ESPN’s Jemele Hill returns on Monday following a two-week suspension for her second violation of the Worldwide Leader’s social media policy.
Hill initially found herself in hot water for criticizing Donald Trump and pointing out that “white supremacy” helped him get into the White House, before sounding off on the NFL protests and ways fans can really make a difference.
The SportsCenter: 6 anchor said fans should boycott sponsors if they really want to have their voices heard.
Unfortunately for Hill, her employer and the NFL have a very close relationship and share a number of the same advertisers. As a result, she received the two-week ban.
Now, Hill is ready to come back swinging.
Ahead of her return to the air, Hill teased some “hot takes” on social media.

2 — Thank you all for standing with me and by me. Trust me, you did not do so in vain. My heart is full. See you tonight.

Get your popcorn ready, because Jemele Hill is never one to shy away from what’s on her mind and she’s had a couple of weeks to keep these latest hot takes brewing.
