According to an NBC Sports representative, Athletics commentator Glen Kuiper has been suspended indefinitely for using a racist slur on television while discussing a trip to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.

The error happened during a pre-game segment that Kuiper and Dallas Braden were doing at Kauffman Stadium. Kuiper has been the main voice of the Athletics since 2006.

Today was amazing, Kuiper remarked during the show. The League Museum (N-word). … and BBQ from Arthur Bryant.

Glen Kuiper used foul language in today’s pregame broadcast, which is inexcusable. Such language is not supported by the Oakland Athletics… We are attempting to resolve the circumstances.

As for Kuiper, he expressed regret during the game’s sixth inning.

Kuiper remarked, “I said something a little earlier in the performance that didn’t come out quite the way I wanted it to.” “I just wanted to say I’m sorry if what I said didn’t come out the way I intended. I simply wanted to express my regret for that.

Bob Kendrick, director of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, released a comment on Kuiper’s wording.

Kendrick added in the statement, I’m aware of the awful remark uttered by Glen Kuiper. Glen was truly thrilled to be here when I welcomed him to NLBM yesterday. The word is hurtful and shouldn’t be used in our culture. I don’t claim to understand Glen’s heart, but I am aware that my own is one of forgiveness. I’m hoping that each of you will have the self-control to follow suit.”

The NBC Sports representative stated that Kuiper will not return to the broadcast until the incident’s investigation is complete.
