Glen Kuiper was so excited to go to the N-word League Hall of Fame that he forgot what N-word he was supposed to use. Kuiper had been an A's broadcaster for twenty years. Kuiper left with a pissy statement, which can be seen below in a tweet.
"I wish the Oakland A's and NBC Sports would have taken into consideration my 20-year career, my solid reputation, integrity, and character, but in this current environment traits like integrity and character are no longer considered."
