Mina Kimes has been a rising star at ESPN for years now. Mina Kimes started as a writer for ESPN Magazine...and has been promoted as one of the networks main NFL analysts. However...her salary is low compared to her colleagues.

We share a tweet Mina Kimes posted yesterday...and provide our theory as to why she shared an anonymous email. We believe Mina Kimes is copying Maria Taylor...by garnering sympathy to further her career at ESPN.

We explain how ESPN has created a culture...where sympathy advances your career faster than merit. Mina Kimes is using this email to not only bring attention to herself...but to gain sympathy from ESPN and social media.
