    She's going to work for The Undefeated as a writer. It's a little tough to believe she left a big job as and anchor of her own show by her own choice, but that's what she's saying happened.

    I try to watch The Six from time to time, her energy seemed really low. I remember her and Micheal had more fun when they weren't in the prime time spot. I believe her when she says it was her choice; she really didn't look like she was having fun anymore.

    The Six was supposed to be a different show. It started off like that, then settled into the regular ESPN SportsCenter stuff.

    Yep. I watch it from time to time, Michael is the same but she's become more superserious. Probably because she's got a lot to say that she can't really say on that show I would imagine.

    Yep. When they were on His and Her's, they could pretty much say and do whatever they wanted (from a black perspective) because it was mid afternoon. It does feel like she is biting her tongue now since she already has 2 strikes.

    I will miss their skits and parodies.

    Almost definitely stems from some beef back in September:

    President Donald Trump tweeted this: "ESPN is paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming). People are dumping it in RECORD numbers. Apologize for untruth!" He was referring to comments made on Twitter earlier in the week by ESPN anchor Jemele Hill in which she labeled the President as -- among other things -- a "white supremacist." Hill later apologized for airing her views publicly -- and ESPN accepted that apology.

    She was ****. Always brought non sports related topics into it.

    Good riddance.

    100% her choice. Less social media trolls. It takes a toll.

    I feel like ESPN is shooting their own feet.

    Break up Mike and Mike, stupid.
    Ruin His and Hers for Sportscenter, really.
    The SVP show is pretty much worthless
    And they let First Take fall apart.

    I mean, 3 of those were there top scorers. I don't know what they are thinking. Whatever they thought they were going for, they missed.

    Jeff "huge dick" Van Gundy

    I haven't watched Sportscenter in probably 6 years.

    Couldn't even tell you who anchors other than Van Pelt.

    Man, I remember the 90's and 00's when you watched it nightly. Funny how things progress

    Politics aside that "his and hers" show was so bad. The few times they did talk sports I basically disagreed with everything they said

    She was a race baiter. Good riddance. Go to CNN if you want to race bait instead of talk sports on a sports channel.
