Why did Maria turn down nearly 4 million offer increase though
This shit is a mess
I don't think it's a coincidence that her demands are now public
I don't think it's a coincidence that this shit that happen a year ago is suddenly out in the open
The only reason they gave Maria that shit was the same exact reason all these cartoons stated hiring black voices to voice black characters.....the same reason the Oscars ARE ALL OF A SUDDEN nominating black films and actors and actresses...its Pandering. BSPN tried to pander because they read the room. These companies didn't all of a sudden just see the light. Their eyes are now open to the racism they've been contributing to for all these years? Nah....
Mind you the reason they even gave the position to Rachel to begin with was because she was a woman and they were pandering to women.....so they got caught up pandering from demographic to demographic and fucked up.

Basically.....I mean we all knew what it was....are we upset that she said it or the fact it was true?And that’s what Rachel said, she just didn’t want it to be at her expense.
They do it seems.I think they've often had a woman in that position as the host. They had Beadle and Sage Steele before Maria. That's one reason I don't fuck with ESPN's studio, they don't have who's the best for the job or who's the most entertaining.
and I saw Rachel had been covering sports since the 90's...so I could see her feeling a way, because I know she's not making close to $5 million hosting The Jump and doing the sideline reporter shit. So this younger chick comes with less experience than you, who gets more visibility and soon...a bigger pay check.
ESPN handled this shit poorly, from the not taking Maria's feelings seriously and then going back on what they said by having live sideline reporters. I rarely have ESPN's coverage with the sound on, but I had assumed that it was the way it was because of Covid.
yes he cant be pro black one day then the other equality causeOh facts….but you saying that he should be happy because of that?
Oh I agree which is what I said above....I'm shocked he even said something that even puts him in position to look like this...he should've sat this shit out if he that close.yes he cant be pro black one day then the other equality cause
the white woman didnt get her job cause her talent but because of metoo women movement/white privilege
just dont say anything if u are that close to the situation
Currently banking 1 mill a year, offered 4. Supposedly she wants close to what Stephen A gets a year which is 8 million. And the offer was made when ESPN was cutting salariesThis shit is a mess

Says a lot too because they could easily let their voice be known by shutting the fuck up.....and I'm not even saying shutting the fuck up is the answer because I like when coons show their true colors and intentions.....but wow....I'm just shocked.Not surprising that the ex-NBA coons now working for ESPN are lining up to save Rachel like "Please don't hurt her!"![]()
Not at all. Marias deal is up in two weeks. They are playing dirty pool trying to pressure ESPN to meet their demands. Shit may backfire tho.This shit is a mess

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.I don’t see how it could. If they had dirt on her maybe.....but I’ve never heard a negative word said about her. She unlike Stephen A Smith, knows her worth. You mean to tell me that SAS, who’s likeness they plaster all over everything ESPN related, have on every show, fly to every big game only makes 8 mill a year??? That’s some slave shit if I’ve ever seen it. Maria is smart enough to know this seemingly
Former ESPN employee...
Why would you say that?? Her workload says otherwise. SAS’s DEFINTELY does, but he’s to sambo to know it. The fact that this is a Disney owned MEGA company says otherwise as well. This is BIG business. You heard Jalen Rose say in the clip “everybody is underpaid” this is what he was alluding to. Tony Romo makes 17.5 million a year...........TONY ROMOMaria 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.

Who cares what Jalen says? He talks out his ass most days anyway. Maria brings no added value and no added eyes or subscribers. No one is tuning in for her bro. She cant carry a show and isnt talented enough to build entities around. She is a decent to pretty good host. Asking for SAS money is absurd. And again, this is the era of cost cutting and layoffs.Why would you say that?? Her workload says otherwise. SAS’s DEFINTELY does, but he’s to sambo to know it.

Obviously, cause you know cacs don't offer high positions and salaries to Blacks unless we put in work. They usually retain those positions for their own with less skill and experienceI don't watch BSPN enough to know this but I know Stephen A Coon be out here 24/7.....she put that much work in?
I’ll never forget dude telling the story of his dad being a hit man on ESPN radio
If you think Jalen Rose talks out his ass then y’all have a lot in common. You don’t speak for the masses, I’m sure having Maria on tv doesn’t hurt ESPN’s ratings in any way, actually it’s probably the opposite because she is attractive. She in my opinion, and based on all the shows that ESPN chooses her to host most defintely adds value. She’s not there to carry a show, but she is the glue of most shows they have her on. That is valuable. To suggest otherwise is ignorant.Who cares what Jalen says? He talks out his ass most days anyway. Maria brings no added value and no added eyes or subscribers.

Also, Romo's deal is with CBS and attached to be the face of the highest rated show in recent TV history.. MNF. He was also a former quarterback with the most popular sports franchise in this country. Maria Taylor aint him my man.
It just hit me, Sharon Reed was the chick that went nude [from 2004]Sharon Reed is that the same chick from Ohio that used to get posted up here?
She's fuckin horrible...what is she looking at...spit it out
Is she on drugs...she keeps sniffing
I like Mike...I know dude was increasingly getting fed up with Fatnecklock at Fox Sports
I think at ESPN, they don't really want you to be black...they just want your skin color for the visual
And believe me, they made no bones about why they did it:Sharon Reed was one of hundreds of people who participated in Spencer Tunick's nude photo installation in Cleveland in June. Her report, shown Monday on the 11 p.m. newscast on WOIO-TV, showed far away angles of her nude and some closer seminude shots, as well as other participants.
WOIO news director Steve Doerr said the idea was to cover Tunick, a well-known artist, in a different way. Doerr said the story also was aimed at bringing in ratings during November sweeps when audiences are measured to set advertising rates.
Monday night's newscast received a record 17.1 share, compared with the 13.6 earned during the newscast airing immediately after this year's Super Bowl, according to Broadcasting & Cable, an industry publication.
