On Monday, ESPN anchor Jamele Hill called out President Donald Trump on Twitter, calling him a white supremacist, “the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime,” and a bigot — among other things.
The following day, ESPN issued a response to their “SportsCenter” host, saying those comments “do not represent the position of ESPN” and that “we have addressed this with Jemele and she recognizes her actions were inappropriate.”
Hill, who is African-American, was personally attacked on social media with numerous racist responses directed at her accounts.
She also found plenty of support with a number of high-profile athletes and celebrities taking her side.
