haha i just like giving you a hard time! I try to not take things too seriously here
She looks like a cross between Predator and a Ninja Turtle
I haven't watched Sports center in years, Espn's continuous political movements have pushed me away. Doubt ill be back regardless of who the host is.
I like it when strong women use their voices to speak out about injustice.
Undisputed will be a great place for her to do that.
I see we have some more future XFL 2.0 fans in the house. Football has to played in some space, why not a safe space?
Yeah, but NOT on a sports network, and that goes for the men as well.
Sportscenter will be safe for the conservative snowflakes again. Hallelujah!
It still won't be worth the time or trouble to watch because it just isn't very good television.

There are a lot of people in this thread that "don't watch ESPN" that are very happy they won't have to "not watch" someone on ESPN anymore.
Not sure they can afford him. I think the pigeons he yells at in the park every day pay pretty well.
Some people hate hearing the

Generally, the reason people "don't watch ESPN" is because of divisive individuals...like the one that was fired.
Therefore someone like myself, who stopped watching a show that I grew up on, will probably be more inclined to watch the network based on what appears to be a desire to depoliticize their flagship program.
They have about 20 different episodes of SportsCenter every day. Jemele Hill is/was on one of them.
The politics have spread to almost every show they have that isn't a live sporting event.
I'm not a fan of that hour of Sportscenter solely because of the tweet-heavy, viral video style that her and her co-host have moved towards - has nothing to do with her political stances on Twitter which I have no problem with. I think the Undefeated is a better fit for her and she will do well there.
Her ratings are awful and she just got a multi year contract last year. They won’t fire her.
Very true. But she was on their flagship program. If she was on the ESPN at 2 am, do you think this would have gathered as much attention?
They moved her from their most expensive timeslot from an advertisement perspective to a group that is specifically an internet venture. They may get a soundbite, but there are no daily television shows associated with the program.
So essentially, ESPN moved someone who they had previously deemed as one of their lead anchors...to a blogger...
I would say this adjustment would affect the way some view the company/program as a whole.
Politics is pretty much ruining everything these days. Both sides. Doesn't matter what you're doing, somebody is going to find a way to politicize it. It's exhausting.
