Jemele Hill is switching gears in her career, leaving her position as anchor on ESPNâs SportsCenter to join the staff of The Undefeated, an ESPN-owned website that focuses on the intersection of sports, race and culture, as well as take on additional assignments.
As Sports Illustrated notes, the move comes after Hill sparked national conversation through a string of tweets, including one in which she rightly called President Donald Trump a white supremacist.
From there, freedom of the press be damned, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called Hillâs tweets a âfireable offenseâ and âoutrageous.â
Hill was suspended for two weeks amid the fallout, with ESPN releasing a statement saying that HIllâs comments âdo not represent the positionâ of the companyâbecause God forbid you denounce someone who has already shown the whole, entire world his hand.
