There is no further story here.

This is the only tweet:

quote:

Sacramento Kings play-by-play announcer Grant Napear, who called games for the NBA team since 1988, resigned Tuesday following comments he made regarding the Black Lives Matter movement. “Grant Napear has resigned from the Sacramento Kings,” the team said, according to the Sacramento Bee. “We thank him for his contributions to the team and wish him all the best.” “I want to thank the fans for their overwhelming love and support,” Napear added in a statement. “I will always remain a part of Kings nation in my heart.”


He’s been the announcer for 30 years and he lost his job and was also fired from his radio show.

Would you get fired for saying “no lives matter”?
“White lives matter”?
“Perhaps brown and slightly darker brown lives matter as long as they fit an agenda”?

I’d lawyer up. Seems like wrongful termination

Is this even a thing anymore.

All of these guys “resign of their own will” or “mutually decide to part ways” now.

Well, that’s the world we live in today. You must think, act, speak, and move like the collective, or you’re the enemy.

If people really feel that saying All Lives Matter in response to BLM makes someone a racist I feel sorry for them. Their fake outrage is a joke....

So we’ve gone from blacks bitching about inequality to blacks claiming their lives are more important? Got it.

Social media is a cancer on our society. Everyone needs to delete their account.

I wonder if he just didn’t say “frick it, I quit” when he realized this was gonna get blown out of proportion?

I’d go to the house to if I could at that point.

Private business, right breesus?

You and the other “conservatives” are taking a noble stand defending a trash can and yet act as if you’re carrying the light of western civilization forward for future generations.

Social media in general has become the albatross of modern society.
