HS Basketball Announcer Gets Caught On Hot Mic Calling Girls Kneeling During Anthem ‘N’ Word

When you have a microphone on you, always be careful it’s not on before you decide to spout off some racist remarks. That’s what happened to a high school basketball announcer in Oklahoma. He was caught using the N word when talking about the ladies who were kneeling for the National Anthem:

Via TMZ:

A high school basketball announcer in Oklahoma called players “f***ing n*****s” for kneeling during the national anthem before a game this week … and it was all caught on a hot mic.

It all went down before the Norman HS girls hoops team faced off against Midwest City during the Oklahoma 6A state basketball tournament Thursday night.

Every player from Norman elected to kneel for the duration of the anthem … which led to the announcer’s outburst on the National Federation of State High School Association Network’s official live stream. Here’s what we heard in the clip …

Hopefully this guy never works again.

Ridiculous.
