Actually, hearing the audio, it perfectly sums up these leftist morons. Rachel Nichols in the audio recording basically said she’s all in favor of diversity, but she wants ESPN to find it somewhere else and not “take her thing away”. In other words, she is in favor of diversity, but doesn’t want to be pushed out of her job to give that job to a minority. She wants ESPN to “find it somewhere else”, meaning, push someone else out of a job.

Perfectly sums up these liberal hacks. They’re all for opening the border, just don’t let them come into their neighborhood. They’re all for gun confiscation, but not for their own private security. They’re all for imposing their social experiments on the serfs, but not for themselves. Rules for thee but not for me. They’re all a bunch of hacks.

It actually reminds me of another gem from ESPN. Here is reporter Chris Palmer during the George Floyd riots:



It’s all fun and games until their leftist nonsense comes to their own neighborhood.

Yes I have nothing better to do than make that story up on a Sunday morning. Of course nothing was in writing, it was a closed door conversation with her, her boss and 1 other admin.

I work for a fortune 5 company and can 100% guarantee this happens. We have our own diversity department and each team has to be balanced. If I have a mostly white team and a position comes open, I will be contacted by our diversity team with minority candidates and “strongly” advised to hire one of them

Rachel jealous because Maria is younger and hotter?


Hotter is purely subjective. I will also add that Maria isn't even the hottest Black woman on ESPN.

We need more of this. We need the woke to fracture into factions and destroy themselves from the inside. We've been seeing more and more cracks forming over the last few months.

My wife works in elementary education and had to hire a new teacher last year. She interviewed three candidates and one was head and shoulders better than the others but she was white. The weakest candidate was black and my wife was told she needed to hire the black girl to boost their numbers



That's okay. Your wife is building a good retirement as a teacher.

Many of them do. Trust me.

My wife’s company now has a policy that every open position has to have a “minority candidate” in the project round of the interview process (the final round before hiring) … so if none apply or are not good enough to reach that round the job has to just remain unfilled even if they have a qualified “non-minority” candidate

she is leaving because as you can imagine they have a lot of unfilled roles

ETA all of this got instituted after George Floyd and as you can imagine it’s been a failure, so they have to keep expanding the “minority status” … it now includes military veterans and non college degrees. they also now have a waiver process so departments can actually somewhat begin to hire who they want again

A “Rooney Rule”? But yeah, discrimination is illegal.

So she is in favor for it as long as it doesn’t affect her? Lol I have no sympathy for her, i hope she loses more gigs just for being white.

How does ESPN have a crappy record on diversity? I rarely ever tune in but just from watching occasionally it’s almost all black dudes and women.


This is true for a lot of newly woke companies. Yahoo has never had a Black board member. They shove diversity divisiveness down their readers throats, though.

I've had the misfortune of catching some of Nichol's basketball commentary. She really should make room for at least one more legit reason she got replaced on the big show.

She's not white, she's Jewish. Her last name before marriage was "Alexander". The man she married is a descendant of wealthy German-Jews as well that fled Nazi Germany.

Rachel Nichols is indicative of a majority of white liberals and is very fake woke.

Forced diversity is simply another form of racism except unlike other forms it is being openly encouraged

Except in sports because "balance " would mean placement of 35-45% more Caucasians and Asians based on race instead of "skill."

They* are all hypocrites to the maximum order.
