Dan Patrick Responds to the Jemele Hill Controversy | 9/14/17

[@Gwolf888]

Dan Patrick has a lot of experience because he worked for the Mothership Aka ESPN for nearly two decades he's probably seen people come and go and he's on point in this situation

[@Bossrich6287]

Espn didn't do anything,but if you say anything about Obama,i promise you'll be fired.

[@checkmateforever]

Dan Patrick is one of the most rational guys out in the sport industry. Always makes great points.

[@shantellawilson9789]

Blaqnostic he has a good point to you but not too I nor us you guys going to say what you want to say that just being white Point Blank and don't reply to this because it's the truth you m************ are racist and so your president y'all know that a hundred and a thousand percent

[@Garrett1240]

+ Shantella Wilson LOL, check this person out.

[@Gioatx88]

Blaqnostic he's pretty slick the way he tries to sway his opinion and down play shilling calling for Hillary a white woman, to be dead. Lmao, DP is a Jedi master. Listen to the way he speaks delicately. Jemele isn't bringing her opinion to sport center. But, ESPN, your in the spot light. And curt shilling basically called for Hillary to be dead. He's one slick cat. And all you saw and heard were good points. So good for you. You win the "I only want to see the truth that I like, poopy award!!!!!

[@rvb6636]

Blaqnostic he's a blowhard Scumbag who gets millions for being a white supremacists..

[@richardp.3421]

closet racist

[@aristotle736]

Jamel’s Hill is what ESPN considers worthy on air talent these days. She and I exchanged a few emails about the state of the NFL a few years ago.Her understanding of what the NFL has become was utterly superficial. It’s no shock that many highly talented people have left ESPN or no longer come on as contributors.

[@earlcampbell8927]

This whole issue is unbelievably simple. Michael Jordan said "Republicans buy shoes too," and he declined to get political. If espn wants the 63 million viewers who voted for Trump, they should talk about sports. By the way, I watch very little espn for a different reason: TNT does the NBA better, MLB Network does baseball better, NFL Network does fantasy football better... Are you sensing a theme?

[@MedicatedReviewer]

earl campbell I'll be boycotting NFL, and NBA outside of Barkley. Even my favorite player Reggie Miller is caught up in this. I can't think of another phrase than, "Reverse racism". Claim someone else is racist when the reality is it's them

[@dabearcub]

Your white boy days are over.

[@dabearcub]

@@MedicatedReviewer They don’t care lol

[@nymike06]

Boycott ESPN. Hill needs to be fired.

[@JoeRyMi]

I don't want her disciplined at all, but the double standard is undeniable.

[@jeffw1267]

I'm conservative but I don't think the solution is to simply fire her. What's gained from that? This happens on both sides every day. "I don't like what he/she said, so FIRE him/her". If we all got fired for one misstep on the job, most of us would be standing in soup lines. And Hill's tweet wasn't even ON the job. I disagree with her completely but let's be fair.

[@kscipkkkk]

Her job places her in the public light, and since she works for the dipshits at ESPN on air, her comments if not condemned by management are considered OK. This means that the management of ESPN also believes Trump is a White Supremecist. Poor ESPN once such a great institution, now in the gutter with CNN.

[@Sequel7]

ESPN is not politics, they shouldnt be talking about the government, do you understand journalists in other countries get killed for talking about their government?

[@peytonmiller9620]

Here's the problem with "put them in a museum". Once they get in the museum, 5-10 years down the road,or sooner, someone is gonna decide the the "Museum" is racist and offends them at that needs to be removed. If I thought removing statues or putting them in a museum would help race relations, than I would say let's get it done, do it and let's move forward. But I can't see that being the end of it!!

[@Redmenace96]

Off topic, but great YT comment. Thanks!

Dan is a thinking person of logic, perspective and common sense. A shrinking breed in today's world.

[@ParisVan-Del]

[@melvinmarshall2736]

Dan needs to do better than this clip suggests, sorry! There is nothing logical about his platitudes. Nothing. We are living with a white supremacist as president, do you have any idea how that disturbs nonwhite Americans? He is unqualified & unfit for the office. He is a pathological liar. This is a damned shame & I am sure that the Mueller investigarion will yield reasons to begin impeachment proceedings. We have to do better as a nation.

[@qualinteranzy7948]

Curt shilling was warned over and over not tonsay crazy shit and he kept going after his first offense espn didnt punish him this is her first offense so espn did the right thing and curt shilling didnt listen to his bosses so he got fired and deserviling so

[@2121212147]

Melvin Marshall. When did he become Racist? This was never said years ago...... Your absolutely crazy to think that. I want 5 examples now. Ready go......

