Bill Simmons, CEO of The Ringer, is the last sports personality that evaluates the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel of ABC.
On Monday, Kimmel accused “The Maga Gang” of reaching “new minimums” in “trying to characterize” the suspect of murder of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, “as more than one of them.”
The president of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Brendan Carr, pressed for Disney, the ABC parent company, to address the controversy. Simmons said Rolling Stone reported that ABC executives who did not feel that Kimmel cross a line was afraid of reprisals for the Trump administration.
Trump appointed Carr before his first term, then again for Biden and once again for Trump in re -election.

With that report in your rear pocket, pointing out the potential fusion between Nexstar and Tegna and the participation of the Trump administration, Simmons called the elimination of Kimmel “censorship” instead of “canceling culture”, which will happen throughout Trump’s presidency.
“[Kimmel] You can still have that platform wherever he wants to be the platform, “Simmons said in his self-name podcast.” And that is the difference in this. And that’s why I don’t think this is as scary and terrible as it may feel this week. Yes, we will have censorship. Yes, stupid s — As this will apparently continue to happen over the next three years. Yes, speech is the ugliest that has ever been.
“But I still feel that if someone is good enough to have a platform, you can find it. Therefore, I hope that Jimmy’s program stays, and I hope that ABC hit him. And I think if they don’t, I think it will be quite a coward. I don’t think it’s crazy. And I wouldn’t bet on that guy.”
