This is going to be a slam dunk win for Mr. Napear
Former Sacramento Kings play-by-play man Grant Napear has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the parent company of KHTK radio for “wrongful termination,” as relayed by Fox News.
Napear was fired after tweeting “All Lives Matter” in response to a tweet from NBA center DeMarcus Cousins, who once played for the Kings and is now out of the league. The exchange took place during the racial tension and riots that followed the death of George Floyd in 2020.
Napear had been the Kings’ radio man since 1988 and sometimes filled in as host of The Jim Rome Show.
“The complaint alleges wrongful termination, discrimination and retaliation in connection with Napear’s firing from his job at KHTK in June of 2020 following a contentious Twitter exchange. Napear was allowed to resign from his play-by-play job with the Kings on the same day,” per Sacramento Fox 40 TV. “The lawsuit is asking for damages, including lost and future wages and emotional distress.”
