John Focke, the Charlotte Hornets’ first-year radio play-by-play announcer, has been suspended indefinitely by the team after he accidentally tweeted out the N-word during Game 1 of the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz series in the NBA playoffs. He was obviously watching the game and meant to say Nuggets, but instead wrote the racial slur. SPURS’ GREGG POPOVICH ‘THRILLED’ AUSTIN VOTED TO REDUCE POLICE BUDGET, CALLS TRUMP ‘OBVIOUSLY RACIST’“Earlier today I made a horrific error while attempting to tweet about the Denver-Utah game,” Focke wrote. “The Charlotte Hornets are aware of the recent social media post by radio broadcaster John Focke. John has been suspended indefinitely as we investigate the matter more closely.”Focke previously worked for the Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx.
