Jemele Hill Suspended By ESPN For Tweets Directed At Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones

ESPN anchor Jemele Hill, who first came under fire for calling President Donald Trump a "white supremacist," has now been suspended by the network for two weeks after making another political statement on social media, this one directed at Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Hill tweeted Sunday that Jones has created a problem for players, specifically black players. She was referring to Jones' statement that any of his players who "disrespect the flag" by kneeling during the national anthem would not play in any games.

Jones made the remarks after the Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. He was also asked about his thoughts on Vice President Mike Pence leaving an Indianapolis Colts game in that city when players for the San Francisco 49ers took a knee during the anthem to protest perceived oppression and injustices toward African-Americans and other people of color.

"We cannot in the NFL in any way give the implication that we tolerate disrespecting the flag," Jones said.

In a statement announcing Hill's suspension, ESPN said the anchor "previously acknowledged letting her colleagues and company down with an impulsive tweet. In the aftermath, all employees were reminded of how individual tweets may reflect negatively on ESPN and that such actions would have consequences. Hence this decision."

Hill tweeted that fans opposed to Jones' remarks should not buy the team merchandise and target their advertisers.

In a tweet on Monday, Hill said she wasn't calling for an NFL boycott.

Many came to Hill's defense after ESPN announced her suspension.

When Hill called the president a white supremacist in a tweet, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the host's remarks were a "fireable offense."
