Leaked Audio: ESPN’s Rachel Nichols Suggests She Was Passed Over For Being White 

In leaked audio, ESPN host and reporter Rachel Nichols suggested the network passed her over for a gig at the NBA finals because she’s white, instead opting to give the job to ESPN reporter Maria Taylor, who is black.

As highlighted by Yahoo, Nichols made the comments during a private conversation with longtime LeBron James advisor Adam Mendelsohn. The conversation was apparently accidentally recorded when Nichols forgot to turn off her video camera.
