(AP) - An announcer for a live stream of an Oklahoma girls high school basketball game cursed and used a racial slur against one team as the players kneeled during the national anthem.
The incident occurred 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 epithet as the Norman players kneeled.
