Connecticut, ESPN Headquarters: Since 1995 Rachel Nichols has been broadcast into millions of homes. For over two decades, today that journey has come to an end. Rachel was fired from ESPN steaming from an incident a few months back. During the lockdown, the NBA developed a bubble league and Rachel was in the bubble doing the reporting. One day in a candid conversation Rachel was speaking with a colleague about her frustration that she was essentially demoted during the NBA Playoffs, and was more qualified than her African American colleague, that conversation was recorded. A few weeks later it was brought to the attention of her bosses and know Nichols finds herself unemployed.
