Jemele Hill Reportedly Leaving ESPN
ESPN and Jemele Hill appear ready to go their separate ways.
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.
New ESPN President James Pitaro reportedly said he would prefer that the company’s journalists and commentators not offer their own opinions on political matters. Did you enjoy Jemele Hill’s shows on ESPN? Do you think she is better off without ESPN?
