From a business standpoint, firing Hill would be an obvious solution. But Iger, who is believed to harbor 2020 presidential aspirations, could risk upsetting the left.
ESPN suspended Hill on Monday after she violated the company’s social media guidelines for the second time in less than a month. First she called President Trump a “white supremacist” and claimed if he “were not white, he never would have been elected.” But it took Hill potentially impacting the network’s bottom line with Twitter rhetoric to be punished.
In the second instance Sunday, she took to Twitter and encouraged fans who weren't happy with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ policy that his players must stand for the national anthem to boycott the team’s advertisers.

Simple solution: Fire Disney and its subsidiaries ABC and ESPN from your life.
I have no idea how someone like Hill ever got a mike and on camera on a sports network? But she is an enormous liability to her employer; she should be unemployed. ASAP!
Nothing but a evil cancer full of racist hate.
Fire her!!
Just like the NFL, scared to discipline a black person.
She should be let go because of bad ratings before anything else. Her show cannot be watched it's so bad. The first time I saw it she did a shout out to her girl Beyonce. What the hell does that have to do with sports? And what the hell is a shout out? God I'm old.
Bob Iger wants to be president. Trying to be a liberal hero. He is being destroyed by his own people. I hate that Disney now owns Marvel, and their books are suffering, but their movies are awesome.
DC comics is beating them for the first time in years, but they haven't found their niche in the movie franchise. Hopefully, with the success of Wonder Women, things will get better. I don't know the politics of Warner Bros., and they may be no better than Disney's, but in fairness, WB seems to be more in the middle rather than the far left at Disney.
