The Charlotte Hornets announced they suspended radio broadcaster John Focke indefinitely after he posted a tweet that included the N-word.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Focke was commenting on the Denver Nuggets’ 135-125 overtime win over the Utah Jazz on Monday when he wrote the N-word instead of Nuggets.
Focke issued a statement Monday to say he “made a horrific error while attempting to tweet about the Denver-Utah game.”
