FAREWELL. Maria Taylor Heading To NBC After Drama With ESPN

FAREWELL. Maria Taylor is leaving ESPN and heading over to NBC to cover the Olympics after leaked audio of colleague Rachel Nichols suggesting Taylor’s rising profile at the network was related to her race.

Taylor’s contract with ESPN expired this week and a new contract has not been signed. Rachel Nichols suggested during her leaked audio that Taylors promotions at ESPN were because they were trying to meet racial diversity records. Nichols was removed from her sideline reporting duties during the NBA Finals and apologized on air to Taylor for her comments. Nichols will not be considered for Taylor’s role at ESPN.

Should Rachel Nichols be fired from ESPN for her comments?