[@hippiegirl58]

David- don't you know that RACIST is the buzz word of today? Everyone is assumed to be a racist. It is so easy to label everyone. Racists are ignorant and vile people. Period. I am a democrat who is sick of people using the race card at every turn. How about we start focusing on the victimizing of blacks by other blacks. The random savagery/ murders of young blacks against other young blacks and whites. Colin Flaherty's youtube page posts local news stories of this savagery that mainstream media will not broadcast. Racism is ignorance, yes. We have taken our eye off what it is truly happening to innocent people of all colors. There is no racism narrative with black on black murders and victimization of innocents so media doesn't care.

[@wjlintz]

I never liked her - even less so now - because it felt like getting sports opinion from a chipmunk.

[@jvjustvibes9103]

This is why I like Dan Patrick he's calm he's well-thought-out he's precise with the things he says and he makes a lot of sense I totally agree with him here there has to be some limits imposed on people expressing their political views on a sports and entertainment television show

[@hahaclintondix2815]

I miss the days when I could just watch sports without having a left wing political agenda shoved down my throat.

[@phays10]

[@juve96]

Curt Schilling went out against a whole group of people with his retweet, she called out one person for his behaviour, how the hell is that the same?

[@KO-OG-Passport-Bro-1997]

Funny how people forget to mention Shilling was warned like 3 fucking times already before something happened! This is her first time!!!! People need to state the fucking facts!! REPLY

[@juve96]

Trump also called Obama a racist on twitter when he had a Network show (The Apprentice) did any of these morons call for him to be fired or for his show to be dropped?

[@nahidahmed1209]

Oberyn Martell dude Schilling called muslims extremists. Whereas Trump was endorsed by white supremacist groups and he did not denounce them and his actions after the incident in cherlottesville supports her views. Therefore its not an accusation but its a fact. He was fired for anti-transgender posts and going against the rights of inviduals its not fucking same.

[@b4mantruthbetold171]

Americans are so arrogant and ignorant to real facts. When you surround yourself with those people, it is not hard to figure, you are like these people. There is not enough words in any language to explain it contrary. If you persist to do so, you are what he is. Case closed.

[@letsgetit7323]

I want her fired immediately if not sooner. ESPN has no place in politics as does no other sports outlet. If we wanted to know your opinion we would ask you. If ESPN continues this divisive dialog they will all be unemployed.

thank you Dan for telling the truth

[@bigshawn1972]

Darryl henry , truth? Why was Kurt Shilling fired again? Oh, right! Something about wanting someone dead on the air! What did Jemel do? Oh, right, she tweeted an accurate characterization of the guy that's known for saying and tweeting racist shit! Fuck you, there's some truth for you.

[@darrylhenry3188]

Mr. Lion you don't get my point or Dan's point he's talking about she's telling the truth which I mean I don't disagree with jemel hill but you can't separate the two.

[@Closeoutracer]

There were tons of different actors at Charlottesvile .. violent left.. violent right.. middle peaceful left... middle peaceful right.. Trump never condoned violence, nor did he voice approval of extremist nuts on either side. Patrick did not tell the truth on that. ESPN has moved hard left and they only fire conservative voices .. Dan didn't tell the truth on that either.

[@melvinmarshall2736]

dan told no truth.

[@Borderlinepsycotic]

Darryl henry ..... you're a moron and so is he. Kurt Schilling was a racist and got fired for being a racist... So now you think miss hill should be fired for calling a racist a racist....? You stupid ass.... lol.

[@JDR501]

If ESPN were smart they would have their employees sign a contract not to participate in social media unless it is directly related to sports. Regardless, this has set a double standard.

[@donsolos]

curt was a repeat offender, no double standard here

[@jkhdfkjashdfk]

Don Solo So is Hill

[@brandondaniels9471]

That's kinda ridiculous. The majority of their target market is on social media. And, social media can be used to generate interest/ad revenue for their sports networks in general. We probably agree that the problem is that they seem to censor one particular political point of view (e.g., right-wing), while they strictly promote another political point of view (e.g., progressivism). I don't mind hearing about politics in sports, but I feel that these sports networks should make effort to fairly represent both sides of these debates instead of just automatically, blindly labelling anyone who disagrees with them: racist/sexist/bigoted/etc. They really don't allow for healthy debates on these political topics.

[@pkfreeze175]

She was suspended back in 2008 and wrote an apology to the people of Kentucky in 2009. She also brought up controversy in agreement of someone stating that police are slave patrols. This is not her first time in controversy.

