Jemele Hill, the ESPN commentator who has made controversial comments about President Trump, is leaving the sports network, according to reports.

A buyout of her reported $2.5 million-per-year contract has been completed and her last day will be Friday, sources told the New York Post. The separation was due to Hill's desire to be involved in politics, while ESPN wants to be apolitical, the Post reported.

Only in America can you be a hate-filled jerk and still be rewarded for it...$2.5M...

I doubt she is upset.

Hill said she was quitting several months ago.
Why is ESPN paying her off if she quits?
I guess Hill is lying about quitting.
The payoff confirms she got canned.
Good riddance.

Justice is not anti-Christian. She deserves more than what she got.

She didn’t get canned.

She got bought off.

Dang glad I’m not a shareholder, Disney OR Hearst.

And I’ll bet it was for more than her contract stipulated.

Do shareholders care...?

Dang. A normal person with a sensible investment plan could live on that for the rest of his life.

ESPN wants to be non-political? Since when?

Hill is not the only racist at ESPN.

The separation was due to Hill's desire to be involved in politics, while ESPN wants to be apolitical, the Post reported.

"wants to be apolitical" is obviously a code phrase for "wants to keep strong black women down."

Blacks in power will give us South Africa. You get it by encouraging muslim immigration and wars against the police.

Black female bigot with a chip on her shoulder the size of the Pacific ocean. A really nasty piece of pure hate. ESPN will regret this, she will eventually turn her hate back to them.

Not sure which is more ridiculous - Jemele Hill getting paid $2.5 Million or ESPN stating they want to stay out of politics. Every ESPN show is “Hate Trump” Hate white conservatives, Hate republicans, etc.
