2 is better than one
Who cares if 2 adults potentially hooked up in the bubble? She is under contract Taylor is up soon and will leave
I would think her husband, his girlfriend, the NBA, and the network would care....

The reality is ESPN knows they won't lose any viewers if they got rid of both Nichols and Taylor.
This story has so much drama and like 0 substance. I’ve been hearing about it and still don’t know or care what it’s about.
what is more problematic than ever is a failure of critical thinking and reading comprehension at the highest levels of journalism.
in what world is Nicholls being racist here.
“I wish Maria Taylor all the success in the world — she covers football, she covers basketball,” Nichols said. “If you need to give her more things to do because you are feeling pressure about your crappy longtime record on diversity — which, by the way, I know personally from the female side of it — like, go for it. Just find it somewhere else. You are not going to find it from me or taking my thing away.”
“I just want them to go somewhere else — it’s in my contract, by the way; this job is in my contract in writing,”
Nicholls is a minority herself in her area and yet here she is being cast aside after working up the ranks and was venting frustration. anyone with any sort of common sense can see this is not a racial issue.
She believes that the host position is written into her contract. If that was the case then she should have had her agent talk to ESPN about enforcing her contract and that ESPN would be in breech of the agreement if that was the case. That part seems odds to me.Entitlement is thick with some people. Nichols sucks at her job anyway, oh well. No loss.
Couldn't happen to a better network. Eventually ESPN is going to explode into a supernova and all of the squabbling parties will wonder what happened.
Go woke go broke as they say
Given what we have seen in the industry almost like pro athletes in that after a certain age and pay scale the network will cut you. O’Toole, Natasha, Wallace, etc. cut from TSN earlier in the year and these are people in their 40’s.Cable TV is dead. The only programming where the actual commentary is worth paying for is Inside the NBA with Shaq, and Barkley. Yet they don't follow the Woke PC agenda so Charles is leaving at the end of his contract.
Also how in the world are these interchangeable personalities demanding 7 figure contracts? Nobody tunes in because of them.

See, there's a key component you're missing here... they're not stupid, failing at critical thinking, or failing to comprehend... It's all deflection.
This reminds me so much of back in like 2007 or 2008, Mets catcher Paul LoDuca called out the media for interviewing all the white guys every night and not talking to the Latino players. And every single one of the media members wrote that "Paul LoDuca calls out his Latino teammates" for not talking to the press. They made "Is there a racial divide the clubhouse" the story, because the actual story was "The guy writing this column doesn't like interviewing the Latino players." So the made LoDuca out to be the bad guy in the story, because THEY were really the bad guy.
ESPN is going to cover that Rachel Nicholls "said something inappropriate" and make her look bad so they don't look bad by following the old TV adage of "one minority at a time"
And the Woj thing is just as dumb, because it's no different than the Nicholls thing, other than he happens to be a white guy. The guy on the throne will cut throats to keep the throne. Doesn't matter who it is coming for you.

Said this before, their (ESPNs) NBA coverage sucks, even the games they broadcast tend to be boring. TNT is worlds better at everything.

It's unreal that they still employ Mark Jackson as part of their No. 1 crew. He's so bad he was one of the reasons I stopped watching the league (mostly)--and that was years ago! But that seems sort of typical of ESPN; they just keep trotting out really annoying personalities that are mostly reviled (for any soccer fans, just look at Taylor Twellman's consistently prominent role). They're in their own bubble, so certain of themselves and self-obsessed with their own mystique as the "worldwide leader," that I can't help but still worry about what their NHL coverage might turn out to be like.
