Summary

This past week NBC Sports California fired long time A's TV Voice Glen Kuiper for using the "n"' word when talking about the Negro Leagues Museum. On today's episode I discuss what happened back on May 5th when Kuiper was talking on air about visiting the museum earlier in the day. I go over comments made by Bok Kendrick, President of the museum and former long time A's great Dave Stewart. I also call out NBC Sports California for their damaging statement about Kuiper. Trust me, I know what that's like. NBCSCA did the same thing to me back in June, 2020. That company is a disgrace and I talk about their despicable actions regarding Kuiper's firing. I also go over Kuiper's statement after his termination which to me was also revealing! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
