What does this have to do with Maria being "hotter" than Rachel?

BTW, Michelle is "hotter" than Mooolania.

Rachel Nichols thinks ESPN is a conservative network apparently.

quote:

“Those same people — who are, like, generally white conservative male Trump voters — is part of the reason I’ve had a hard time at ESPN,” Nichols said during the conversation. “I basically finally just outworked everyone for so long that they had to recognize it. I don’t want to then be a victim of them trying to play catch-up for the same damage that affected me in the first place, you know what I mean. So I’m trying to just be nice.”


Also is there going to be an Erin Andrews situation with Rachel Nichols soon?

quote:

In mid-July last year, Nichols was staying at the Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Fla., confined to her room for seven days because of the N.B.A.’s coronavirus protocols before the season resumed. She had with her a video camera so that she could continue appearing on ESPN shows


quote:

Unbeknown to Nichols, her video camera was on, and the call was being recorded to a server at ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Conn.


quote:

It is not clear why her camera was on, but most people at ESPN believe that Nichols, using new technology during a pandemic, did not turn it off properly. It was effectively the remote pandemic version of a hot mic incident.

Dozens of ESPN employees have access to the company’s video servers as part of their normal work flow.

At least one of these people watched the video on the server, recorded it on a cellphone and shared it with others.

Diversity in 2000 - Have a proportionate number of minorities represented.



Diversity in 2021 - Must be all black or you're a racist.

I hope Nichols gets fired since all she does it talk about Lebron.

Amazing how far you can go in ABC/ESPN/Disney when your MIL is Diane Sawyer.

Similar situation for Jeremy Schaap.

I'm pretty sure you are being facetious but Judaism is a religion, not a race. DNA experts have done research on this and have concluded as much. The Hebrews intermingled with Gentiles after the Diaspora over 2,000 years ago and have never looked back.

Rachel jealous because Maria is younger and hotter?


Why would she be jealous? Rachel has a long and solid history of reporting on the NBA. She's one of the best out there. Maria was a newcomer at the time who didn't have the cache for the gig they gave her.

Hiring shitty candidates to meet diversity numbers is an easy way to end up having to hire new people soon.

Either the poorly performing minority candidates get fired and sue or your good employees get sick of the shite and leave, meaning you have more spots to fill either way.

Rachel Nichols is perfectly fine with forced diversity so long as it doesn't interfere with her career. That's essentially what she said in this leaked audio.



That not-so-distant sound you hear is the pendulum starting to swing back now that this shite is affecting non-fringe people.

We'll see how much longer the engineers, accountants, and others burdening a massive amount of the tax burden keep voting for this once it costs them jobs and promotions.
