Paying any sideline reporter that much is a waste of money.

My thoughts exactly. She's not "bad" at what she does. But there are probably dozens, if not hundreds of people in the business who could do the job just as well...and demand far less in salary. I mean, she is a sideline reporter and sometimes host. She's not splitting the atom...or even doing play by play (which is a MUCH tougher skill)

She is about to be (if not already) grossly overpaid not because of her skill and scarcity of supply of people who can do her job. But because she is an attractive, articulate black woman, who is PRIVILEDGED enough to work in an environment where people are paid more SOLELY because of their race and gender....despite her and her ilk constantly claiming doing so is the root of all evil.
