ESPN is in the news once again for being shallow, callous, timid and stupid.

Jemele Hill had the right to tweet whatever she wanted to the other day, and for ESPN to come out and apologize on her behalf was an absolute joke. Hill is right. That monster, and monsters, that are currently in Washington right now are the biggest bunch of racist assholes that may have ever been in office. And yes, I'm counting the people that were in the government in the 19th and early 20th century. What we have in office right now is a terrifying group of horrendous racists, homophobes, yes men and women, people who will not chastise and condemn white supremacists, people who want to roll back long lasting Title IX laws. Basically, we have the scum of the Earth trying, and failing, to run this country. These morons are more interested in denying climate change, claiming that there is fault on both sides when talking about Nazis and trying to fatten their own pockets. This current "government" has no clue.

So yes, I stand with Jemele Hill. She can say whatever the hell she wants when she goes on her own personal Twitter account. I don't care that she is a Michigan State grad, she was using her free speech and ESPN decided they needed to chastise her. This is horrendous. Why do they constantly do stupid stuff like this? Is it the fact that Hill is a big time face of the network now, and she is even bigger when it comes to football? Most definitely.

ESPN is so in the bag with the NFL and the owners that they will not let anyone that talks about football say one bad thing about the higher ups. Look at what happened to Bill Simmons when he called out Roger Goodell. The same Roger Goodell, when asked about Colin Kaepernick, said he wasn't a "football expert". Did ESPN go out and protect one of their most popular employees? Of course not. They fined, suspended and eventually fired him. Look what happens when Tony Kornheiser bad mouths the NFL on "PTI". He gets suspended and loses a good chunk of money.

The thing with Hill though, she wasn't attacking the NFL. She was going after the "president", which the majority of the country does now. That oaf is not fit for the position that he is in right now. Everything Hill tweeted was one hundred percent correct, and I have thought the same things many times over the past 7 and a half months. Hell, I have said as much on the "X Millennial Man" podcast, and written about it more than enough on the website. Hill was in no way out of line.

I would have taken it even further. That goon in office right now is a cancer to society and many, many people are saying the exact same thing that Hill tweeted the other day. I have no problem with what she said, as previously stated, and not many other people do either. In fact, she has gotten a wealth of support from many people, including big name people. Colin Kaepernick is one of her biggest supporters. Michael Rappoport has become one of her biggest aides, especially on Twitter. I love the videos he has been making since all this came out. Many political pundits have agreed with her. She has so much more support than anyone could have ever imagined, but ESPN does not care about that.

I ask again, why?

Why did ESPN feel like they had to come out and issue an apology? Can grown people not speak their mind anymore if they work there? Is the talent supposed to keep their mouth shut no matter how bad the injustice is? Do we live in the 50's again where no one can talk back? Is it because she is a woman? I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think the answer to all these questions, at least from ESPN's side, is yes, and that is a crying shame. Did they issue the apology because that douchebag in office has a bunch of NFL owners in his hip pocket? Yes, and that is horrifying. ESPN is more worried about sponsors and money than letting a grown woman speak her mind. What a crock. Apparently the only time grown people can talk at ESPN is when they are told too. That is ridiculous as well. Let these people talk. They have minds of their own and they should be allowed to express their feelings while not at work, which is exactly what Hill did. We most definitely do not live in the 50's anymore, so speak your mind Hill. You are extremely popular with the younger viewing audience, so even if ESPN is stupid enough to let you go, you will get picked up quick. Hell, it may be for the best. As far as her being a woman, I think that most definitely had something to do with this. ESPN got scared when Erin Andrews started to speak her mind, but she got out and got a better gig at Fox. Like I just said, Hill will get a job in half an hour if she leaves or is let go at ESPN.

This is all ludicrous and a just flat out stupid. Keep speaking your mind Jemele Hill. You have the right to free speech, and that is something that no one, especially not ESPN can take away from you. I stand with Jemele Hill.
