I'll predict what happens next:
1. She first goes on a "leaves of absence" 2. Writes an online/magazine article about how this wouldn't have happened if she was white. 3. Ends up as a columnist for some midwest paper. |

Clearly inappropriate when rooting for the Lakers is far more like cheering for Hitler. Think about it, Phil Jackson is Hiter, Kobe is Hermann Göring, and Vladimir Radmanovic is Colonel Klink.

Well, she was a columnist for either the Detroit News or Free Press before moving on, so, I guess, she could always come home again... I'd be surprised if she played the race card, however. Hilter is pretty much off limits regardless of who you are.

It would appear that page 2, along with the last paragraph or so of page 1, are different articles.

I was never a fan of hers although she did write one article that particularly stood out to me as being good journalism:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...ge=hill/070412 Having read some of her other stuff though, I'm not surprised this is where it has ended up. |

Good article. I hadn't seen that one until you posted the link. That kind of "call out" is very, very important. Saying that, Jemele Hill is no huge loss to ESPN, if they never end up reconnecting. Also, it's my personal opinion that ESPN is no big loss for Jemele Hill. I'm sure Mrs. Hill and most other aspiring journalists would disagree with me there, though.
