Sacramento, Calif. — Longtime Sacramento Kings TV broadcaster Grant Napear resigned Tuesday after he tweeted "ALL LIVES MATTER" when asked by DeMarcus Cousins for his opinion on the Black Lives Matter movement.

The 60-year-old Napear also was fired by KTHK Sports 1140 in Sacramento. He had co-hosted a show on the AM radio station with former Kings player Doug Christie.

Free speech only exists in a legal sense.

It doesn't exist in a practical sense.
White men have the least amount of free speech of all groups.

He didn't yell fire in a crowded theater, he didn't call anyone an N word, there is nothing offensive in All Lives Matter. He stated a non SJW, PC statement. Since when has a PC statement defined free speech?

This type of trivial speech policing needs to be dealt with by the Courts.

Probably took a severance and signed the paperwork that killed any chance of litigation.

At will employment mean both you and your employer can end the relationship for nearly any reason.

One of George Floyd’s family members said All Lives Matter during his eulogy.

Because Cali is an at will employment state. Any other brainbusters?

Employment at will. Look it up. In most states you can be fired at the whim of your boss for almost anything as long as it isn't discrimination or medical related.

Hopefully you pay him back after he blows through thousands and loses.

I copied and pasted the quote about him resigning from your original post which you have subsequently changed to save face.
That’s Democrat level deception. Good job
