I believe the verbiage they used when firing Schilling is

that they're an "inclusive" company.
The hypocrisy was evident from the onset.

Schilling is a hateful bigot, not to mention the millions of dollars he scammed from the state of Rhode Island. Jemele just calls it like she sees it, and she isn't wrong.

so you honestly think Trump is racist? When it comes to Jamele that is a pretty strong claim to throw about about the POTUS, especially on a platform that is supposed to cover sports. Why continue to divide the country deeper? Why not be more active in making a change with her public position than calling names and spewing hate?

that is why his administration knee-jerked at every opportunity it had to make any and everything about race. Sending Eric Holder to Ferguson, yeaaaaaa, because he would have done that if Michael Brown was white. Trump was never thought of as racist until he started his political career against dems, that is all they have to run on.....race.

Got anything that doesn't come from liberal fueled New York during the campaign timeframe?? Like any articles archived from the 80's...90's??? I'd believe more if there is proof from the actual time frame, not some piece written in the most liberal city in America during the year the race was.

Do the research. He was sued (successfully) by the State of NY for racial discrimination in his housing. The facts were put on the table. He settled and paid a huge fine instead of fighting it.
The man is a dirtbag, and has a long history of being one.

So Trump being sued for discrimination 30 years ago is hard evidence that he's 100% a racist? What about all the jobs he's given not only to blacks but all minorities? What about all the minorities that actually know him go to bat for him in the media constantly? What about the money he's donated to different charities over the years of which some were minorotity charities? The line that "he has a long history of being racist" couldn't be further from the truth and just goes to show that is the left's only arguments these days. If they don't like something immediately call it racist. Good thing is the American people are wising up to this and voting Republican.

I said he has a long history of being a dirtbag. You replaced "racist" with my word. And yes, I would say his lies and claims about immigrants, refugees, and other "brown people" that he spewed all during his campaign would lend credence to the notion that he's a racist, at least a casual one if not quite a torch burner like the ones he defended at Charlottesville. And LOL, more people that I know who voted for the orange-faced fukwadd did so because they were voting AGAINST Hillary then FOR Trum. His approval rating is a reflection of the current outlook on him by most Americans, outside of the batsh!t crazy extremists who still support this idiot.
As far as my choice of "dirtbag," you need only reference his past history of sexism, xenophobia, and thoroughly documented history of being a liar, cheat, and con-man in his business dealings.
You can keep your head in a bag and cry "fake news!" all you want, I'm not a drinker of that flavor of KoolAid.

Isn't it funny that Trump was never viewed as or called a racist until the day the ran against Hillary right after the first black democratic president. No, no coincidence there.

Jemele is a hateful bigot, too. Her buddy Collin can't get a job because he is disruptive to the locker room and his last two years at SF he had QBR of 43.4 and 49.5, oh and he had 6 TDs vs 5 INTs one of those years. That QBR is 30 points below the level he played 5 years ago.
ESPN's continuing dive into the SJW cesspool continues...how about just show us sports and leave the political action committee talk on other stations? And I don't want to see Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh on ESPN either.

you're entitled to your opinion and so are the rest on this site! She's a total waste of time and I can only imagine the reaction had someone said the same or similar thing about Obama! If you don't like the leadership in this country now you're always free to leave and go wherever you think might be better for you! That's the beauty of this place WE call America---no one forces you to do anything you don't like.

Wow, I haven't heard the old "love it or leave it" argument since Vietnam. I think if they fired Schilling then they should fire her. ESPN is struggling with reality on a lot of fronts.
But your quote on Obama caught my eye. "... I can
> only imagine the reaction had someone said the same
> or similar thing about Obama!" Ummmm, you don't remember the whole "Born in Kenya" birther thing do ya? Or maybe the "he's a Muslim" thing? 'member?
If you can't take it when someone attacks your guy, then stop watching tv. The right tore through Obama on a daily basis. Obama made FoxNews a fortune, Live with it. What's good for the goose....etc.
Peace!

people confusing opinion with truth. The current narrative in our society right now is not truth, it is sales. News is not news any more, sadly it has become a way to raise revenue, pander to a customer base, and placate to those that will consume more so the production company can sell more ads and raise revenue. Unfortunately this causes each news outlet to sensationalize everything, and try to create as much controversy as they can even when there is none, and further cause divisiveness in the country so they can define their loyal consumer segment and exploit them for gain. It is a sad thing we have done to the freedom of the press.

MSESECPN sucks. If they didn't own college football I'd never watch them.
I've already cut the cord and voted with my wallet.
Jamelle was always a tool and never did anything to deserve prime time but this goes too far by any standard. She should be fired but won't. Therefore, watch as little ESPN as you can.

Kurt Schilling says this:
“A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the #####, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”
He gets fired and ESPN releases this statement:
ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.
Jamele Hill says this:
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists. The height of white privilege is being able to "ignore" his white supremacy, because it's of no threat to you. Well, it's a threat to me. 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 You just don't want to believe it because it's too unpleasant. But that doesn't change the facts. 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. Donald Trump is a bigot. Glad you could live with voting for him. I couldn't, because I cared about more than just myself.
If she doesn't get fired for her rant, that's #blackprivilege

Barack Obama is a Muslim who has largely surrounded himself w/ other Muslims. The height of Muslim privilege is being able to "ignore" his Muslim supremacy, because it's of no threat to you. Well, it's a threat to me. Obama is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of Muslim supremacy. Period. He has surrounded himself with Muslims -- no they are not "peaceful Muslims" -- and you want me to believe he isn't a Muslim? No the media doesn't make it a threat. It IS a threat. He has empowered Muslims (see: Orlando). How is it a "false narrative?" Did he hire and court Muslims? Answer: YES You just don't want to believe it because it's too unpleasant. But that doesn't change the facts. He is unqualified and unfit to be president. He is not a leader. And if he were not black, he never would have been elected. Barack Obama is a bigot.

Sports talk TV/radio is the only thing worse for your IQ than political/news talk.

It doesn't really matter in the end. Their time as a network is coming to an end. It's not really even and if now but a when. They're dragging down Disney's profits and it won't be too long before Disney will either be forced to sell or disband ESPN entirely. Sad considering I grew up on ESPN and SportsCenter actually used to be a great show back in the day.

She may be correct. That said, that wasn't a good call on her part to let that be known.
