f you haven’t heard by now, ESPN is laying off 100 members of their journalist and on-air talent staff today. One of the biggest names to be let go so far include Ed Werder, who found out that his dog is dying about 45 minutes before he found out he was fired from ESPN after 17 years of reporting. Other big names include Trent Dilfer, Dana O’Neil, Jeremy Crabtree, and Danny Kanell (amongst others).
A quick perusal of Twitter will and you’ll see that one big name is noticeably missing from the list of fired ESPN on-air talent: Jemele Hill. People are becoming mean as hell out there, on an unacceptable level. Personally, I don’t know enough about Jemele’s body of work to understand why so many people hate her because I stopped watching ESPN several years ago when it became insufferable. I’ve read through this list of ‘Jemele Hill Controversies‘ including suspensions and reprimands for overstepping the boundaries, and times she didn’t get suspended when others might’ve. So I have some semblance of why people want to see her fired, but I’m by no means an expert on the situation.
Anyways, we’re here to talk about Twitter reaction to Jemele Hill not being fired, so here are some of the coldblooded, dickhead-ish reactions:
@jemelehill If someone makes shitty sandwiches, i'd be relieved if they get fired because i want to buy yummy sandwiches. You make shitty sandwiches.

@barstoolsports the fact that ESPN will lay off 100 people and @jemelehill and @michaelsmith aren't two of them is an absolute disgrace

ESPN replaced @SageSteele because of her political comments. @JemeleHill's Twitter has a pinned pic with Obama. #doublestandard #ESPNLayoffs

If Jemele Hill survives these ESPN cuts then they are doomed.

ESPN is cutting John Buccigross after 21 years but they give Michael Smith and Jemele Hill prime time television… No sense. pic.twitter.com/y6cAAUnUrP

I hope to raise my kids in a world where they can turn on ESPN and never have to see Michael Smith or Jemele Hill

ESPN is firing reporters who do actual reporting, and yet Michael Smith, Jemele Hill, and Dan LeBatard will still be on the air.. Sad

@jemelehill everyone wishing you to get fired isn't because they're terrible people, it's because you have a terrible show and deserve it

@jemelehill at least ESPN finally got their wish and gutted all the hockey coverage. Now 8 people can cover LeBron. Who runs this place, Michael Scott?

@jemelehill No idea how you made the cut to not get cut. SC6 has to focus more on sports. It's insanely stupid right now
