Holy shit just checked some salaries and Stephen a Smith makes 8 million a year?

Living the dream. Angrily rant and be an idiot and get paid like an Allstar level nhl players. Fuckin nuts.

Yeah I didn't know they made that much. Maria Taylor makes 5 mill. Wtf she complaining about. She doesn't even do anything.

RJ himself is funny but him and perk get tiring.

Ah fair enough, I usually see RJ when hes one of the broadcasters, not with Perk.

So I guess ESPN's plan to make Rachel Nichols be the racist scapegoat worked. She gets disparaged for being "racist" while ESPN gets to continue being bad with their diversity hiring. Just look at all the people ITT who fell for it

I mean congrats, y'all had your fake "gotcha" moment. But it feels like on this one y'all aren't seeing the forest for the trees. Can't say I'm surprised though lol, this is is f***ing CE

ESPN has been masterfully deflecting. They figured (correctly) that people would bite if they tried to make it seem like two employees going after each other. It's more salacious than "ESPN has a long history of racism and sexism, and it's hurting their employees."

Stephan A is a shock jock and I almost never take anything they say seriously. They are hardly ever reasonable. They are there for entertainment, not for a fair analysist. Most viewers think he's crazy as fuck.

As much as people say they hate SaS he brings in the viewers, they really have no choice.

Oh yeah I agree. Thats maybe the craziest part, I'm sure it's easily worth it to them to pay him that kinda money... I imagine he draws more views than anyone else they have.

Fucking crazy.

I had no clue they got paid that kinda money. Especially when Ariel (who I'm way more familiar with given the fact he's always been the go to mma reporter) works his ass off and they figured him wanting to keep his 550k was too much money.

That blows me away.

The comments:

This is what people are calling racist because theyre too lazy to actually look up what was said.
Normal people: "Damn, even ESPN's white employees are calling out their bad diversity practices. ESPN must really suck"

Low IQ CE posters: "Rachel Nichols is racist! Cancel her!!!"

Can't believe people really fell for the corporate deflection lol

It wasn't even CE, everyone fell for it.

And when the non-white males that work at ESPN started defending Nichols people turned it into a "Women going after other women" issue.

People who didn't fall for it were called racist.

2 days this topic has been up, so some mod clearly decided tcs blatant anti-Semitism was acceptable

And for the record, pointing out that someone is Jewish when it has no relevance to the story is a very common alt-right tactic

NBA commisioner defends her.

Protecting their own i guess?
The NBA and ESPN are completely separate entities. Though they are partnered, the NBA has criticized ESPN and their workers before.

To be fair this was a private conversation that got leaked so she may have had a problem with it privately for a long time.

Other than PTI there's no good shows on ESPN anymore.
Here's a dumb idea: show sports instead of shows about sports.

I'd rather have better talking heads to summarize sports than the sports themselves.
