ESPN NBA Countdown host Rachel Nichols caught being white & racist.......

Are people shocked about this,I remember ESPN had a rule that employees couldn't make fun or throw their colleagues under the bus publicly after Kornheiser made fun of Hannah Storm. Fast forward,the Ray Rice incident where Michelle Beadle went on twitter throwing Coon Smith unnder the bus. He deserved it not because he said anything wrong but he thought he was untouchable from his white collegeaues there. He was suspended for two weeks while Michelle Beadle was allowed to be TV with no issues even though she broke company rules...ESPN made Coon Smith apologized in a tape recording before the show started. That shit was horrible to watch because he looked like a kid apologizing to a parent....

Maria isnt remotely worth anywhere near $8 million.. No one turns on ESPN for her or looking for her. Using SAS as a comp is a colossal failure. As you said, hes plastered all over the network, is an actual draw, and has shows built around him. He sets the payscale. A 29 year old with no TV following, and no drawing power asking for anything in his neighborhood during a time of cable cutting and layoffs is horrible optics. Now if she walks, nobody who actually watches ESPN (black or white) will blame the network for letting he go with those hilarious demands. Her turning down $5million was a major fuck up.
The 8 mill demand was a leverage play since Maria knew she had the network by the balls with this white bitch Rachel Nicholas audio and knew this shit would leak… Bspn in a lose lose anyway.. Maria will get the bag from another network specifically TNT and she will prob fill in for Ernie here and there..

TNT ain't paying that

Barkley makes around $6 mil

Did you read this topic? Steph A and Skip only make $8

That bitch aint getting no $8 form nobody famo. Her entire team including herself need to be shot and fired for not taking that $5 when it was on the table. I dont cats realize how much bread that is. Skip Bayless barely make that much and he carrying a network.
 
Why is Kayla a hoe? She was probably the only black producer in the room.....she complained to ESPN and sent it Maria looking out for her....

ESPN knew about this since last July........

Let that sink in.....and still nothing has happened to Rachel since then

Seriously, if a co-worker’s talking shit they usually let their friends know. And if they’re not your friend and you fuck with them, then they usually let you know anyway.

Although we see these people on tv it’s still a job and a workplace, and everyone doesn’t fuck with each other and everyone ain’t good pepole.
 
I trusted her

:lol:

Seriously, I learned early on in the professional world that you have to judge people on a case by case basis. My employer has a "diversity committee" that is literally filled with wenches who hate me. Conversely, an older Asian woman vouched for me early on and is in large part responsible for my position now.

This shit is messy but the only person I see with "clean hands" in this shit is the woman who recorded and leaked the audio. She is the only one who saw a fucked up situation and tried to do something about it without trying to use it for a personal come up. Taylor tried to use it for her own financial gain and would have happily sat on this info had they given her the money she wanted. Nothing surprising about Nichols' thoughts but hilarious to me that people said the same things about her when she started getting good opportunities. I don't think anything will happen to Nichols especially since the wench Sage Steele wasn't punished for talking real greasy about protestors.

i agree with a lot of what you wrote.

A leverage play for how much more? She was reportedly offered 5m and declined. Whats her magic number? There's only 3mil to play around with and I don't see any network paying her the same as Skip or SAS. Anything more than 5mil would prob make her the highest paid sports anchor on any network outside of FOXSports or ESPN. No way in hell is TNT paying her that much. They don't cover enough sports to justify that. And she sure as hell not carving out a big enough spot on Inside The NBA to justify that amount, unless she does double duty on CBS. As I said before, anything above 5 million would place her among some the top paid people on tv. Hell the 5 million would have done that. Bob Costas only pulls a little over 7 million per year. She overplayed her hand.

I have to agree with you on this. To put this all into context, Lisa Salters makes around 250K and Kirk Herbstreit around 2MM. Completely different roles but it illustrates how wild that 5MM offer was. It sounds like ESPN tried to overpay to keep this shit internal and she doubled down to her own detriment. :smh:

But I feel like we gotta be SURE if we can TRUST these sources

cause it is in ESPN BEST INTEREST to creative a public narrative that Maria was being GREEDY.

Nigga did I say she was going to get 8 mill? You niggas don’t read? She threw that 8 mill out there after declining the 5 because of that Rachal audio she knew would come out and she knew that espn was doing their best to sweep that shit under the rug lmaoo

will she get 8 mill? Nah they will prob come back with $6.5 lol

What if they come back with $6.5? Is that more than the 5 she turned down?
