Dez Bryant Unloads Truth Bombs on Rachel Nichols Over Secret Audio Leak

ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols  is still very much under fire following  comments that leaked about diversity and pretty much talking crap about her co worker, Maria Taylor. It all started when Nichols was on the phone with Adam Mendelsohn, adviser to LeBron James.

“If you need to give her more things to do because you are feeling pressure about your crappy longtime record on diversity—which, by the way, I know personally from the female side of it—like, go for it,” Nichols said. “Just find it somewhere else. You are not going to find it from me or taking my thing away.”

Everyone was weighing in on the controversy, including Dez Bryant, who is never one to shy away from controversy. The free agent WR went straight to Instagram to skewer the ESPN host.

“This was an opportunity for you as a person who so clearly stated “you know how the black community has been treated”….. to come beside another woman who is just as qualified as you are but has not been given the SAME opportunities as you based on the color of her skin and support her in this time and opportunity…

The comments you made are the PROBLEM, the comments you made are aiding and abetting the PROBLEM…You solidified what we already know about this industry and many industries….We need more people in power positions like you, who realize the problem, to stand to the side and help change the landscape that has been laid out and dealt to minorities in different professions and across the country.

Rachel Nichols I am a real fan of you… but you missed the mark on this one. We all need to get comfortable looking outside ourselves including myself.. to see real change…”

He continued:

“if you really want to be honest.. everybody looking at this from Rachel perspective.. how we know ESPN didn’t want to go a different route?…regardless Maria is qualified

Diversity shouldn’t have never been brought up

Unless Rachel know something we don’t know”

“Everybody keep saying but did she lie? No she didn’t lie.. the question is do any of you read??? I’m specifically talking about how she knew how the industry is..

Not once I questioned who was the better analyst…Rachel Nichols is due to her experiences…”
