Draymond Green Reacts to Weatherman’s Extremely Racist Tweet About NBA Player

Draymond Green is never one to bite his tongue.

When Tennessee weatherman Joey Sulipeck tweeted about the ejection of Kyle Anderson during the third quarter of Saturday’s playoff game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors, he posted,

“And chew on this: Draymond runs his knuckle-dragging open mouth ALL GAME LONG, but mild-mannered Kyle Anderson disputes one call and gets ejected? Next level jackassery.”

His tweet was deleted, but Memphis football reporter Evan Barnes captured it and shared it, writing:

“Emotions are high right now among teams and fans over the play in question but this right here? @joeysulipeck – unacceptable. Memo to @FOX13Memphis – talk to your mans and check him. This is over the line and I won’t stand for it. This is bullsh-t.”

Sulipeck’s tweet drew backlash online, but Warriors star Draymond Green and head coach Steve Kerr said they are not surprised by the comment.

Green shared an Instagram Story where he also wrote, “Are you surprised?” He has reportedly declined an apology.

According to the Miami Herald, Sulipeck’s tweet is under investigation by his station, Fox 13, whose officials said that his words did “not reflect the values of FOX13” and that they will “will take appropriate action pending a full investigation.”

This guy doesn’t deserve his job, I mean, that is one crazy thing to tweet.

Fire his ass.
