Video After The Jump
MSNBC anchor Alison Morris apologized after a slip of the tongue made it sound as though she referred to the Los Angeles Lakers as the Los Angeles n-----s.
Morris, 40, was covering the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, when the slip-up occurred. The anchor was describing Bryant’s legendary career in Los Angeles when she appeared to use the racist slur.
Morris said, “It seems like he was just the kind of athlete, the kind of star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles —” MSNBC aired the slip-up in some markets and triggered a 15-second delay in others, according to Grabien News.
The moment caught a lot of attention online prompting Morris to issue an apology. Morris tweeted, “Earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing, I unfortunately stuttered on air, combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say ‘Nakers.’ Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion this caused.”
Bryant, 41, and his daughter were two of nine victims who died in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, California. His shocking death triggered a series of memorials online from NBA fans, former competitors, President Trump, and Barack Obama.
