OT: Jemele Hill to write memoir

[Lion8286]

Am sure this will be flying off the bookshelves so you may want to pre-order. . .


Jemele Hill, journalist and former ESPN host, has a book deal

Jemele Hill, the ESPN host who departed the sports network a year after tweeting that President Donald Trump was a white supremacist, has a book deal.

Hill’s memoir will be published in 2021, Henry Holt and Company announced Tuesday. The book, Hill’s first, is currently untitled.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to stretch myself and grow,” Hill said in a statement issued through her publisher. “I hope that by sharing some very personal experiences in this memoir – things I’ve never shared publicly before – people will have a better understanding of who I am. I also hope by sharing my story, people realize their circumstances don’t have to dictate their capabilities or contributions.”

Straight to the remainder bin.

You should have to read a book before you can write one.

Well, it’s says book deal so one assumes the publisher will actually pay to have it printed. What a bad idea. But for now, I’ll assume four things:
1 I’ll never read it, or see it
2 it’ll be terrible
3 most copies sold (perhaps 100, all acquired by friends, family and business contacts) will be electronic copies
4 this “book” won’t differ from nearly everything else she’s published, advocacy pieces more about her than their subject matter

Good luck Jemele

No matter what your circumstances are, you too can be a no-talent, unprofessional hack!

Will most assuredly be titled: When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong

 

[ralphster]

How do you write a memoir at age 43? I thought you did that at a ripe old age? Am I wrong?

 

[razpsu]

Wonder if it will sell better than jim Acosta’s book. Lol

 

[sluggo72]

how come no one has thrown a flag?

Hilarious. The only thing funnier would be a collage of the people dumb enough to buy it, which won't be many. I would think that group of possible buyers would be a subset of those honored at peopleofwalmart.com.

 

[rmem]

There is no foul on the play.

 

[Elwood Blues]

I predict this will sell as many copies as my memoir...which I do not intend to write.

This reminds me ... I must admit that ESPN has been far less PC / preachy in the past year or two. It's still annoying in other ways (phony, staged arguments; repetitive coverage; Kardashian-show-like focus on gossipy stuff; Stephen A yelling at me, SEC worship, weak radio hosts, etc), but I don't hear them mixing sports and politics like they did during the Jamele era.

Right before one dies.

Call me an optimist.

<Lavar voice> Who's Jemele Hill?

 

[retsio]

She is definitely not a 'B', she is a 'C' and her book will be only one page -- that's all she got !

 

[83wuzme]

Maybe the police could use copies of the book for ballistics testing liked they used to use Barbara Walters interviews in The Naked Gun.

Yes, this is like declining the delay of game, so the opponent doesn't have a better angle for the field goal.

My knowledge of ESPN programming (other than PSU FB games) ceased in November of 2011.
As an added bonus, I'll never have to listen to the "worst human being" Keith Olbermann.

If she isn’t the definition of the B word who is

You are off by one letter.

 

[Nittany Ziggy]

Paul Silvis probably has her on speed dial.

It would be interesting to see who that guy has on his speed dial list.

Pompous and like many of them, she thinks she is the show. Maybe that’s right when it’s nothing but talk with, for me, little information.

And it is a non-reviewable call.

So other than al that stuff, it is good? Only problem, I am not awake on a Sunday mornings from 3 to 3:15

Has there been any issues worth covering? It's mostly NFL related stuff because of Kap's protest, and since the 'settlement' there isn't much to talk about (I did read that Eric Reid planned to continue to kneel). Did the news of the man hospitalizing a teenager at a County Fair for not removing his hat during the National Anthem get any coverage there?

SUPERIOR — A man is accused of assaulting a teenage boy during the National Anthem at the Mineral County Fairgrounds this weekend.

Witnesses told deputies the suspect grabbed, picked up and slammed the boy on the ground -- apparently because he did not remove his hat during the National Anthem.

Within minutes after dropping her son off at the fairgrounds, Megan Keeler says she received a phone call stating her son was on his way to the hospital.

“Dude come up and grabbed him by his neck, picked him up and threw him to the ground head first," Keeler told MTN News.

The suspect, Curt Brockway, is accused of assaulting the 13-year-old.

Witnesses say Brockway tried to justify his actions because the boy was disrespecting the flag by not removing his hat during the National Anthem.

“He’s deathly afraid of strangers. He doesn’t remember anything. All the witnesses I have talked to said this was completely random," Keeler said.

"There was no exchange – nothing! He targeted Wally and took him down," she added.

The boy was flown to Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital in Spokane after receiving temporal skull fractures.

Keeler says the child was bleeding from his ear for nearly six hours after the incident.

He's since been released from the hospital and is back home where he will continue healing.

Brockway arrested and made his initial court appearance on Monday in Mineral County.

“I want to know Curt is put away and I would like compensation for the damages and bills," Keeler said. "But most of all, my son to heals.”

The state requested that Brockway's bond be set to $100,000, but a judge ruled that Brockway can be released on his own recognizance.

This is not Brockway’s first run in with police. MTN News obtained court documents from a 2010 incident where he plead guilty to an assault with a weapon charge.

In that 2010 incident, Brockway pulled up to a parked vehicle, got out and pulled a gun on a family and stated he was going to kill them.

Brockway's friend persuaded him to put away his weapon and leave.

He was sentenced to 10 years with the Montana Department of Corrections, all of which were suspended.

So a RACIST gets to put her viewpoints into print after labeling a non-racist a racist.

Only in America.
