Oakland A's broadcaster Glen Kuiper apologized on air Friday night after an apparent slip-up sounded like a racial slur.
During the game against the Royals in Kansas City, Kuiper was talking with broadcast partner and former A's pitcher Dallas Braden when he mentioned visiting the Negro Leagues Museum. Kuiper appeared to use a racial slur instead.
Here’s what was said during pregame by Glen Kuiper that prompted the apology in the sixth inning. Obviously a slip-up and not intentional, but understandable why he apologized. #Athletics #RootedInOakland pic.twitter.com/KwDslNhTGF
