Jemele Hill Of ESPN Gets Demoted
2018-01-26
Her appeal has just become more selective...

ESPN’s Jemele Hill will move from co-anchor of the 6 p.m. "SportsCenter" to join the staff of The Undefeated, the worldwide leader’s website that focuses on race, sports, and culture, it was announced Friday.

In addition to writing for The Undefeated, Hill also will also appear on "E:60," "Outside the Lines," "Around the Horn," and other ESPN programs. Her final day on the 6 p.m. "SportsCenter" ‐ known as SC6 ‐ will be Feb. 2. Hill has co-anchored SC6 with Michael Smith since ESPN rebranded the program’s time slot a year ago.

Hill began talks recently with higher-ups to make the switch, according to an ESPN release, and ultimately wanted to go back to writing.

Yeah, I'm reeeeealy buying that one!

#1  SC6 with her Thulsa Doom and Michael Smith was basically "Tonight in Black Sports". So inherently racial and unwatchable, ESPN was banished for at least that hour from my local watering hole/sports bar. Anyone requesting it was also banned discouraged
