Diabetes And Ambien Are The Reasons For Oklahoma Announcer's Racist Outburst!

This is why we kneel.

They took a knee.....and they're called fucking NIGGERS!

Hell, they never were inspired by a washed up president to thwart democracy. You don't see them trying to overthrow government and then use their privilege claiming they were acting like patriots.

So this announcer from Oklahoma cursed and called one team a bunch of "fucking NIGGERS" because they kneeled during the national anthem.

The incident occurred on Thursday before the Norman High School-Midwest City quarterfinal game in Sapulpa as "The Star-Spangled Banner" began to play. The broadcasters told their listeners on the NFHS Network stream that they would return after a break. Then one, apparently not realizing the audio was still live, used an expletive and the racial slur as the Norman players kneeled.

"They're kneeling? Fuck them," one of the announcers said. "I hope Norman gets their ass kicked ... Fucking NIGGERS."

The person who said it was named.

Matt Rowan, the owner and operator of the streaming service OSPN, told The Oklahoman he was the person who said the remarks on the hot mic.

Rowan apologized on Friday and blamed his actions on blood-sugar levels.

"I will state that I suffer Type 1 Diabetes, and during the game my sugar was spiking," Rowan said in a statement. "While not excusing my remarks, it is not unusual when my sugar spikes that I become disoriented and often say things that are not appropriate as well as hurtful. I do not believe that I would have made such horrible statements absent my sugar spiking."

What the fuck?

The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association and NFHS Network each issued statements apologizing for the comments.

"While we are currently investigating the incident, this crew will not be doing any more games for the remainder of our championships," OSSAA director David Jackson said. "This kind of behavior will never be tolerated by anyone representing the NFHS or OSSAA."

Caught on hot mic, a pair of announcers called Norman High School girl's basketball team a bunch of fucking NIGGERs.

The NFHS Networks said in a statement that is was "sickened" and "outraged" by the comments, apologized and "immediately cut ties with the third-party production crew that was involved."

"We also deeply apologize to the students, their families and the entire community for having such ignorant and hurtful comments express during the broadcast," the statement said.

The Norman High School Superintendent Nic Migliorino said that the school will be holding sessions on how to address the incident so this will never happen again. The school said that kneeling was a way for athletes to express themselves, often while protesting racial and social injustice. The school supports the students' right to freely express themselves.

"We condemn and will not tolerate the disgusting words and attitudes of these announcers," Migliorno said. "We will do everything in our power to support and uplift our team and everyone affected by this incident."

Oklahoma State Public Schools Superintendent Joy Hofmeister also released a statement, saying the comments cannot be tolerated.

"The remarks made were sickening and vile," Hofmeister said. "My heart aches for the young female athletes who were subjected to this hateful and disgusting tirade."