[@americangiant1003]

Well said both Freeze and Dan Patrick. It would be in ESPN and even all of their other competing sports cable channels such as Fox Sports, NBC Sports Net and CBS Sports Channel best business interest for all their Hosts/Anchors and reporters who are not COMMENTATORS i.e Not Stephen A, Skip, Colin etc.(I am not fan of most of those daytime sportstalk shows either but that for another chat)to not publicly state their views on non-sports news topics on any social media sites. If anyone cares, Hill started her ESPN career I think as a writer/columnist and was a regular panelist/commentator on Sports Reporters, etc. I don't like Trump either but last time I checked Hill is not a Political Commentator but now a ESPN Anchor. Granted it was not on SC6 but on a twitter account and she is entitled to her views. Another example of how Trump's horrible reactions to the Charlottesville crisis that helps to continue view that many especially in the Black/Latino community Trump is at least a bigot. With that said, I never was thrilled either that even during the 2016 elections that even so called newspeople like Tom Brokaw, Megan Kelly and others had a public feud with Trump either. Thus reason many in the American public now dislikes most in the media biz both in news and even in sports journalism.My guess is Hill will get a suspension but not fired right away. And that all On air ESPN staff will be warned to avoid making any further comments on Trump. Just my takes.

[@mugrad1988]

I don't watch sports talk shows because I don't require their opinion on any topic. ESPN is too slanted towards pro sports anyway. I refuse to cheer for people making at least 6 figures if not more.

THOSE are offenses that would...and should...get you taken off the job at ESPN. But now what this woman did.

[@timrooney5608]

I am so happy Dan brought up this topic. 100% ESPN has a double standard. I will say also ESPN recognizes she has a lot of talent and they are going to protect her. It is possible that Shilling wasn't viewed as a talent worth protecting and let him go, used what he said as a reason for his termination. His talent level was not worth the headache. That being said that isn't being racist, that is running a business. I think the same can be said about Kapernick, his talent level is not worth the headache.

[@donsolos]

2 minutes on google tells me curt was a repeat offender and thats why he got canned. not about a double standard. do a little research next time. like maybe why curt got fired before you compare the 2

[@Dominion-1]

Dan is being disingenuous when he says: “They (ESPN) discipline Linda Cohn for doing this ...” as in the same thing that Jemele Hill said. Linda Cohn basically said: “...ESPN had lost some of its base by becoming too political…” Now ESPN did not want employees voicing their POV in the day-to-day business side of things and to avoid publicly speculating on its business decisions, so she was discipline for one day. But Curt Schilling threaten Hillary Clinton by saying " She should be buried under a jail somewhere." That is why Curt was fired. * It’s interesting Dan calls out "Al Sharpton" by saying he would boycott ESPN but DOES NOT call out "David Duke" but only says “ ...We disapprove what happen there (Charlottesville, Virginia)".

[@Dominion-1]

As the official start of the “Unite the Right” rally kicked off in Charlottesville, Virginia, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke said: "The gathering of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and far-right individuals pointed to a future fulfillment of President Donald Trump’s “promises.”

[@melvinmarshall2736]

[@melvinmarshall2736]

henryjw15 Trump has surrounded himself with people who sympathize with the principles of white supremacy. His chief strategist Steve Bannon is a proud card-carrying white supremacist, white nationalist, neo-Nazi (he says so!) so the idea that anyone is being dishonest by calling Trump a white supremacist is simply not supporting the facts. The other thing too about Trump is that he is a pathological liar. This man never tells the truth about anything. The latest example is he is currently supporting the list Cassidy-Graham bill to end Obamacare & Trump says that this new bill supports pre-existing conditions, another lie. It baffles me how u can support such a despicable person. Obama would have never been elected has he said that he wanted to "grab'em by the pussy" are u going to defend that?????

[@henryjw15]

Melvin Marshall steve bannon a neo nazi, white supremacists? You do know beirtbart is a Jewish publication. The deal with ACA, president is notoriously known for lieing about ACA. Grab them by the pussy tape. Did you even listen to it? He Cleary states they let them do anything before he says that line.

[@melvinmarshall2736]

henryjw15 Ok u are a Trump/Bannon sympathizer I understand now. David Duke is a Trump supporter & he recently said Trump is an ally for all that he stands for which by definition means that he is against all that I stand for. There simply is no middle ground when u are dealing with the David Duke types of the world. My suggestion to u is that u go to find some black friends bc I guarantee u that they will not think the way that u do. That is the best advice that I can give to find some cool black friends & have these discussions with them. You make irrational excuses for Trump's bad behavior & that is unfortunate. Behavior that we never would have tolerated from Obama & that is not right which is called a double standard & it is also called white privilege by definition.

