Two days after the A’s suspended broadcaster Glen Kuiper for saying what sounded like a racial slur on air, his partner in the booth, former A’s pitcher Dallas Braden, issued a statement on the matter.
The team suspended Kuiper on Saturday, saying that he will remain off the air until a full review of the incident has been completed. Kuiper appeared to say the slur while describing a recent trip to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
In his statement, Braden described his perspective of the incident, and said that his silence on the matter to this point has been “misrepresented.”
