Sarah Spain is the latest ESPN sports journalist speaking out on behalf of Jemele Hill since the Sports Center host was suspended for two weeks and higher ups were congratulated by Trump for their action.
(Keep in mind that the President of the United States has time to applaud this action while Flint continues to not have clean water, Puerto Rico is still in shambles and in need of aid and Police violence against Black Lives remains unchecked.)
In an 11-part tweet, Spain reminds readers that it’s possible to “respect one’s bosses & company interest & still refuse to normalize what’s going on.” She goes on to express her support for her colleague and why Hill she should be “commended, supported and admired.”
To see Spain’s responses, see below and flip the pages for her 11-part exchange.
