ESPN Apologizes For Celtics-Hitler Reference

Hooped Up | June 17, 2008

Talk about your screw ups.  Anytime you want to reference or compare something to Hitler…it’s probably a bad idea right?  Jemele Hill of ESPN.com didn’t think so.

In her original column railing against the Celtics, Jemele Hill wrote, “Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It’s like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan.”

Hill’s piece was posted on ESPN.com late Saturday, and a spokesman for the sports powerhouse said yesterday that the crude comparison was edited out within hours.

The newly edited version of the piece, “Deserving or not, I still hate the Celtics,” is still online.

It’s just Game 5 not the holocaust lady.
