The other day ESPN commentator Jemele Hill tweeted
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.

OK, let’s put that aside for a moment and do a little retrospective. Remember when Curt Schilling
was fired from ESPN for sharing a Facebook post?
Former big league pitcher Curt Schilling was fired by ESPN on Wednesday as a baseball analyst a day after he shared a Facebook post that apparently was in response to the North Carolina transgender law.
Schilling, who had been with ESPN since 2010, shared a post that showed an overweight man wearing a wig and women’s clothing, but parts of the T-shirt were cut out to show his chest. Next to the photo of the man was text that read: “LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow minded, judgmental, unloving, racist bigot who needs to die!!!”
Schilling then added: “A man is man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”
ESPN released a statement on Schilling’s dismissal.
“ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.”
Remember when ESPN commentator Linda Cohn
was suspended for saying ESPN was becoming too political?
ESPN has suspended veteran sportscaster Linda Cohn after she accused her employer of talking too much about politics.
As first reported by Clay Travis of Fox Sports Radio, ESPN president John Skipper told Cohn not to come into work and “think about what she said.”
Cohn has been a staple of ESPN’s Sportscenter, working as an anchor since 1992.
However, she has been rather outspoken about politics’ place within ESPN and Sportscenter. She went on record in April during an interview with “the Bernie and Sid Show” (h/t Sports Illustrated) that politics were becoming a sizable problem within the industry.
Even a moron liberal could recognize that she was right. ESPN ratings are tanking
No one wants to hear politics injected into sports and despite the fact that their ratings are tanking ESPN is encouraging their commentators to be more political.
Thanks to the current super-charged political climate, discussion of political issues seems to pop up almost everywhere, even during coverage of football games. In recognition of that, ESPN has issued new guidelines for how and when its staff are supposed to mix sports and politics.
In a blog post about the new rules, ESPN public editor Jim Brady acknowledged that coming out with these kinds of guidelines is something that typically happens before an election, not after. But “we are living in unique political times,” he said, and so the Disney-owned network decided it was necessary to clarify the rules.
Well, I guess that means some commentators and the “proper” issues.
Like Jemele Hill-
who only got a slap on the wrist for calling the President a “white supremacist.”
I don’t understand why some commentators can get political without severe punishment and some cannot. I am hoping our readers can help me with this.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Oh, I think you understand.
It’s how propaganda and indoctrination work. First, the media is overtaken. Then, the message become monolithic. Then, people, deprived of the balance of truth and propaganda, only have one version of reality to accept.
To get to that point, all dissenting (and rational) voices must be silenced and purged. The media does it and our college campuses do it. Interest groups in society try to do it through threats and intimidation. This reveals the abject fear they have of the truth.
To be fair to this young black woman, the new definition of “white supremicist” is “anyone to the right of Stalin.
ALL Republicans are thus “white supremicists.”
ANY black person who doesn’t tow the liberal line is, too.
“Charles Barkley, whose viewpoints consistently coincide with those of the oppressors of black America, decided that the best way to solve the race problem in America was to make a space on his national platform for white supremacist Richard Spencer.”
The political spectrum as seen by the snowflake generation.

