Oakland Athletics announcer Glen Kuiper has been suspended indefinitely after using a racial slur during the team's pre-game show prior to the A's road game against Kansas City Royals on Friday.
Kuiper was discussing the "phenomenal" time he had visiting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri with A's TV analyst Dallas Braden when he used a racial slur to describe the museum during the NBC Sports California broadcast.
The Athletics called Kuiper's language "unacceptable" and are working to address the situation while Kuiper remains off air until a review of the incident is completed.
