After tweeting that NFL fans could consider boycotting companies that sponsor the Dallas Cowboys if they want to hurt team owner Jerry Jones’ bottom line, popular “SportsCenter” host Jemele Hill was suspended from ESPN on Monday for violating the network’s social media guidelines.

It wasn’t the first time Hill caused a Twitter controversy. In September, she made headlines for calling President Donald Trump a “white supremacist” in a series of critical tweets.

Hill has been unafraid to speak her mind from her first years with ESPN, allowing fans to hear a wide range of views on sports, politics, and pop culture. Below, read more about Hill’s rise through the ranks of sports media, culminating with her major star turn over the past couple of months.
