Recent furor over unearthed comments by ESPN basketball analyst Rachel Nichols demonstrates how the inclusion of an elite few women will not dismantle ESPN’s or sports media’s patriarchal culture.
Yeah, she’s not hot, I mean, speaking for me, she’s ripped not cute.When the late radio jock Don Imus casually called the predominantly Black female Rutgers basketball team, “” back in 2007, I became fully aware of how sports media is like an exclusive guys club. Talking about women’s bodies and looks, whether they are professional athletes or their partners, is the norm. The stereotypes and condescending talk is simultaneously racialized and gendered.
Women are just now becoming more visible playing notable roles on national sports platforms. But the recent furor over Rachel Nichols demonstrates how the inclusion of an elite few women will not dismantle ESPN’s or sports media’s patriarchal culture. It’s easy to tag Nichols’s outed comments about Maria Taylor, her Black female colleague, as “racist” but they exemplify racist sexism.
Nichols’s lack of solidarity with Taylor as two women marginalized at male-centric ESPN and her dismissal of Taylor’s unique experiences as a Black woman suggest how timely Maria Taylor with two male colleagues.
