Glen Kuiper Suspended Over N-Word Incident


Over the weekend Oakland A's announcer Glen Kuiper said the n-word with a hard -er live on air [click here if you missed that]. 

Kuiper is now suspended while an investigation is conducted...

From ESPN
Oakland Athletics broadcaster Glen Kuiper has been suspended after uttering a racial slur while describing a trip to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
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.
In a pregame segment on NBC Sports California before the A's played the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, Kuiper talked about a trip to the museum with colleague Dallas Braden but seemingly mispronounced the word "negro," making it sound instead like a slur.
"I could not be more sorry and horrified by what I said," Kuiper said Saturday in a statement released by NBC Sports California. "I hope you will accept my sincerest apologies."
The A's later issued a statement Friday night, calling the language used by Kuiper "unacceptable."
Kuiper has been calling A's games in the Bay Area for about 20 years. He is the younger brother of former major leaguer and Giants announcer Duane Kuiper.
Radio announcers Johnny Doskow and Vince Cotroneo will rotate as play-by-play announcers during Kuiper's absence.

It came out like that because that's how he usually pronounces it more than likely.

That rolled off of his tongue like he's been saying it effortlessly for years. Unfortunately, I've heard all races use racist slurs. This is how you judge it, a true racist never calls themselves their own racist slur, they just know everyone elses. I can't believe he even went to the museum, must have enjoyed seeing the lynchings? Well i hope not.
