What do you do if you are Rachel Nichols?
Do you say nothing and hope everything passes OR do you do a big apology on air?
She is scheduled to work the NBA Finals with Maria Taylor, so you wonder if ESPN will try to get them together to clear the air.
BSO wrote how when ESPN realized that Black Lives Matter wasn’t making them any more money that they didn’t like how outspoken Taylor has gotten about the company.
She does have one ally in her corner.
Stephen Jackson says after asking her for answers she called him and explain her side of the story.
Jackson in turn says he understands why she was upset with Maria Taylor getting an NBA Finals gig and will continue to support Nichols. Stak goes on to say that black people need to stop blaming white people for them not getting opportunities. For some reason he uses rappers becoming millionaires as an example of how if you work hard you will succeed.
That of course perpetuates as a stereotype that black people don’t work as hard as black people.
Flip the page for Stak’s original post he deleted and them him strongly coming to Rachel Nichols’ defense.
