Sacramento Kings Announcer Resigns After Tweeting 'All Lives Matter'

The following day, Greg Napear issued an apology for his remarks.

“If it came across as dumb I apologize. That was not my intent,” the broadcaster tweeted. “That’s how I was raised. It has been engrained in me since I can remember. I’ve been doing more listening than talking the past few days. I believe the past few days will change this country for the better!”

Riiiiight….so anyway, Napear’s apology was too little too late, and his enthusiastic racism ended up costing him his job.

According to reports from ESPN, the Kings asked Napear to resign as the team’s play-by-play announcer. Local radio station, Sports 1140 KHTK—where he hosts a show with Kings player Doug Christie—also fired Napear on Tuesday for his remarks.

“The timing of Grant’s tweet was particularly insensitive,” the company that owns the radio station, Bonneville International, said in a statement per ESPN. “After reviewing the matter carefully, we have made the difficult decision to part ways with Grant.”

There’s little in this world more satisfying than seeing a bigot get got. Congratulations to DeMarcus Cousins for getting his revenge all these years later.