[@Slim-ym9jy]

If she didn't say it on air at her job then she shouldn't get fired.

I've personally never been a fan of Hill, but to compare what she did to Schillings is pretty dramatic. Curt had multiple strikes at that point and that's why he got canned.

[@prav777]

I just can't understand what was wrong with what Trump said about Charlottesville. Here was a group, with as detestable an ideology they profess, took out a permit to protest. Whether one likes it no, it's a constitutional right. Antifa and BLM (detestable in their own right) show up and it quickly escalates into violence. Now the question is not so much whose ideology is better, when asked about the violence Trump simply stated the fact that there was fault on both sides. Which is a FACT. What the demand seems to be, that one should blanket condemn one side and excuse the other side regardless of the violence perpetrated by both. When the ideologies of all the groups involved are reprehensible and fucked up, who cares if one is "perceived" as more nobler than the other.....they all stink

[@ketoe8560]

Dan missed the whole element when he compared Hill to Curt S. Curt was not fired for the Hillary should be dead statement, he was fired because the statement came after several warnings and other issues he had discussions with at the station, his firing was not from a one time incident, Dan knows this but never stated it during his rant because he understands it would offset his position. Curt also made statements on the air, another point Dan refused to remind his audience during his rant because once again it would offset his argument. Dan, in typical "white america" fashion wants to set the table as a black woman is getting away with something a white man did not, when he knows that truth is far from that. ESPN suggested to Curt on more than two occasions (as reported) to calm his act down, he did not and he was canned when it was determined he went to far over the line and refused to re-direct his comments from politics. Dan knows all of this, but if he mentions any of this those fans will feel differently and therefore speaking the entire truth would harm his position, so he feeds his fans soup. Typical, Jemele is a black woman who spoke her political view outside of her workspace, Curt did the opposite and Dan simply wants to avenge Curt firing by forging the facts to prove his points.

[@braddvaughn6076]

DAN actually thinks and is being rational here! PROBABLY WHY HE NO LONGER WORKS AT THE MOTHERSHIP!

[@issakleonard1]

So... Curt Schilling was disciplined for his B.S. a few times before the got rid of him. It's not a slippery slope. They asked her to chill, if she does then fine.

[@lw1343]

Odd...Jessie Jackson awarded Trump an award for helping the black community. A racists gets an award for helping blacks??

[@mashburn29]

As usually someone who has white privilege telling someone black how to act when are they gonna get some common sense 🤦‍♂️

[@ivanho34]

Thank you Dan for keeping politics OUT of sports! In my opinion what makes sports great is that it's an escape from all the worlds screwed up issues, it's a place for people of all political beliefs to come together and root for the same team. You and your team are correct that ESPN has put them selves in a very bad situation where they're now cornered into either doing nothing and making it look like their ok with what she did even though they have fired, suspended and who knows what other talkings they have given other on air talent that we do not know about. Or they discipline her and piss off the other side of the political world. I honestly don't think fans of ESPN would really care one way or the other in the end as long as they're consistent.

[@sillygoose635]

This goes for you too, keep your politics out of sports too.

[@prometheusall6804]

Good commentary dan. . . . . .well said

[@richardalvarado-ik9br]

And here we are in September 2020 4 months after George Floyd........and I challenge anybody today to say she was wrong then and now!!! 3 years after Charlottesville, one year after the Walmart El Paso TX shooting and 2 yrs after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, and BTW his recent tweet and executive order to rescind the Obama era fair housing act and saying those Black and Brown riff raff people won't bring down property values. NO SHE WASN'T RIGHT SHE WAS TOO DAMM RIGHT ACTUALLY!!

[@melostreetvybztv6328]

What ppl should be that last to talk about double standard and being bias.

[@LuckyP0108]

YOUR APART OF THE PROBLEM!!! injustic should and WILL not be ignored. Equality and Liberty ✊🏿

[@bradlafferty6076]

Off to the VICE channel

[@madboyreadynow28]

Not everyone is the same. She chose to speak out knowing she would get this backlash and knowing she could lose her job and I am suspecting she may want out at ESPN. Things can't be all that great at ESPN right now.

[@tgerome135]

Great to see the frames Pearl Jam VS. album above Seton at 4:29.

[@toagentking6521]

That's one of the most ridiculous comparisons. What did Jemele Hill said that was wrong? All she said was facts. Are you fucking kidding me

[@Nolactc1]

He just said he doesn't want sports and politics to mix. But here he is talking about what J. Hill said. Smh. Honor your own code.

[@jasonsellers8008]

Alway been a fan of Mr. Patrick. Honest as he can be as a man in his position. ESPN has dropped the ball many times when it comes to standing behind their employees and their views. That's why they go to fs1

[@gjstanford3982]

GO DAN!!! ADIOS JAMIL!!! SPORTS ONLY...

