I'd like to take this opportunity to say that whether or not you loved/hated Ashley Seaver, Rachel Nichols as an actress is a human being who did not deserve to be sidelined liked this. She obviously loved her job and her co-workers, and is justifiably upset about this.
CBS pulled the same stunt with Rachel that they did with AJ and Paget last year. Please keep that in mind. CBS might have fixed one of the symptoms by bringing AJ and Paget back, but they have in no way solved the problem of treating their actresses as disposable.
If you can, please send Rachel some love on twitter.

Her tweet did not express any surprise indicating she found out the news from fans of the show. Nor does her firing breathe sexism to me. Sounds like a business move. Why keep a character/actor who is not furthering the show, pleasing the fans, or making the big bosses some money? That's business.
