Jemele Hill suspended by ESPN for two weeks for second 'social media violation'

The owners hold all the cards. They sign the checks.

Remember the last players holdout a few years back?

It wasn't but a month or so and alot of players were out getting payday loans to pay their house notes and child support.

They can't sustain a strike for any amount of time, and the owners know it.

It's like Kanye said, Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai

No one knew who this insignificant slob was two weeks ago. She's getting free publicity and a career boost by appealing to the lowest common denominator. At least she has Al Sharpton on her side with his threats of boycotts on ESPN. I love seeing how ESPN who gave her that job as a result of affirmative action policies, is now getting bit on the ass because of their social justice policies. Hopefully all the rats sink with the ship.

Disney and the NFL have a partnership. Jerry Jones was the primary person involved in all TV deals the NFL has made. They decided to suspend her in part because they felt criticism from certain circles after she said what she did about Trump.

ESPN is being very soft here capitulating to a corporate partner but I don't think anyone expected otherwise.
