Grant Napear opens up about 2020 firing on 'The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show'

Before this, he broadcast games for the Kings for 26 years, and was fired for this simple tweet he posted in 2020.

However, Napear said that he had no one come to his defense, because they were afraid of the repercussions of sticking up for someone who had said something deemed offensive.

"But what was amazing is, every single one of them said, 'I would love to speak up for you publicly, but I can't.' They were too afraid. That's what it was like. People were too afraid to speak out and come to my defense," Napear said.

While that must have been disheartening (on top of the five-year wait to get a job back in the industry), justice has smiled on Napear and restored him back to doing what he loves. It's good that this wrong - at least in part - has been rectified.
