Maybe I didn't hear the whole recording and there's some really crappy stuff she said at another point but what I heard didn't seem like anything that egregious. It seemed like she was defensive about her position at the network so didn't want to lose airtime.

It didn't sound like she was making the comments about some quota thing even though she referenced their crappy record on diversity, I heard her more worried about her job. Maybe they were already looking to replace her and she knew it so felt the pressure then this comment served as their way to do it.

I never really liked her personality anyway, more than her bland commentary I found her irritating.

They'll come up with the same old "new" show, give it a new name and hosts.

Then can you imagine what it must've been like to work with her? Yikes.

I don't recall the verbiage she used at this point but I seem to recall that the resentment of a young and upcoming Black female doing the sideline reporting came across as unseemly with racial undertones. And Rachel came across as a complete B. In a business, especially reporting on NBA basketball for millions of viewers on the biggest stage, relationships are appearances mean a lot. Honestly, this result doesn't surprise me.

I just listened to it again today, of course I'm still unsure if I have heard the whole recording but if this is it, it's pretty innocuous. She said nothing about race, she said nothing about quotas, she only alluded to a crappy record on diversity while suggesting she had first hand experience with.

It sounded like someone who was aware of her precarious situation and concerned she was in the process of being replaced. Then she said something kind of in a gray area of 'offensive' if someone squinted real hard with an already existing bias of seeing it that way which gave them the easy out.

Seems like she's getting painted as saying something racist when she just was self serving wanting to protect her own job which she lost anyway. I feel people are playing up the race part of it when what I heard didn't really sound it, more like someone worried about a younger woman taking her job.

Maybe but its hard to serarate it all out because there was a possible perceived racial aspect to her conversation. ESPN is on the fake woke crusade so its probably safer for their image if they just dump her and the show...
