He wrote a column warning Taylor against “nailing herself to the same cross as Jemele Hill and Michelle Beadle.” In Whitlock’s telling, Hill and Beadle sabotaged their promising sports TV careers by embracing victimhood and woke left-wing politics.

Apparently, Whitlock doesn’t believe that, because the gesture of support upset him.

The climate in sports media is still hostile towards women. Despite making up 40% of participants in sports, female athletes receive only 4% of sports media coverage. More than 90% of sports anchors, commentators and analysts are men. It’s important that Williams and Rose, two of the most heralded college basketball stars of the 1990s and early 2000s, embraced Taylor and declared she belongs.Įven with changing attitudes, sports media remains a male-dominated profession. Remember: it was just 30 years ago when New England Patriots players verbally abused Boston Herald reporter Lisa Olson inside of the locker room. The gesture may have been performative, but that doesn’t erase its symbolic significance. On “NBA Countdown” the following night, analysts Jalen Rose and Jay Williams supported Taylor, and gifted her with flowers. Gottlieb’s criticisms of Taylor were not overtly sexist - unlike McNeil’s archaic quip - but they were belittling. But they’re not, and thus, McNeil was left defenseless against the deserved onslaught. If the station’s ratings were better, perhaps McNeil would’ve retained his job on afternoon drive, one of the most coveted pieces of real estate in radio. McNeil’s station, 670 The Score, has lost close to 40% of its audience from last year.
