Must be nice to get a monster contract offered to you just because you’re black. She’s not even a good reporter...
Lol it’s better to let people think your a retard instead of opening your mouth and remove all doubt

Karsten committed suicide because he was about to go to prison for 11 months on tax evasion charges.

They do like to bite the hand that feeds them.

... It’s important to note that Nichols said this to Adam Mendelsohn, an advisor to LeBron James and NBA agent Rich Paul (who founded Klutch Sports Group and represents many stars). These are the inner circles that outsiders feel they cannot penetrate. Questioning Taylor’s credibility leaves her on the outside with Mendelsohn and all of his notable clients.
What’s even more troubling is that Mendelsohn felt safe saying he was “exhausted” by #MeToo and the Black Lives Matter movement — sentiments he would likely never share with Black journalists (or his Black clients). This furthers distrust because it illustrates how issues that should be treated as universal are discussed differently by White colleagues depending on the setting. There’s the public response and then there’s the behind-closed-doors response.
Once we understand what the core issue is, we can examine why Nichols’ apology fell short.
Her apology addresses a workplace issue at a colleague-to-colleague level rather than a racial issue. Instead of a White woman apologizing to a Black woman for racially insensitive comments, Rachel deflects, explaining that she does not want to be the story.
She did not have to be.
Nichols could have used her learning experience to highlight the pervasiveness of implicit bias and the importance of language. ...

Get the frick out of here. She is actually a good reporter and yall have to remember.. This isn't her just throwing numbers out there.. She has an agent taking care of this for her.

She’s currently making $1 mill per year to stand on the sidelines and give football injury updates or sit on a TV set talking about shooty hoops. Anybody can do that job. STFU, white leftist cuck.
It doesn't matter what they do, its about the market and their value. And if anyone could do what they do, they wouldn't be making the money they do. Since you think you can do it, they could hire you for about $125k and make a lot more money which would be a good thing for Disney stock owners..
You are telling me you can't tell the difference between a good sideline reporter and a shitty sideline reporter? Or a shitty announcer compared to a good one?
Like I said in my last post. Yall forget agents are involved and they are doing their jobs.. Trying to get the most money possible for their client.
Personally, I like Maria Taylor. I think she is good at her job.
Im sure I will be considered a "white leftist cuck" for saying I think Rachel Nichols is wrong. I don't think her race played that big of a factor. It might have a factor that made the higher ups feel more comfortable about the situation, but I think she is good at her job..
Now if you want to talk about people like Jalen Rose & Jay Williams.. That's a different story. I said this before, if they had to leave ESPN for whatever reason I don't think they would be able to get a job anywhere else. They might be able to start their own podcast or something, but I think people are complaining about the wrong people.

Yeah because black people are the one who get great treatment. Definitely facts now and throughout history.
Why were African black people enslaved by Europeans instead of the other way around? Is it because Africans were too nice and were duped?
No, they already had slaves and sold their slaves to the Europeans.

I think a good way to think about it is, would these descendants have a better life if their ancestors had stayed in Africa, or are they better off because their ancestors were brought here?
