"Rachel Nichols made a diversity comment about Maria Taylor’s promotion"


          

and all hell has broken lose because of it.

https://youtu.be/HrL_S_0rhA0

I’ve never been a fan of her reporting, because it seems so forced, especially
her side reporting. I truly question her authenticity when it comes to being
interested in covering the NBA. She can be very curt and quick to cut players off.
However, that’s just simply my opinion of her ability.


Did she make that comment because of espn’s history
of inequality towards AA, and she feels their current diversity
moves are quota moves, and are taking opportunities
away from women in general?

Or

She has never been found of AA, and feels threatened by their
achievements and advancements within the sport journalism
industry?

This is what a person is forced to think about after hearing
those comments.

Jul 04th 2021

I wonder who at ESPN planted this fake hit piece about Maria Taylor
Jul 04th 2021
8
Saw that…what a shitty, bait-y title
Jul 05th 2021
10
and watch them simply not renew Taylors contract.
Jul 05th 2021
9
I liked Rachel but I can't say it's earth shattering
Jul 05th 2021
13
pretty much
Jul 06th 2021
27
given this fact
Jul 06th 2021
31
Mike Hill speaking on it
Jul 05th 2021

Her apology.
Jul 05th 2021
15
I hate how them brothers had to be human shields for her.
Jul 05th 2021
16
BTW the biggest tell about who Rachel Nichols REALLY Is...
Jul 05th 2021
17
      exactly..
Jul 05th 2021
19
      i remember she tore down drose after his 50 point game in minnesota
Jul 05th 2021
21
           Yup, that was exactly what I was thinking about.
Jul 05th 2021
23
           I remember this like it was yesterday. Been looking at her sideways ever...
Jul 06th 2021
24
           "F-D-H-B!"(c)Snoop. In most sports studio shows you have a host and 1-3....
Jul 06th 2021
28
Rachel Nichols is not an ally...
Jul 05th 2021
18
Wow. Perk and RJ are some fucking chumps for that shit
Jul 05th 2021
22
shit...i was more uncomfortable listening to perk and rj there
Jul 06th 2021
34
the day a white person outs themselves for their racism
Jul 05th 2021
20
Jimmy Butler......
Jul 06th 2021

Jul 06th 2021
30
nahhh this ain’t it. story bout to flip back in her favor if folks
Jul 06th 2021
32
DUH. that's why people are even speculating she/her people...
Jul 06th 2021
39
Geez, that’s rugged…
Jul 06th 2021
33
I wouldn't put it past Rachel Nichols leaking this rumor
Jul 06th 2021
37
This is how she wins
Jul 06th 2021
38
white women will always play the victim
Jul 06th 2021
26
Man, this shit is sticky and messy as fuck.
Jul 06th 2021
35
I'm still trying to figure how Rachel "accidently" recorded herself?
Jul 06th 2021
36
She had a camera in her room with her…
Jul 06th 2021
40
imagine being that big an airhead making like 500k and on TV all day
Jul 06th 2021
41
I understand that's what was said but it doesn't seem plausible to me...
Jul 06th 2021
44
      she don't gain shit from that and it fucked who she was on the call with
Jul 06th 2021
45
      this sounds like you think she is really really smart
Jul 06th 2021
47
      right so smart we can't understand the move after she's played it.
Jul 06th 2021
54
      According to a NY Times article, someone at ESPN leaked the footage
Jul 06th 2021
53
same way jeffrey toobin accidently recorded himself
Jul 06th 2021
42
Stak spoke far too soon...
Jul 06th 2021
43
Pretty much
Jul 06th 2021
46
ESPN has taken Rachel Nichols off the NBA Finals sideline
Jul 06th 2021
48
good they should give Malika Andrews all her shit...
Jul 06th 2021
49
ESPN is full of shit...
Jul 06th 2021
50
      its funny Rachel was a "diversity" hire herself, its obvious that ESPN.....
Jul 06th 2021
51
"How deeply sorry I am for disappointing those I hurt"
Jul 06th 2021
52
Actual writers are attacking Taylor for not helping to smooth it over
Jul 07th 2021
55
Rachel and Adam Silver share the same religion, he's going to make sure....
Jul 07th 2021
56
Yup
Jul 07th 2021
57
i read that shit.
Jul 07th 2021
58
How dare Taylor make all this trouble for Rachel
Jul 07th 2021
59
its wild that the person who recorded this was punished the most
Jul 07th 2021
60
yeah and she didn't actually record it, Rachel did "accidentally"
Jul 07th 2021
61
RE: yeah and she didn't actually record it, Rachel did "accidentall...
Jul 07th 2021
63
They had to punish her. She illegally acquired and used
Jul 07th 2021
62
      Wow i actually agree with you...fuck, let me re read
Jul 07th 2021
65
Three former ESPN folks of color opine on the matter
Jul 07th 2021
64
so are letting Lebron's PR man Adam Mendelsohn slide for saying...
Jul 07th 2021
66
Sure sounds like it. I haven't heard shit about him
Jul 07th 2021
67
I hope Bron doesn't let him slide.
Jul 07th 2021
68
He will. They will. Just watch

So you're lying...if you cared about Gus Johnson...
Jul 15th 2021

           I’m not at this level but there’s some strange power NBC Sunday foot...
Jul 15th 2021
74
           seems like you're conflating announcing with sideline reporting
Jul 15th 2021
76
If Maria leaves I hope they give Maika her duties instead of Rachel
Jul 15th 2021
75
Rachel wins....and yes, Taylor leaving is a win for Nichols.
Jul 21st 2021
77
If ESPN wasn't going to fire Nichols it would've been hella uncomfortabl...
Jul 21st 2021
78
      but Taylor's face is the one on the headlines....
Jul 21st 2021
79
           facts...
Jul 21st 2021
80
           True.
Jul 21st 2021
81
           I think it worked out to Taylor's favor
Jul 22nd 2021
82
                She (Nichols) was literally interviewing Jrue the day after the finals.
Jul 22nd 2021
83
                     Mike Tirico should be worried, some of his football and Olympic stuff...
Jul 22nd 2021
84
                     Ehhh did you see particulars of Maria's new job? It's great.
Jul 22nd 2021
85
                          It is, but for her to come into it in this manner? Trash.
Jul 26th 2021
86
it was weird today that Rachel kept saying DON'T google "Fournier"
Jul 26th 2021
87
bringing that up once is weird already
Jul 27th 2021
88
she gone...
Aug 25th 2021
89
That first picture looks like the smile now, cry later mask
Aug 25th 2021
90
hopefully Malika Andrews and Elle Duncan get all the NBA coverage
Aug 25th 2021
91
I really hope Kayla Johnson sues the hell out of ESPN/Disney...

No way. She stole intellectual

Aug 26th 2021
96
      Put on your critical thinking glasses,
Aug 26th 2021
97
           She was punished under company policy, not a LAW...
Aug 27th 2021
99
                Right. She breached company policy.
Aug 27th 2021
103
                She was never terminated...
Aug 27th 2021
106
                     Your perception and narrative are way off.
Aug 27th 2021
117
                While he does sound like a company man
Aug 27th 2021
104
                     It’s like saying dude that taped Erin Andrews broke company policy
Aug 27th 2021
105
                          Exactly.
Aug 27th 2021
116
                               Kayla exposed a horrible professional environment...
Aug 28th 2021
118
                                    It was a private conversation.
Aug 28th 2021
119
                                         I'm talking about a larger issue...
Aug 28th 2021
