Former ESPN host Jemele Hill echoes Pat McAfee’s criticisms of ESPN leadership: ‘I could certainly relate’

Michele Tafoya talks about the ongoing Aaron Rodgers-Jimmy Kimmel feud on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."

Former ESPN host Jemele Hill seemed to echo Pat McAfee's criticisms of the network on Tuesday during an interview on "The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz," and said she could "certainly" relate to it. 

ESPN host Pat McAfee called out ESPN Executive Vice President Norby Williamson during his show on Friday and said he was trying to "sabotage" his show on ESPN. ESPN released a statement responding to McAfee's comments on Saturday.

"No one is more committed to and invested in ESPN’s success than Norby Williamson," ESPN said. "We are thrilled with the multi-platform success that we have seen from The Pat McAfee Show across ESPN. We will handle this matter internally and have no further comment."

Host Dan Le Batard, who also worked at ESPN, brought in Hill to discuss the back-and-forth between ESPN leadership and talent. Le Batard asked her about it and said "most of this" was funny.

"I think I was pretty amused by it, as well," Hill said, "because, as you mentioned, Dan, this is just something that you just never see, and especially at a place like ESPN where there’s sort of an unofficial cardinal rule about talent-on-talent crime or letting what is happening in the building spill out into public arenas in the way in which Pat McAfee did. I mean I’ve never seen that in the history of this network that somebody just took a flamethrower to one of the executives there," she said,
