ESPN has pulled Rachel Nichols off of her sideline reporting gig for the NBA Finals ahead of tonight's series opener after the revelation of a 2020 bombshell video in which she suggested African-American colleague Maria Taylor was given a particular studio assignment to promote diversity.
The conversation, revealed on Sunday by The New York Times, was recorded by an unknown party during the 2020 NBA season restart at the league’s bubble in Florida when Nichols was apparently unaware a camera in her hotel room was still attached to a live microphone following a satellite broadcast.
Nichols will continue to host her show, The Jump, but will be replaced by Malika Andrews on the sidelines. Game 1 of the NBA Finals will air on ABC tonight from Phoenix, where the Western Conference-champion Suns will host the Eastern Conference winners, the Milwaukee Bucks. (Both ESPN and ABC are owned by The Walt Disney Company)

What is sort of funny about this is Rachel Nichols is a white totally woke ESPN reporter, now she’s not so woke since she’s been shoved aside for a black reporter...
In the world of Rachel Nichols, the woke culture is great so long as I’m not a victim of it....
She needs to wake up and realize she’s been cancelled for being white.
There are some truths you must NEVER say, or lose your job. Those truths are the truest truths and need to be broadcast from every rooftop.
Hi.
I hope you are doing well.
“she got her job because vagina... and doesn’t know how this all works???”
Liberals, progressives, socialists etc have what’s called, selective amnesia. Chose any topic and what they said or did previously goes out the window. Must be a genetic defect.

“I talked to coach ________ at halftime and he said, ‘We have to play better if we want to win.’ Back to you, Chuck!”
She had that affirmative action gig commenting on professional basketball all lined up. And then an even more affirmative action candidate came along! Not fair!
Yep. Same stupid stuff all the way from high school to the pros. Other than one of the WH paid liar press conferences, a sports interview has got to be the most ignorant broadcast idiocy.
thx...
yes, funny how that works isn’t it!
To create jobs for women in telecasts of men's sporting events.
“The conversation, revealed on Sunday by The New York Times, was recorded by an unknown party during the 2020 NBA season restart”
Its funny- when people secretly record these conversations and they are reported on by the NYSlimes, people lose their jobs.
Yet when James OKeefe and Project Veritas has videos and recordings of people in the media targeting conservatives or other unseemly behavior there’s a big shoulder shrug... shocked i tell you- shocked...
A: Don't axe me!
She should know better than to tell the truth.

The major company I work for is doing the same. Instead of hiring the most qualified and experienced, they hiring and promoting the least qualified and least experienced in the name of diversity. It will bite them viciously in their butt….I will not be around as retirement is close, Thank God.
“Don’t axe me!”
In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
ESPN is totally poitical now just like everything else in America. Jamelle Hill was the worst offender of being outraged by everything. Glad she got fired.

What I find a little funny is how little I’ve missed sports. Ok watching tour de France just now but aside from that, don’t watch, don’t care, no biggie.
