A's Broadcaster Glen Kuiper Apologizes After Using Racial Slur on Air During Game
Oakland Athletics play-by-play announcer Glen Kuiper apologized Friday after using a racial slur on the air during a pregame segment ahead of Friday's matchup against the Kansas City Royals.
"Welcome back to Kauffman Stadium. I just want to...a little earlier in the show, I said something, didn't come out quite the way I wanted it to," Kuiper said before the sixth inning, per ESPN. "And I just wanted to apologize if it sounded different than I meant it to be said. And like I said, I just wanted to apologize for that."
