I agree. Questioning or criticizing your company's business practices is probably frowned on in most boardrooms. The other lady was just giving a political opinion.I'm shocked she would ever be suspended by ESPN. I completely agree with everything she said but you have to be careful calling out your own employer even if you are being honest.
That is a fair assessment. On the other hand, at least Cohn was making sports-related comments, which seems to be what sports show hosts tend to do.I agree.

If Cohn tweeted she thought Trump was doing great #MAGA, then her being suspended and the other woman wasn't would be hypocritical.

Did he really. Dude just can't get out of his own way. So petty.I really don't care at all about this story, but I agree with the distinction that Crimson1967 drew.
As an aside, I'm glad ESPN hasn't publicly reprimanded Hill, for the sole reason that Trump has actually called for her firing. If Obama had demanded that a private business terminate one of its employees because they deigned to openly criticize him, Fox, talk radio, and this board would've exploded in righteous fury. And let us not forget that Trump called Obama racist while he was president, so the hypocrisy here is deafening.
There is literally a tweet for every situation. In this case, there are multiple.Did he really. Dude just can't get out of his own way. So petty.

I'd understand calls for her to be fired as the rhetoric was pretty hostile and not constructive in the least - her comments probably hurt ESPN's brand more than anything so I'd understand if they let her go.I wasn't aware, but apparently they have at least issued some public comment re: Hill.

I agree (and the fact that she criticized is the bottom line) but the comments were so mild that a suspension seems like an overreaction. She didn't name call or mock or scorn or use sarcasm in any way, she just stated her opinion. I can understand an internal rebuke.How is anyone surprised that someone who spoke critically of their employer (in a very public forum) was suspended? Whether she was correct or not is immaterial - she played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.
The best thing Trump could have done with that situation is not say a word and when a reporter asked him about Jemele Hill's comments say "Who?"I really don't care at all about this story, but I agree with the distinction that Crimson1967 drew.
