A's broadcaster Kuiper let go after racial slur on air. MORE:
Kuiper was suspended by the network following his slur that aired during a pregame segment of an A's game against the Kansas City Royals on May 5. Kuiper talked about a trip to the museum with colleague Dallas Braden but seemingly mispronounced the word “Negro,” making it sound instead like a slur.
A person familiar with the investigation said “the decision was based on a variety of factors, including information uncovered in the internal review.” The person spoke on condition of anonymity and didn't divulge specific details because the network had not publicly disclosed the results of the investigation.
A's manager Mark Kotsay said the decision wasn't made by the team and that he sympathizes with Kuiper.
