I just saw this commercial during baseball. This seems very dangerous for others in the room.

A's announcer Glen Kuiper apologizes for appearing to use racial slur during broadcast

The Oakland Athletics said they are "working to address the situation" after play-by-play announcer Glen Kuiper apologized on the air for appearing to use a racial slur during a pregame segment before Friday's game at the Kansas City Royals.

Kuiper appeared to say the slur on NBC Sports California when he referred to a visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri.

Before the start of the sixth inning, Kuiper apologized.

"Welcome back to Kauffman Stadium. I just want to...a little earlier in the show, I said something, didn't come out quite the way I wanted it to," Kuiper said. "And I just wanted to apologize if it sounded different than I meant it to be said. And like I said, I just wanted to apologize for that."

In a statement, the A's called Kuiper's pregame language "unacceptable."

"The Oakland Athletics do not condone such language. We are working to address the situation," the statement said.

Kuiper is in his 20th season calling A's games and has covered baseball in the Bay Area for NBC Sports California since 1992, according to Oakland's media guide.

Goddamnit I love the AL Central, it's always a shit show. We have one good team a decade and spend most of the time getting shellacked by the East in the ALDS and doing dumb shit like this.

I saw a comment today calling it Comedy Central, I'll have to use that more often.

That's some bullshit. Kevin Brown is a good announcer and did nothing wrong.

Half Life 2, Halo 2, and GTA: San Andreas all came out after the last playoff win

[Bandit]

I'm rooting for them until they play the Orioles.

Now if can get murdered by the Astros, I'll feel better about it

[Bandit]

The Astros are the playoff villains so if the Twins win expect a lot of people on the bandwagon.

I liked your closer Duran last night. He was throwing fire in the 9th.

At least the Twins won one game. Orioles were swept.

At least we aren't the Dodgers!
