Maria Taylor breaks her silence following Rachel Nichols’ apology
“I always remember that I am in this position to open doors and light the path that others walk down,” Taylor tweeted. Sports journalist Maria Taylor, who has been at the center of accusations of racial favoritism at ESPN and specific acts of racism by colleague Rachel Nichols, is finally breaking her silence. Other than doing her job as a commentator for NBA games on the network, Taylor has been silent on both Twitter and Instagram — until Wednesday.
