Former ESPN personality Jemele Hill criticized Aaron Rodgers for his recent comments on Phaninc"The Pat McAfee Show"regarding Jimmy Kimmel and COVID-19, arguing it contradicts the reasoning behind her departure from the company.

Hill worked for the sports media company from 2006-18 in various roles, including an anchor of "SportsCenter." In September 2017, Hill called Trump a "white supremacist" in a series of tweets, which ESPN said Hill's views "do not represent the position of ESPN." She was suspended a month later after calling for a boycott of Dallas Cowboys advertisers after owner Jerry Jones said he’d bench players who knelt during the anthem, and left the company the following year.

Speaking on CNN Tuesday, Hill took issue with Rodgers saying the backlash he has received from his comments about Kimmel and Jeffrey Epstein's list of associates is "the game plan of the media, and this is what they do. They try and cancel." She said Rodgers' appearances on McAfee's show is viewed differently than the statements she made while she was employed by ESPN.

"Every week when you see Aaron Rodgers on Pat McAfee's shows, it's like you're watching Newsmax," Hill said. "I'm just trying to figure out where's all of this going? The network is so funny because they spent a lot of time trying to remove themselves from being considered to be political because they were accused mostly by right wing conservatives of being too political or being too liberal, and now they seem to kind of embrace and run in a different direction."

Hill also said being on the show is proof Rodgers isn't getting canceled.

"What really is annoying is that he's on a weekly mainstream media platform, complaining about the mainstream media censoring him," she added. "sir, you're not silenced. It's just that people think a lot of the things that come out of your mouth are stupid."

Hill also commented about Rodgers on social media in reference to the show she had with ESPN.

"The Pat McAfee show with Aaron Rodgers is what conservatives thought the SC6 was," she posted.
