Sports Blogger, Jemele Hill Ends Career Has ESPN Fires Her

Jemele Hill’s career as a sports blogger for ESPN is apparently over. Hill’s contract will be terminated in September, according to media reporter James Miller.

Hill’s departure from the sports network comes nearly a year after she was suspended for 2 weeks without pay for badmouthing President Donald Trump on Twitter.com and for urging her followers to boycott Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ advertisers.

In January, Hill was demoted to ESPN’s digital space, UNDEFEATED , as a blogger.
The move by ESPN to terminate Hill’s contract came after she reportedly requested a private meeting with ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro on Friday, according to Miller.

Hill’s insistence on infusing politics with sports led to a boycott of ESPN and thousands of viewers canceled their cable subscriptions.
