You simply can’t have an opinion anymore .
Evertually anyone that is controversial is going to get fired .
Almost impossible to have a 30 year career on live tv or radio without saying something like this at least once .
People like rush Limbaugh better be real careful how he covers this story .

Basketball Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said on Friday blackface comments made by NBC host Megyn Kelly this week were "hate crime-adjacent."
Abdul-Jabbar, who won six NBA championships during a 20-year career with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, wrote a column for the Hollywood Reporter stating Kelly should be fired for the remarks:
"In Megyn Kelly's case, it would be difficult to sustain an argument that she was ignorant of the blackface controversy. We've had many examples of it in the past few years (Ted Danson, Luann de Lesseps, Kylie Jenner, Julianne Hough, etc.) with all the usual pundits, myself included, explaining publicly why this is a hurtful and insensitive display. She's an educated person with a news background, so there's no way she is not informed on the issue. Which means she deliberately, without regard to the harm she would inflict on people of color, chose to pull out this old controversy. Not quite a hate crime, but hate crime-adjacent."

Megyn Kelly's morning show at NBC has been canceled

"Megyn Kelly Today is not returning," the network said in a statement. "Next week, the 9 a.m. hour will be hosted by other 'Today' co-anchors."
Her exit from NBC News is not official yet. But it will be soon. It's a foregone conclusion among all the players involved, multiple sources said Thursday.
Kelly's newly-hired attorney Bryan Freedman reacted to Friday's NBC announcement with a statement of his own.
"Megyn remains an employee of NBC News and discussions about next steps are continuing," Freedman said.
Multiple factors explain Kelly's impending exit from NBC.
Her offensive comments this week about blackface Halloween costumes sealed her fate, but before the latest controversy erupted, NBC executives were already talking about a possible end to her one-year-old talk shows.
Lower than expected ratings at 9 a.m. and serious tensions with management are some of the other key factors.
Kelly has had no comment since Wednesday, when she appeared live on her show and apologized for the blackface comments.
Thursday's live show was replaced by a pre-taped episode. Friday's show was also on tape. So it appears she will not be returning to the show to say goodbye to viewers.

NBC found their excuse to undo a huge mistake they made
AND once again the vile hate filled reactions are exactly what's wrong with this country, I can't believe how incredibly ignorant people can be
Let's be perfectly clear about one more thing, I don't care about MK and I certainly can't cry for her. I guess the only good thing that comes from this is she gets to experience what it feels like to get run over by the mob, maybe she'll think twice before participating in the next mob
STOP BEING VICTIMS, GROW UP
