Sportscaster Jemele Hill, reprimanded last month by ESPN for racially charged remarks about President Donald Trump, was suspended by the network after calling on fans to boycott sponsors of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
The sports TV personality was suspended for two weeks for her “second violation of our social media guidelines,” ESPN, owned by Walt Disney Co., said in a statement Monday that was posted on Twitter.