[@ewallacestudent1]

It's not about what he is costing NFL owners, Colon is representing the "New Elites" Think about motives, they want to tear down monuments and get blacks fighting whites. But who would want that? Why can't anyone see the Elites want them down, the statues were Elites who by their wealth felt they should be allowed the liberty to own people. The Elites will rise again when people forget, globalization and depopulation is the plan. There will only be two sets of people, not race driven, The Elites wealthy and powerful and the worker slaves to the Elites. It's about Genocide of white middle class and black middle class, anyone who will fight them. The rich just want to buy their proper place in the New World Order.

[@duaneclarke9891]

I think Dan Patrick broke It down for us. I do t blame J. Hill. This is all ESPN. Duck Sarah Huckabee Sanders. But to keep things fair and consistent, she should have been suspended like L. Co. and Schilling

[@danielh.2649]

you dont understand because your not affected by it. ignorance is bliss

[@USA96651]

You got it Dan!...double standard is right. Be happy you are away from that cancer ESPN. Let them stick with their "6" and NBA 24/7

[@victory6949]

Everyone is pc ,unless they are black. Then they can say anything and keep their job.

[@kevinodom2918]

I quit watching most espn shows but I can no longer watch any. All the politics on espn, etc has literally ruined sports, all my sports shows and especially nfl for me. I never thought that day would come but it's been great. I now spend more time outdoors and with my family.

[@btrue1030]

People are always going to HATE the TRUTH! She spoke the TRUTH! HATERS!

[@bradlafferty6076]

Voter Fraud Biden lover right here

[@theholodomorisnttaughtinam2796]

They disciplined (suspended) Linda Cohn for saying "ESPN got too political". The fact that they discipline (with a tweet) Hill the way they did shows the political bias there that everyone talks about.

[@donsolos]

1 is a direct comment to the company she works for and another is just a political opinion.... not the same thing

[@theholodomorisnttaughtinam2796]

Don Solo pretty sure going after a president you don't like the way she did is a big deal

[@cwillie1492]

Curt was warned multiple times. He ignored it.

[@userjim83]

So was she... she got suspended at least twice before for saying ridiculously offensive and divisive things

[@MrMikeexley]

Its the unfortunate fallacy that we all have, that everyone needs to hear ‘my opinion’.

[@thebrucechannel8061]

It's too bad ESPN is going right down the tubes, they've provided some great sports coverage over the years but now they've turned ultra political, the same way Dave Letterman's show did. I tune into ESPN for sports highlights only, I don't need to hear someone's radical political or social thoughts.

[@americangiant1003]

I will say this. Unless you were a regular viewer of Sportscenter or the ESPN daytime talk shows, until this controversy Hill was not exactly a household name in America. Even if ESPN did fire her, she would get another job in a minute i.e on another News or Sports Cable Channel Hello CNN and MSNBC/NBC Sports Net.

[@birdmangorilla100]

What does Rush do??? I'm confused on how his comments could ever be considered explainable or okay.

[@johndoiron9615]

Dan, I appreciate your measured response, and your desire to keep with what your audience is looking for when they listen to you.

[@512Terrance]

I respect his overall point of view

[@kadams6242]

Why do people keep bring Curt Schilling because it's up, it's a totally different situation they fail to bring up the fact that Schilling was warned repeatedly not once not twice repeatedly to stop, it's strange how they leave that part out.

[@southernman5839]

Why not leave the statues where it is . There's no sense in spending money to move them. If you don't like the statue's don't look at them. What's the problem? The majority wants to keep them but they won't give us a vote. Do you think that's fair? Only the few that wants them down seem to get the choice. I guess that's the democrat's way but I don't forget. I will remember at voting time.

[@CMRinehart]

Linda Cohn made her bosses mad with the truth. Bottom line. Hill said a lot more than Cohn. A lot.

[@kevinqueen6246]

ESPN fired Rush Limbaugh! Should do the same to JH. Schilling is a republican. We don't watch ESPN anymore, don't know anyone who does! There is nothing to see or hear over there. Opinions are bland and programming is lousy. Dan Lebatard is about the only thing going well over there and that's a lost cause! Great show Dan! Always loved you. Don't always agree but you're still the man!

[@richardfox1788]

Keep politics out of the sports world. We get enough of the politic crap in other venues, no need. Curt got fired, why shouldn't she. A double standard in play here?

[@TheRaidermarkie101]

What do you expect him to do? Bad mouth his employers!! ? Has to please his bosses!!
