For those who don't know, Jemele Hill is a horrible sports journalist. I once watched her host Jim Rome's show and thought to myself, "A high-school kid could do a better job." She's attacking the Celtics in her latest ESPN Page 2 column...but here's a line sure to piss some people off:
Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It's like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan.
Amazingly, that line made it past the editors at ESPN.com (Journalism 101 - Rule 1.1 - Never reference Hitler). As Deadspin so deftly points out, someone finally had the smarts to take it down. For me, that's not good enough. Let's email ESPN and demand Hill be fired for the simple reason that we shouldn't be exposed to her garbage any longer.
Thanks to Matt for alerting us to the article...and Deadspin for taking it one step further.
