I don’t hate Nichols at all and get her frustration but it was an incredibly tone deaf, even behind supposed closed doors.


What could she possibly be frustrated about? She is, herself, a DIVERSITY HIRE.

She is not remotely good at her job. She's like Hannah Storm used to be at NBC in the 1990's. A politically-connected woman who got to do sports despite her glaring inadequacies.

Let them eat themselves like Ouroboros.

Nah, she grinded her way through newspapers and was a very good writer in the 90's before making the transition to TV.

Rachel was great at her job in her first stint at ESPN and with CNN... then she came back to ESPN and sold her soul to the NBA and went from serious journalist to wacky basketball show host.
