ESPN has benched Rachel Nichols for its coverage of the NBA Finals, following the uproar for her comments regarding Maria Taylor in 2020, where she suggested Taylor was picked over her to cover last year’s NBA Finals because of her race.

quote:

Malika Andrews will serve as the sideline reporter during the 2021 Finals; Nichols had held that position throughout the playoffs as part of ESPN’s top broadcast team with Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson. Nichols will still host her daily ESPN show “The Jump” on-site during the series.

So Rachel Nichols said they picked someone over her because they were black, so they take her off coverage and replace her with a black person.

Lul. Love seeing the people that are "All in favor of diversity" getting personal examples of what that means.

From "Burn it all down!" to "Wait! Not my house! I'm your friend!"

So, just to be clear, ESPN knew about this last summer and did nothing about it.

But now, because it was leaked to the public, ESPN suspends her and are going to pretend they care about what was said?

Give me a fricking break.

So everyone loses. Nichols loses. Average fans lose because she’s good at her job. Now black male fans don’t get to watch the thick white girl talk basketball??? That’s 4 dimensions of lose.

So, now you can't speak your mind and give an opinion, ESPN giving in to this kind of pressure is just a joke. I mean people aren't blind, you can see what's going on with the hiring of some of these unqualified minorities. When people stop watching ESPN and their numbers take a nosedive, then they'll be "woke". Lol Woke, the slangs youngsters come up with today. Smh Lol
