ESPN issues apology after host Jemele Hill calls Trump a white supremacist

They're apologizing because one of their hosts said the right thing for once?

As ESPN hemorrhages views it's probably a wise thing to distance themselves from this host.

1. The fans that post and call in to shows are mostly deplorables

says the DUmpmonkie who spells deplorable wrong.

2. Should she also apologize for saying that today is Tuesday? NT

5. This is special, a "news" organization apologizing for having a reporter tell the truth. A sign...of the times.

It is a sign of the times when public figures call out the president of the USA with vile language. Sort of reminds me of 1858-1860 America if truth be told.

I can just imagine the cries of rage had the magic negro been treated even remotely like Trump is being treated.
Two-faced liberal pukes disgust me.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Too bad Kurt Schilling never received this courtesy, he was immediately fired.  Double standards ESPN has them.

Posted something similar at CU.  ESPN is essentially unwatchable anymore.  Only tune in for live sporting events that I can't get elsewhere.  Grew up and into adulthood watching SportsCenter.  No more, and shame on them.

I have been doing the same for the last 6-8 months or so. I can get the scores and highlights online without having to endure all of the smug liberal claptrap. After a couple of weeks it became as natural as breathing.

These F*wits don't get that people like me view sports to ESCAPE from politics. When Obozo stated showing up in the broadcast booths of games I was watching, I instantly tuned them out.
Screw these assholes that can't seem to keep their politics out of every freaking thing they touch!

Precisely.  Sports are an escape from political garbage.  But the liberal left is just doubling down on their mission.  Don't see any of this crap on MLB Network, Golf Channel and NFL Network.
