Sacramento television play-by-play announcer Grant Napear resigned on Tuesday amidst an intense backlash from former Kings’ players and many fans after Napear’s “all lives matter” comment on Twitter.
quote:

Napear had been the Kings’ play-by-play man since 1988, plus he was the host of a sports talk radio show on Sports 1140 in Sacramento. Napear lost both of those jobs within days of his Tweet.

Boogie Cousins trolled his arse good and he bit.
quote:

DeMarcus Cousins @boogiecousins @GrantNapearshow what’s your take on BLM?
quote:

Grant Napear ? @GrantNapearshow Hey!!!! How are you? Thought you forgot about me. Haven't heard from you in years. ALL LIVES MATTER...EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!

CSB: Grant lived across the street from me for 6 years and I still see him around town and at the gym (pre-COVID). Huge asswipe. Brash New Yorker with an abrasive personality. He never said hello or waved, but his wife would strike up conversations all the time.

to anyone whose listened to a king game with him, this is no shock and him being one of those all lives matter mouth breathers is even less of a shock

It's ok to be white, it's ok to be male, it's ok to be straight, it's ok to be conservative, and it's ok to be Christian

Imagine a world where a guy says that everyone's being should be treated with dignity and remorse, then being fired from your job for saying that.

In 1968, he would be hailed as a civil rights hero.

quote:

Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.”


Then imagine people actually finding this to be some outrageous statement. Then imagine people actually people being so subverted by outside forces that they take joy when this happens.

Imagine...

Wait, in 2020, this is real.

The unabomber was apparently a prophetic man.

Such a reactionary thing, nothing he said’s controversial and the riots entail many people of all races getting indiscriminately killed so he’s right. Straight up BLM doesn’t do itself any favors when they rally around thugs like Michael Brown and Alton Sterling or endorse lawless riots that kill people, undermines the entire thing. I get the point of the BLM slogan but saying an innocuous, correct statement? A statement that embodies what the Reconstruction Amendments and federal occupation of the former Confederacy achieved? A statement that embodies equality? That’s dumb, if I was him I’d tell the haters to frick off.
