Will Disney CEO fire ESPN's Jemele Hill or will he 'let her slide'?

Bob Iger, Disney CEO is being pressured to fire an obvious racist whose racially charged words have angered conservatives and now maybe some NFL bosses.

Iger, like Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Mark Cuban, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Andrew Cuomo, Al Franken, Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee, Tim Kaine, Terry McAuliffe, John Hickenlooper, Martin O'Malley, Howard Schultz, Mark Zuckerberg, George Clooney, Rosie O'Donnell, Ozzie and Harriet, may have designs on running against President Trump in 2020, and he might be risking upsetting the leftists.

And hopefully, those who already ran against Trump, will still be alive in 2020 as the Democratic Party is made up of old men and women who love illegal immigrants more than they love the National Anthem.

From a business standpoint, it would be wise for Iger to ditch the racist Hill. She's definitely bad for business and cannot be too bright for making those remarks.

Calling the president a "white supremacist" and saying that if he "were not white, he never would have been elected," wasn't very smart. One could make a case that if Barack Obama were not black, he'd have not been elected president because he got well over 90 percent of the black vote, and according to Harry Reid, he is clean and well-spoken. [And Democrats don't have a problem with Harry Reid having said that.]

Hill was merely suspended for two weeks on Monday after she violated the company's social media guidelines for the second time in less than a month.

Al Sharptongue defended Jemele Hill because he too is a racist and she is black and Trump is a white Republican. Sharptongue said that Hill's suspension "should NOT go unanswered."

If there's a buck to be made out of a racial issue, Sharpton's on it like wet on water, or the other simile that I'm not going to write. 

Hill also went after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' new policy that his players must stand for the National Anthem. She said that her audience should boycott the team's advertisers. Not smart.

Dan Gainor, the VP of Media Research Center believes Hill has shown sh has "no ethics: and if Iger wants ESPN to remain successful, she needs to go.

"She falsely claimed that President Trump is a white supremacist. She wasn't fired or suspended. She didn't have to apologize to Trump or even take down the posts. But let her say something about lefty ESPN's advertisers and she is suspended instantly," Gainor told Fox News. "If ESPN wants some return to credibility, she can't stay. She wouldn't fit in. But if ESPN wants to stay as what critics call MSESPN, the 'woke' version of sports, then Hill certainly fits in well."

Iger has become more political lately and some are speculating that he, like other people on TV or in politics, has his eyes on the White House. And according the the failing New York Times, Iger is "emerging as a credible contender in the 2020 presidential speculation game," and the left-wing Washington Post has him listed as a top contender to make it onto the Democratic ticket.

Jennifer Saba of Reuters, said Iger's "priorities are all out of whack" because he runs a huge media company ($155 billion) and if he's serious about running against Trump, it shouldn't be at the expense of Disney or Mickey.

Iger admits he was directly involved in the decision to keep Hill on board, mainly because, while he hasn't experienced racism directed at his whiteness, he understands that black Americans are not happy with Trump because of the bull crap his type of media puts out there. It isn't as if the KKK and neo-nazis were laying low while Obama was president--they just refused to report on it.

This post could go on and on about Hill and Iger, but I won't bore you with the same garbage details about Hill's lame excuses, other than to say that Clay Travis, a Fox Sports radio host, labeled Hill's actions as "one of the dumbest things" he's "ever seen in his life" and wondered if she is "intentionally trying to get fired" in order to get another job.

"If you are in the business that we are in," Travis said on 'Outkick the Show', "your salary is either paid by advertisers or the NFL. Especially at ESPN . . . her entire show is underwritten by these same sponsors."

So it seems as if ESPN endorsed Hill's first tweet about Trump but not the tweet involving the bottom line.

Disgusting!
