Grant Napear was fired by his radio station and resigned as the Sacramento Kings play-by-play announcer Tuesday after his tweet over the weekend saying “All Lives Matter” amid the George Floyd protests was met with backlash.
Napear, a graduate of Syosset High School on Long Island, tweeted “All Lives Matter…Every Single One!” on Sunday after former Kings star DeMarcus Cousins asked the 60-year-old for his view on the Black Lives Matter movement.
The phrase, “All Lives Matter,” is seen as mocking the Black Lives Matter movement, which began in 2013 as a campaign against systematic racism and violence toward black people
