Sportscaster

The Resume

    (December 21, 1975- )
    Born in Detroit, Michigan
    Sports columnist for ESPN.com
    Appeared on ESPN/ESPN 2 programs such as 'First Take,' 'Around The Horn' and 'Jim Rome Is Burning'

Why she might be annoying:

    One of the most frequent Google searches for her is 'Jemele Hill racist.'
    ESPN suspended her for writing that 'cheering for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim.'
    Many sports fans feel her opinions are misinformed, or, just downright wrong.
    Although a sports columnist, she wrote a column in support of the government's automobile industry bailout (November 24, 2008).
    She issued an apology to the University of Kentucky after insinuating UK fans would be happy with Charles Manson as a head coach (a knock on John Calipari).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She graduated Michigan State University with a journalism degree.
    In a 2006 Associated Press survey of 305 newspapers, she was the lone African American female sports columnist.
    A good deal of the criticism against her is based on her race and her gender.
    She frequently debated sports topics with the obnoxious Skip Bayless without reaching across the table and slapping him in the face.
    She went against the opinion of many women and supported Tim Tebow's choice to appear in an anti-abortion Super Bowl ad.
