CNBC - Today, ESPN without warning failed to broadcast the scheduled afternoon NBA show of reporter Rachel Nichols, who is white, just hours after having blocked her from sideline coverage of the NBA Finals due to her suggestion to LeBron James’s key advisor that Black colleague Maria Taylor got a hosting gig last year because of her race. “If you need to give her more things to do because you are feeling pressure about your crappy longtime record on diversity — which, by the way, I know personally from the female side of it — like, go for it,” Nichols said on a call, audio of which was later published by The Times. “Just find it somewhere else. You are not going to find it from me or taking my thing away.”
