Jemele Hill situation puts ESPN in tough position
When athletes, or media personalities, enter politics into the equation, it’s often a toxic mix.

A co-anchor of “SC 6,” a show on SportsCenter with one of television’s most sought after 6 p.m. time slots, Hill is in trouble after sending out multiple tweets calling current President Donald Trump a “white supremacist.”
