But Gina Carano being fired from The Mandolorian for comparing anyone who criticizes conservatives to Nazi collaborators is, however, cancel culture run wild

Just trying to keep up

Yeah, she was never fired by ESPN. But good try and everything.

She was "suspended" and eventually got moved around to a different position. But she was retained by ESPN.

Gina was 100% fired from Disney.

You're framing this as an inconsistency, but it's pretty simple: they are okay when liberals and left-wingers are punished, and upset when conservatives and right wingers are.

herr and michael smith got banished because SC6 was a trainwreck of a sportscenter that they tanked in ratings and espn had to scramble to boot them off to other projects because of how terrible they were.

jemele dug her own grave, unfortunately actual talent in Michael smith paid for it by hitching his wagon with her.

also hill writes for the Undefeated. Which is espn owned and affiliated. She still works for espn

bro, you don't have to give me the recap on the backlash MAGAs had to a black themed sportscenter. We all watched it happen in real time.

If Jemele "dug her own grave" didn't Gina?

I didnt know Hill still contributed to the undefeated. when was her last article there?

She wasn't fired and the tweet that got her suspended for a few weeks was calling to boycott an nfl team.

Suspended, exiled and then "parted ways" with ESPN. that's how people get fired in that world. And again, how is her being cancelled for her political beliefs ok, but Gina being let go is tantamount to 1930s style censorship?

Nah, people who get fired actually get let go, see rob parker. In any case a more apt comparison would be her suspension for making a hitler reference a decade earlier. Back then there was similar to now, also some controversy since apparently Lou Holtz did the same thing and didn't get reprimanded.
I don't think either what Jamele said then or Gina said now were worthy of anyone losing their shit over.

She was never fired. She made the tweets, ESPN suspended her, her suspension ended and the sportscenter she hosted with Michael Smith wasnt doing well in the ratings they moved her online, then she left for the athletic.

The reason why everyone thinks shes a bad journalist is because she calls out racism where she believes she sees it. White dudes online think "THERES NO RACISM IN SPORTS/KEEP POLITICS OUT OF SPORTS/ALWAYS PLAYING THE RACE CARD" reeeee'd out and they get all offended.

Do i agree with all her takes? No, but shes not a bad writer.

They didnt fire her, they just....suspended her, removed her from sportscenter, essentially exiled her and Micheal Smith and bought her out of her contract all the while, the new ESPN president making it clear they were avoiding politics...but they didnt "fire" her.

She left like a year or two later. If ESPN was letting anyone go for politics why not Bomani Jones or Pablo Torres? Hell, Stephen A Smith talks about race in the NBA hiring process more than anyone, or what about all the women on Around the Horn who talk about gender politics in sports all the time.

she left a year later (with 3 or 4 years left on her contract), which would make sense, given negotiations I'm sure had to take place

Bomani and Pablo, while excellent on race, have made it clear they ain't here to be fire starters. Bomani will be the first person to tell you that.

Steven A Smith gets to be vocal on race because he's literal Steven A Smith
