Breitbart Sports: ESPN is set to lay off another 100 employees after the Thanksgiving holiday, according to reports.

ESPN’s SportsCenter has been at the center of controversy in recent months after on-air host Jemele Hill repeated violations of the network’s social media policy, in one case calling President Donald Trump a “white supremacist.” After a second violation, where Hill essentially called for a boycott of her employer’s own advertisers, ESPN brought down a two-week suspension upon the host.

I hear that ESPN has hired Hillary to advise them on “What Happened.”
