..Nichols being removed from live coverage of the Finals only addresses one part of the problem here.

Rachel Nichols personified the real problem with "diversity enforcement" in employment. What she said was absolutely appalling, but that doesn't mean its not true. The network is just as responsible and at fault here for putting Maria Taylor in this unfortunate circumstance to begin with.

As far as I'm concerned, ESPN owes Black America a serious apology.

Beyond that, they need to go ahead and cut the check for Maria Taylor and Kayla Johnson.
