I don't quite understand y'all.
Maria was using the controversy as a leveraging tactic in order to get paid.
What Rachel said is just typical corporate back stabbing and politicking that goes on all the times.
ESPN never was going to pay maria what she wanted.
I'm surprised they booted Rachel.
If y'all think ESPN is doing this cause they care about diversity I have some unicorns on sale 2 for 1
ESPN did this because Rachel embarrassed them. They don't give a shyt about whether or not the comments were going to be perceived as racist to Maria Taylor.
Rachel's comments, in no uncertain terms, called ESPN out for bad practices when it comes to diversity.
THAT, was the problem in my estimation. Rachel's public apology -- whether sincere or not -- was toward Maria Taylor. But she meant what she said about ESPN.
