Oakland Athletics Broadcaster Suspended for Saying Nigger on Air

Oh no!

Not the meanest word of all!

Imagine how many people’s feelings were hurt!!!!

We built this great democracy to prevent people’s feelings from being hurt and this is not who we are.

New York Post:

Veteran Oakland Athletics play-by-play broadcaster Glen Kuiper was suspended from his post Saturday after apparently using the n-word on live television.

NBC Sports California said in a statement Saturday that Kuiper will remain off the air until a review of what happened during Friday night’s broadcast is completed.

Vince Cotroneo and Johnny Doskow will rotate in as play-by-play announcers during Kuiper’s absence.

The 20-season announcer apologized ahead of the sixth inning of the California team’s game against the Kansas City Royals, telling viewers his wording “didn’t come out quite the way I wanted it to.”

During the pregame coverage, Kuiper and broadcast partner Dallas Braden reflected on their “phenomenal day” in Kansas City in the lead-up to the game.

Kuiper said the duo visited the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, but appeared to replace the first word with the racially-charged slur.

Just shut up.

Stop whining.

It’s just a word, you stupid niggers.

Why do you even care?

Like, who whines this way about a word?

It doesn’t even make sense.
