NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Saturday morning. While covering the tragic story, MSNBC reporter Allison Morris appears to have used the word n***** in reference to the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team which Kobe played on for 20 years.

WKRP rings a Bell.
Decades ago in St. Louis, a local newsman was interviewing the author of the play, “The River Niger”. He mispronounced the word when he was introducing the author. I’m not sure how a professional reader did that, but the author corrected him and they moved on, although the newsman had a horrified look on his face for a moment. I don’t recall any big stink being made about it; the only reason I knew about it is I was watching when it happened.
I don’t.
I don’t even know her by her face.
I listened to the clip. It sounds like she had a brain fart with the team name.
Yup, after hearing it, I agree.
Epstein and Bryant - two Naggers are now buds in Heaven.
She clearly said it.
But, Whoopi Goldberg says that’s a “term of endearment.”
Did she ever defend Trump or any Republican? If not, OFF WITH HER HEAD!!
Exactly. She’s a big liberal America’s racist type.
She claims she said Nakers, accidentally beginning to say Knicks, hence Nakers instead of Lakers.
Sounded like a slip, but so what? Many if not most blacks say it all the time. Certainly more than whites ever did. Its either a bad word or it isnt.
Lets treat her the same as certain people would treat Laura Ingraham if she had said exactly the identical sound.

I agree it was an innocent blunder (most women have no idea about the names of sports teams) but if the lady was from FoxNews or some other conservative network, there would be the usual outcry for her scalp and her life (at least on social media) would be ruined. Her children would have to change their names and go to other schools.
Sad...let’s just get past it. Two people died. That’s what it’s about...
I remember when Niger Innus was being interviewed on msnbc and the scroll under had a most serious spelling error.
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe!”
Big story talk real fast, assume your important, screw up and use the wrong team name, realize it sounded bad, and cya. News people do stupid stuff all the time. Big freakin deal. Too bad a man and his daughter and others died. RIP
No doubt she is a member of the party of slavery......
She will get a pass.
