School Basketball Announcer Uses Racial Slur After Players Kneel During Anthem | NBC Nightly News
However, those announcers should not have used racial slurs to convey their disgust. They should be relieved of their duties. Period. No investigation needed on this one because that video with sound tells exactly what happened.
Of course you kneeled with the teachers. The liberal teachers in this country are nothing more than leftover pot heads from the 60's that certainly don't have a clue when it comes to respecting the country that has given them so much. These liberal teachers are trying their hardest to corrupt the minds of their students, which is why the country is having such a huge problem right now with the democrat plague.
The announcer should be applauded not condemmed. It's about time this "kneeling" was stopped.
They shouldn’t have kneeled
I agree with the announcers besides the n word.
Bro why they kneeling
Why do we stand for the anthem? Out of respect for the men that died, and their bodies used to keep that flag raised during the battle in which the song was written.. thats why. Is the slur wrong of course.. is kneeling wrong? It's disrespectful. If it weren't for that battle on that day nobody would even have the freedom to kneel or play basketball. Look up the battle. Look at the history. Kneeling is disrespecting every soldier (All races) who died for that flag. That flag STANDS for freedom.
Happened near Tulsa Oklahoma?, this happened in Sapulpa, Ok.
Keep the microscope on the good ole racist boys.
So the excuse was diabetes…….wow we seem to have an epidemic of people with diabetes lately that all seem to fall under one party.
the truth hurts fk them anti our on people
Thanks Trump
Unfortunately these folks are going to continue to be in existence. So many people are racists but there very good at acting fake and phony and hiding it.But you can only hide who you really are for so long before the real you surfaces.
Is This Racist Person Still Announcing High Schools Games
Sorry, But I think all your sports personalities and Players should kneel before the Flag and anthem because you are not worthy of it. It is a Privilege to stand before it. So get on your knees you dogs.
Those women are way more patriotic than the pro-Trump coup insurrectionist. Nothing more patriotic than a peaceful protest and practicing the first amendment. If he had the power to do so he would probably have everyone of them lynched and say that is a just punishment for their actions. Hello it’s 2021 not 1921 this guy is living in.
CLEAR recording. "Investigate" means: we need time to figure out how to help the RACISTS in ANY type way; waiting until everything blow over, secret pay, & bring them back to work. Give us a minute to think of somethingðŸ¤â€Â
Please, quickly fire the announcers from their jobs. They "claim" to be soooo "patriotic", but were "talking" during the "National Anthem".
Keep kneeling ladies.
I love the youth of America .!!! Strong , vigilant and definitely courageous !!!
🌿🕎🌿May the vengence of The Most High be done concerning the sports announcer in this incident RIGHT NOW. In the name of my Heavenly Father. All praises to the Most High – God of Israel to whom all praises are due. Sobeit🌿🕎🌿
You can assassinate a man/woman physically, socially, career-wise, etc
But when the cause is righteous you only fan the flames of the intended assassination
Collin Kaepernick's cause was a costly one….
But a noble one that will outlive every attempt to silence it
Salute🇺🇸Kaep
Some in this generation may hate you but new generation's aren't with the dumb stuff
This is America don't try and move the goalposts now haters
Announced an investigation 😂 what's to investigate we heard what was said and like I've stated before I'm.a diabetic and I take metformin a drop or rise in my sugar has never made me call a white person a f**** cracker this was an attack on our most vulnerable our children no all white ppl are racist but it's getting harder to tell nowadays white teacher made a black special needs preschooler clean feces out of a toilet with his hands to teach him a lesson nevermind schools pay janitors a black business woman who deposited a $1000 check was told she couldn't withdraw her money because a white teller told her she didn't feel comfortable giving her her own money I've heard black ppl use the race card to much y'all have given us a whole deck to play with
Ok they investigated what? Did they not hear what ever person with ears heard? I want to know if they were fired.
This guy AND the people who SAID NOTHING while he expressed his racism need to be DOXED!
Nah this is y we're cursed
This why GOD IS PUNISHING AMERICA..WE WORSHIP THE FLAG MORE THEN HIM…HMMM. SORRY AMERICA IM ON GOD SIDE !!!!!! GO GET'EM AHAYAH ASHER AHAYAH IAM THAT IAM EXODUS 3:13-15
If cameras/recordings didn't exist people would seriously think black people and anyone else discriminated/targeted are lying that racism does still exist.
SHAME ON YOU !!! for using your picture, to make potential viewers to think that this ( yous ) video, is about you a black woman, "" saying the N word, "" nice try, I won't watch it, !!!!
He blames it on his diabetes smh
The bewildered damage strangely strip because venezuelan noteworthily remain given a painstaking color. smoggy, aback driver
They should not use those words but you should not kneel
STFU bc NO ONE CARES!
that is a half black half white team. big up on your win
I believe that a HIGHER power created a situation that caused Rowan to
expose himself because he's NOT a good person, he doesn't have a good
heart. The kneeling issue helps bring awareness of systemic racism in
America and EXPOSES the racists in America because THEY think kneeling
is a disrespect to the American flag. It isn't! (Talking during the national anthem is disrespectful, btw). The flag is their god,
their idol, a violation of GOD's 1st and 2nd commandments, the
republican party is supposed to be a christian based party. They're not!
So racist Matt Rowan exposed himself and now we ALL know where his heart and
mind reside. NOW he's losing his sponsors! Poetic justice!
These fk-ing racists need to be tied up and shipped to the furthest galaxies in the universe with no way to return.
Racist whites didn't give a F__k about the flag or the anthem until Kapernick started kneeling before it in protest of the senseless murder of blacks at the hand of law enforcement.
Question: What are they planning to investigate? I completely understand "doing due diligence", but this seems somewhat straight forward.
AMERIKKKA
Disgusting 😡😡😡😡 smh
This is how they act…We are living in a time where we should never ever stop to kneeling until we understand racism is not ok
