Oakland Athletics broadcaster NBC Sports California has parted ways with play-by-play announcer Glen Kuiper after he used a racial slur during a pregame show earlier this month
“Following an internal review, the decision has been made for NBC Sports California to end its relationship with Glen Kuiper, effective immediately,” an NBC Sports California spokesperson told CNN. “We thank Glen for his dedication to Bay Area baseball over the years.” On May 5, Kuiper was discussing the “phenomenal” time he had visiting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, when he used the n-word to describe the name of the museum.
” CNN has not been able to reach Kuiper, who had been suspended since the remark, for comment on the latest development. Just after the incident, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum president Bob Kendrick issued a statement on Twitter. “I’m aware of the unfortunate slur made by Glen Kuiper,” Kendrick said on May 6. “I welcomed Glen to the NLBM yesterday and know he was genuinely excited to be here. The word is painful and has no place in our society.
