Summary

Who the hell is making the decisions at ESPN regarding discipline for talent? Yesterday ESPN cancelled The Jump hosted by Rachel Nichols. If you don't know the Nichols story by now you've been living on Mars. What a joke ESPN has become. Stephen A. Smith can disparage the Nigerian basketball team and mock Shohei Ohtani because he uses an interpreter and nothing happens to Smith. ESPN has to be publicly admonished by NBA Commissioner for the Nichols-Maria Taylor debacle and now in August 2021 Nichols is cancelled! What a joke!!! Learn more about your ad choices.
