Maria Taylor has broken her silence regarding the recent report released about fellow analyst Rachel Nichols.
Taylor posted the following quote to both Twitter and Instagram:
“During the dark times I always remember that I am in this position to open doors and light the path that others walk down … I’ve taken some punches but that just means I’m still in the fight. Remember to lift as you climb and always KEEP RISING.”

Taylor has worked for ESPN since 2013. A recent report asserted Nichols complained about Taylor’s increase in coverage work. Nichols alleged that her increase was due to ESPN seeking to diversify its crew network, even if it came at her expense.
Taylor’s contract with ESPN is set to expire on July 20. She is seeking $8 million annually and reportedly rejected ESPN’s initial offer of a $5 million annual salary.
