She's not wrong though. Rachel Nichols didn't know how to turn off her camera in her hotel room. There's a 100% chance that whoever was watching this video was looking for something other than her bitching about her co-worker.

I believe it 100% because it is true. We do it all the time here where I teach. It is pathetic.

Both of these women suck at their jobs. Maria was better as a sideline reporter. She’s a snoozer as a host.

Rachel Nichols:
1- Gets hired because of diversity
2- Gets replaced because of diversity
3- Complains about diversity
4- ?
5- Profit?

And, yes, Jeremy Schaap is fricking terrible.

My wish is that before boarding an airplane or getting surgery each person was asked "would you like the Dr./pilot that was hired on qualification or diversity?" We would see real quick how much these leftists believed in the importance of diversity.

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

Well there’s your diversity, Rachael. Enjoy.

How does ESPN have a crappy record on diversity?


If they have one white employee, it’s too many these days.

She's not white


Is this a new thing? Since when we’re Jews not “white”?

Granted not all may be white no is looking a Rachel Nichols and half of Hollywood and thinking those folks aren’t white as hell.

From OutKick

quote:

For the leak headlined “A Disparaging Video Prompts Explosive Fallout Within ESPN,” July 4, 2021, was the opportune time. Also known as about three weeks before Maria Taylor’s contract expires. 

In other words, someone sent the recording of Nichols to a useful idiot at the New York Times to assist in Taylor’s unreasonable contract negotiations.

Taylor wants $8 million a year, a near $7 million annual raise at a time when ESPN asks other employees to take 30% cuts. Last year, Taylor turned down an offer for $5 million a year. Sources tell OutKick that Taylor’s mother and a manager have handled much of her behind-the-scenes conversations over the past year.

Sunday morning, I sent Maria Taylor a text message asking if she had a comment on the widespread industry belief that someone in her camp had directly saved and sent this audio to the Times. Taylor has not responded.

The idea behind the leak is to paint Taylor as the victim by saying another host diminished her down to her skin color.

How does that help her in contract negotiations?

Seems that'd hurt.

Probably true & still not a good look for Nichols.

If both camps are smart they combine to issue a release saying this is a “male dominated” culture that is pitting two females against each other.

Don’t fight each other, find a bigger bad to unite against.
