ESPN Apologizes For Brett Favre 'Duracell' Remark

ESPN issued a statement regarding comments by writer Jemele Hill after she encouraged Green Bay Packers fans to find an alternative use for the batteries that go dead in their remotes between now and the Nov. 1 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field. Hill suggested that fans use those batters to greet Brett Favre when he returns to the place he called home for 16 seasons. “Listen to me, OK,†Hill said while appearing on ESPN’s “First Take’’ on Wednesday. “If you have a shred of pride, you will give Brett Favre the Duracell treatment when he comes to Lambeau Field.†Asked what “Duracell treatment†meant, Hill replied, “Batteries. Batteries.â€

lol, that's funny, but also pretty hecked up... batteries freaking hurt! Pretty professional Jemele Hill.

 

What a dipcrap. She gonna be fired?

 

Classy.

 

Batteries flying from the upper deck and someones getting seriously hurt....and it wont be Favre with a helmet on. Baby should be canned immediately for even saying it....and I dont care if and when she apologizes.

 

Freaking idiot...

 

Should be quietly let go by ESPN. This is not "The Black Hole" we are talking about.

 

How could they seriously keep anyone after saying that? Worldwide leader? We'll see....

 

It will be buried by the morning.

 

wow this snitch can kiss her career goodbye and she should pray everynight that someone does not get killed or seriously hurt by a flying battery at that game

 

this^^^^^^^^ x10.

 

I'm sure Philadelphia is to blame somewhere in here...

 

lol that does seem like a really philly type thing to do

 

They throw Phillies Schedule magnets more often...

 

Waiting for morning to see if she still has her job.

 

the would cause havoc with all the women in cheese country :icon_cheesygrin:

 

Bad idea all around.
