You should also listen to OutKick founder Clay Travis’ take the matter — or more specifically, his theory on how the privately recorded conversation between Nichols and Adam Mendelsohn, centered on Taylor, became public.
"Maria Taylor’s contract is up in a couple of weeks," Clay explained. "If you want to know how a story like this actually ends up occurring, it is because Maria Taylor decided to have her people leak this story. She’s the only one who benefits, she’s the only one not quoted directly in the story. She is trying to extort ESPN into paying her a massive salary increase, which she does not otherwise deserve."

Clay actually summed up much of this entire story before making the above comments, when he said, "This is what woke culture leads to — an argument over who the true victim is."
