multitude of problems, but the basic one is this: It pays too much for content and costs too much for consumers.
That didn’t used to matter because, thanks to the way the cable industry “bundled” channels, cable customers were forced to pay for it even if they never watched it. Now, however, as the cable bundle slowly disintegrates, it matters a lot.