ESPN Evidence of Stupid Pandering to Nit-wits phooie on them and the poltical based acts of liberal stupidity
I am not going to let them suck the joy of out of watching my Packers. Cut the cord, stop paying huge cable bills that fund this stuff. I remember when Sport games were a distraction from everyday troubles, get the snacks and just enjoy the game. When the biggest political statement was a game dedicated to a childrens hospital. All these agenda buttwipes can spin off the earth, GO PACK GO, on the local channel.
I highly doubt it’s a matter of your understanding but rather your repeated practice of denial and obfuscation. That and the likelihood that it makes your white blood boil and you just want to make a point of it.
But I could be wrong on your comprehension abilities as you’ve presented multiple examples of only understanding what you choose to see and depend on your trolling band of merrymen (“hoping our readers can help me with this”! LOL as in precisely who in the hell are you talking to?) to validate your lack of understanding?
Did you seek “understanding” in FOX News, O’riely, Hannity, Mike Savage, and on and on and on when they attempted to de-legitimatize Barack Obama? Or when they promoted concepts of anti-American agendas? Or of Hank Wiliams Jr or Van Hallen with their rather derogative slanders (But of course, you likely well understood the Dixie Chicks backlash when they questioned Bush’s Iraq quagmire)? The answer is not only a resounding “NO” but you joined them.
Granted, that’s a stray from political hacks and paid spinsters than it is from a sports outlet who say they want to stay politically neutral and the unfairness you identify yet can’t understand. But it does kind of point out your hypocritical and bigoted wall.
One last thing, Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists and it would be interesting to know what it is that YOU find so hard to understand about that reality. Or maybe, it’s just a quality you admire?
@Ajay42302:
You are a luciferian racist.
I will not adhere to the lefts White Guilt platform all of the bigotry and racism looking under every rock for something to be offended and outraged with. With all the hype the names they call people no longer mean anything.
Just go cuddle your scruffy cat look in the mirror to see whos to blame for your condition.
@Ajay42302: Are you aware that you spewed out that entire diatribe without even a hint of addressing the question? Then, there was this:
So, let’s go…
What is your substantiation for calling Trump a racist?
Does Hillary dropping N-bombs make her a racist (and, by extension, all of her supporters)?
Is ANTIFA committing violence?
Shouldn’t the left be demanding Yale University change its name because Elihu Yale was a slave trader and the school was built with support from slave traders?
Tell us of how Trump “breached the Constitution”.
Why do liberals get to make vile, unsubstantiated accusations in media but conservatives get fired if they voice a non-liberal opinion?
OH… look at the first one. Care to give it a whirl? Cmon…. shatter my established view of you.
@Ajay42302:
Let me clarify something for you. The above are news and politics. ESPN is neither. It is supposed to be sports, free of the above. I knew this would be a challenge for you.
It’s “derogatory.” And it’s “O’Reilly.”
Who is Van Hallen?
The racist who received the Ellis Island Award? That one? The guy who was never a racist until the day he won the Presidency?
You are laughable, BJ
@DrJohn:
Yes, if you read my very comment that you responded to, I made clear my understanding of the difference of news and politics and that ESPN was neither but hell, if it helps you in your distraction of reality, I understand. And while I appreciate your spelling tutorials, I also understand your need to use that as a cowardly tuck-tail-and-run from the arguments they pertained to.
While it’s appreciated that you acknowledge Trump’s racism after his election victory, let’s not forget those multiple DOJ lawsuits against him for housing discrimination, him disqualifying the judgment of an American born Fed judge based solely of his Mexican heritage, his long history of playing the racist birther card, his allegiance to white supremacist, neo nazis, and KKK during his campaign, and as I usually add, on and on and on.
So yes, many of us saw and knew he was a racist long before his victory but again, at least you can bring yourself to admit that he “was never a racist until the day he won the Presidency”.
But as you’ve demonstrated repeatedly, history is a product only of your own making.
@Ajay42302:
WOW!!! Did I just read that, written by the foremost cowardly argument fleeing worm?
No. Wrong. He objected to a supporter of La Raza and illegal immigration ruling on his case, since Trump has vowed to uphold US laws. He felt, like most liberal judges, he would be biased and dishonest.
Hillary played the birther card, a fact you seem to enjoy ignoring. Trump merely resolved it. But, this raises a new question; how is questioning Obama’s demonstrably dubious birth records racist? I’ll add that to my list.
Here is the still un-resolved list:
What is your substantiation for calling Trump a racist?
Does Hillary dropping N-bombs make her a racist (and, by extension, all of her supporters)?
Is ANTIFA committing violence?
Shouldn’t the left be demanding Yale University change its name because Elihu Yale was a slave trader and the school was built with support from slave traders?
Tell us of how Trump “breached the Constitution”.
Why do liberals get to make vile, unsubstantiated accusations in media but conservatives get fired if they voice a non-liberal opinion?
Now, since you have established a position on dodging questions, I KNOW you will answer these. Unless, of course, you are merely a lying little coward.
The feminists did this, they can fix it..
EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL WHEN YOU’RE A WOMAN!!
The personal is political, also termed The private is political, is a political argument used as a rallying slogan of student movement and second-wave feminism from the late 1960s. It underscored the connections between personal experience and larger social and political structures. In the context of the feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s, it was a challenge to the nuclear family and family values. The phrase has been repeatedly described as a defining characterization of second-wave feminism, radical feminism, women’s studies, or feminism in general. It differentiated the second-wave feminism of the 1960s and 1970s from the early feminism of the 1920s, which was concerned with achieving the right to vote for women.
which women already had in 19 states, as well as blacks, but then the progressive changed the laws…
and for the racialist side:

[given that they are now worried about total population collapse for a certain group that things being extinct you still have a future… dont matter what anyone does now – cant wake em up, and their forward thinking train has no brakes!!!!!]
Why doesn’t someone ask these idiots, on air, what makes Trump a white supremacist? Since the greatest mind we know, AJ, shakes in fear whenever he sees the question and runs and hides, I get the sense that no one HAS an explanation.
