ESPN's Decision to Remove Rachel Nichols From NBA Coverage Leads to Wild Social Media Reactions
08/26/2021 04:02 pm EDT
Here's a look at Nichols confirming the news. One person wrote: "Cancelling Rachel Nichols does NOTHING to help the black community. Only makes ESPN more boring. The pandering will not replace actual corrective action for our flawed system. Once everyone is 'cancelled' and all the problems still exist then what?
Another person wrote: "Her true feelings were rightly made public by that recording. What she said was downright egregious and frankly it took espn to long to come to this conclusion. If Nichols was smart she would sincerely apologize for her actions instead of trying to put a smile on a sad chapter."
"We love you Rachel," another person said. "No one was more passionate about the NBA. Your respect for the game and it's players was incredible. Good luck in your future endeavers. I will be waiting to see whatever you do. God bless."
A Twitter user wrote: "That Maria Taylor thing cost you your career! Those inner thoughts eventually get found out! Now go edit you twitter heading because the jump is over!"
A Nichols fan wrote: "The Jump was the only show I ever watched on ESPN (would even record it). You are an amazing talent- brilliant, funny and passionate. You could read the phone book and it would be entertaining. Can't wait to see what you do next!"
Another Nichols fan wrote: "What a shame. Watched your show every day. Thanks for all your hard work over the years - really enjoyed your NBA coverage. Guess nobody is allowed to make a mistake and then apologize anymore. Didn't realize our world was so full of perfect humans who never make a mistake."

And this fan wrote: "Man if you get on here bashing her you may need to listen to the audio again she talked shit about espn, I not going to work at a place for 17 years build myself up only to pass it on to someone else when I'm seeing legit success."
