ESPN Issues Craven Apology For Jemele Hill's Accurate Descriptions Of Donald Trump:
ESPN SportsCenter host Jemele Hill called Donald Trump a bigot and white supremacist on Twitter Monday night, and the backlash to these pretty standard and well-founded opinions compelled the network to give Hill a talking-to and to release a statement.
An ESPN spokesperson wouldnt elaborate on whether Hill faced any discipline beyond a conversation with her bosses. These were some of Hills tweets. They seem pretty accurate and not at all inappropriate.

our major corporate masters start to denounce this vile piece of filth like Jemele did, we are at greater risk.

He didn't catch two housing discrimination cases because loved Black people.
