SMH: White Oklahoma High School Basketball Announcer Called The Names Of Black And Native American Team "Pretty Disgusting"

Crooked Oak Public Schools officials shared the comments Principal Laura Knight made Friday night on Facebook, saying she was shocked when she heard the announcer's words in person.

"The mama bear was coming out in me! I love these kids with my whole heart," she wrote. "Those girls handled it beautifully and rose above."

On Saturday, Newkirk Public Schools Superintendent Brady Barnes released a statement about the incident, saying the announcer made an "unfortunate and inappropriate personal comment" and that he was replaced at halftime.

"In around 20 years of announcing Newkirk games, this is the first time something like this has occurred," Barnes posted on the district's Facebook page. "To the Newkirk and Crooked Oak communities at large, I would like to say that this unfortunate comment does not represent the Newkirk Public Schools or its beliefs. Posted by Abdul
