An announcer calling an Oklahoma girls high school basketball game on Thursday night hurled racial slurs and expletives directed at a team when players kneeled during the national anthem.
The Norman girls basketball team took a knee in protest — something that has become commonplace in sports across all levels — ahead of their quarterfinals matchup with Midwest City on Thursday night.
The announcer was calling the game for an online broadcast on the NFHS Network. When he started seeing the protest, the announcer took offense and started slamming the team — though appeared to not know that his microphone was still on.
