Memphis TV station promises investigation after meteorologist sends racist tweet about Warriors' Draymond Green

A Memphis meteorologist took an argument that ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy made during Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors-Memphis Grizzlies series and turned it racist.

Joey Sulipeck, the chief meteorologist for Fox13 Memphis, sent out a racist tweet following Game 3 on Saturday, referring to Warriors forward Draymond Green with the racial slur knuckle-dragger.

“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,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

Sulipeck, who is white, not only deleted his tweet after much backlash — which included criticism from a Memphis media member — he also deleted his entire account.
