They have made it very clear they are a leftist, lib organization. They promote left leaning political commentary by their employees so of course Hill was not going to get reprimanded. And really, that's their right, but that's also why they are heading down hill so fast. That's why I literally NEVER watch ESPN unless it's college football season. I used to watch the NFL pregame show and I even stopped that and now watch the CBS and Fox Pregame shows.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Shilling has a history of tweeting crazy stuff. This is really the first time Hill has gone off the deep end.

Whether or not you like it, politics does seep into our sports lives and if you don't like it then you are going to have to stop watching sports. ESPN has chosen to not ignore the Elephant in the room and address the stories where sports and politics mesh. After all, the sports world is just a microcosmic of our actual lives.
