    Do you think it's a smart move for an NBA team to have a play-by-play guy the players and a large percentage of the fans view as a racist? I do not.

    I don't live in Sacramento and don't care about the Kings and I thought this guy was a clown just based on the few times I watched Kings broadcasts on the NBA Season Pass. If I was in charge of the Kings I couldn't fire this guy fast enough.

    Fair enough ... but strictly based on performance, I thought Napier was a damn good NBA televison play-by-play person. The dispute with Cousins? I'm not qualfied to comment on.

    Yep. You write all lives matter and you've written your resignation letter. Nobody's gonna survive that.
     
  5. His views are whatever they are but you have to be smarter than that. He knew exactly what he was doing.

    Nobody ever responded to Blue Lives Matter with an All Lives Matter.

    And for those keeping track of such things, radio's Gary Gerrould (yep, same one who's been a pit reporter on open-wheel racing) moves over to TV for the bubble season.

    Fredrick, just stop. You know exactly where this is going. You're smarter than this.

    Been here for years. Just lurking for years. Watching him walk down a similar path as Napear that "you're" is equivalent to "anybody."
