ESPN-Disney is always trying to play both sides of the fence and that is normally what gets them in trouble. If you can’t see the difference in Rosanne calling a black woman an APE and Jemele Hill calling Trump a White Supremacist, then you are probably part of MAGA.
If I lived in a house with 10 monkeys and someone called me monkey lover, that would be accurate. If someone just randomly called me a monkey that would be racist. Trump is surrounded by white supremacists and calls Nazis very fine people. This isn’t apples to apples, but ESPN has issued the following warning.
ESPN managers are telling their most outspoken broadcasters and writers to be careful on social media in light of Disney axing Roseanne Barr’s TV show over her racist tweets, sources told The Post.
A source said that the Disney-owned ESPN was specifically reaching out to the most politically outspoken of its broadcasters. Jemele Hill, Keith Olbermann and Kenny Mayne are the ones most frequently associated with venturing outside of sports.
While ESPN’s upper management on Thursday was mainly focused on getting the message to its most outspoken personalities, some managers also sent the word to broadcasters and writers who have never been embroiled in any social-media controversies pertaining to politics or race.
This is the Trump America we live in.
