Sports journalist Taylor Rooks has been a prominent personality in the media world, covering the men-dominated sports broadcasting world. Rooks is an NBA host for TNT, whose fans often call her “the baddest woman in sports.” The contributions from Rooks in the world of sports, Thursday Night Football, and Bleach Report are exemplary.

The biggest repercussion of being a celebrity journalist is getting linked to famous businessmen, athletes, and actors, and Rooks has not been any different in this case.
