ESPN Issues Craven Apology For Jemele Hill's Accurate Descriptions Of Donald Trump:
ESPN SportsCenter host Jemele Hill called Donald Trump a bigot and white supremacist on Twitter Monday night, and the backlash to these pretty standard and well-founded opinions compelled the network to give Hill a talking-to and to release a statement.
An ESPN spokesperson wouldnt elaborate on whether Hill faced any discipline beyond a conversation with her bosses. These were some of Hills tweets. They seem pretty accurate and not at all inappropriate.
