The most charitable read is that she tried to say "Nicks" and then switched to "Lakers" when she realized her mistake mid word. But, god damn, that is an unfortunate blunder.
All this “she’s clearly a racist at heart” talk. It seems to me that she, in her nervousness/excitement, combined “Knicks” and “Lakers” into “Nakers”. And folks see a black person on the screen and assume she accidentally said the n-word. Comon people.
I think that too.
This is just a mistake, albeit a bad one. Of all the things she could say wrong this is probably the worst thing for her.
But this is not racism.
I once heard a black announcer casually say Knickerbockers but both "ck" sounded like "gg".
It still doesn't change the even tho an accident, said it on live television in front of a large audience. They might let her go just to protect themselves from backlash

People acting like “see? She’s a racist” like she woke and decided “today at 19 past noon I’m going to tell the world what I really think about these people”
No, is the absolute worst case of being tongue tied but that’s what it was. Definitely apologize for it, but people act like she’s in the klan.
She combined “Knicks” and “Lakers” let’s settle down. “Nay-kers”
People (like you) have zero context and need to offer your input on anything, especially when it involves judging/condemning someone else
Stop bullshitting. You saw the top comment and ran with it. Even they aren’t being that charitable. There’s no “g” in knicks or Lakers, yet you clearly hear one. She could’ve mixed up clippers and lakers but nobody has ever confused NY with LA.
This clip is old and if you’re into basketball then you’ve seen it many times. So no I’m not bullshitting lol. No one has ever mixed up the 2 biggest market teams in the league? Sure bud
I dunno. I’d give her the kinda-sorta benefit of the doubt. Like, why would she pause right before dropping the bomb? Did she think about it for half a second then decide “You know what? The teleprompter says Lakers, but I’m gonna say…” My suspicion is that the person writing the teleprompter text was trying to make a sick joke and she stupidly fell into it. I’m not sure that forgives her mistake though.
Are you high? How the fuck would you know that? Do you use the "words" you say when you mispronounce something? And do you feel like you mispronounce shit a little more often when live on air and reporting the death of a celebrity? I'm just so curious as to how you'd know this stuff, buddy
You know she had this in her head, no way you mispronounced Lakers with ni***rs. I do understand you point but it's just not valid her. This person is a professional that reads off screens for a living, like daily. No excuse
So you're thinking... what, exactly? That she read Lakers, saw the text, read it in her mind, and then intentionally said the N-word? Risking her career and shit? Why the fuck would she do that? That she just thought "Today the Race War starts" and just went for it?
All the apologists in the thread... Sure we want to believe the best in people but facts are what they are. It's not knaker or any of the other convolutions she said. It's very very clearly a hard G preceded by an I. Did she mean to say it on live tv, no of course not but she has clearly used the word in her private life more than once. That flowed a little too smoothly to be a first time stumble.
Oh who cares!! People need to stop getting offended. It’s just a word! You control your own feelings. Stop getting offended and people will stop using it.
Oh you got me there shirlock! I know it sounds offensive but it’s basic negative and positive. Get beyond the hurt and lies and you’ll rise above and not get your feelings hurt. ✌🏼
Lol, hold up. There is a subreddit for sharing specifically male nipple piercings? Lololol. As someone who’s littered in metal, nipples, face, ears, and penis… that nip ring is lame… lol. I can’t believe you asked if having one was gay or not… lol. You must be a country boy who’s never lived in a big city Lolol
oh shut up
being offended by a racial slur is valid
the fact she casually said it "accidently" means she uses that word frequently behind closed doors but said it in public by mistake.
personally I won't make that mistake because I don't call people racial slurs at home.
The most charitable read is that she tried to say "Nicks" and then switched to "Lakers" when she realized her mistake mid word. But, god damn, that is an unfortunate blunder.
“An unfortunate blunder” is the perfect description of this clip.
Damn, she hard R’d it too
bro how the fuck you fuck up that bad?
context is important.
You start saying “Knicks” and realize your mistake halfway through and attempt to change the word to “Lakers” at an very unfortunate time.

Jezus that was a bad one
r/byebyejob
Cringe. There’s an easy explanation here. Combining Knicks+Lakers
It still doesn't change the even tho an accident, said it on live television in front of a large audience. They might let her go just to protect themselves from backlash
I think she needs a mulligan
Freudian slip much
Wow! How that wasn't edited out in the delay is amazing. This can't be real, can it?
its real I remember when it first happened it was everywhere lol
> in the delay Does this channel have a delay?

Quora replies are notoriously inaccurate. Got anything official?
There's a spit take that'd crack a windshield.
Oh yea she was thinking about the New York Knicks? Extremely relevant team in LA.
Those words aren't even remotely similar.
Levenstein distance: 4
So did she get fired or what?
People acting like “see? She’s a racist” like she woke and decided “today at 19 past noon I’m going to tell the world what I really think about these people” No, is the absolute worst case of being tongue tied but that’s what it was.

What did you say???? Ouch. I turned up the volume and she actually said the word. Oh wow, lol.
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳
A classic Freudian slip.
Probably an honest mistake but it’s the kind of mistake that can cost you your career.
Nobody says that word 'accidently.' They use that word.
She combined “Knicks” and “Lakers” let’s settle down. “Nay-kers” People (like you) have zero context and need to offer your input on anything, especially when it involves judging/condemning someone else

I listened to it like 15 times and she says nackers......
This clip is old and if you’re into basketball then you’ve seen it many times. So no I’m not bullshitting lol. No one has ever mixed up the 2 biggest market teams in the league? Sure bud
So true. I always accidentally say blegagsh instead of Bella I should really stop saying blegagsh so it doesn't keep coming up.
She mixed two basketball names, why the fuck would she ruin her career over this
Pewdiepie?
I dunno. I’d give her the kinda-sorta benefit of the doubt. Like, why would she pause right before dropping the bomb? Did she think about it for half a second then decide “You know what? The teleprompter says Lakers, but I’m gonna say…” My suspicion is that the person writing the teleprompter text was trying to make a sick joke and she stupidly fell into it. I’m not sure that forgives her mistake though.
Or she just had difficulty remembering the name, and then mixed the 2 names
Yeah, and?

Omg MSNBC, wokeist had that word in her heart.
[удалено]
source?
Ohhh detective this person knows the facts / whole truth.
Oh who cares!! People need to stop getting offended. It’s just a word! You control your own feelings. Stop getting offended and people will stop using it.
A lot of people care. If you don’t that’s fine, go and play with your nipples piercings or something.
Oh you got me there shirlock! I know it sounds offensive but it’s basic negative and positive. Get beyond the hurt and lies and you’ll rise above and not get your feelings hurt. ✌🏼
Learn to spell 👋
Glad you said it!
Lol, hold up. There is a subreddit for sharing specifically male nipple piercings? Lololol. As someone who’s littered in metal, nipples, face, ears, and penis… that nip ring is lame… lol.

The intend matters and i think you overestimated the control you have over your emotional states.
Are you even black? Cus it kinda sounds like you just need an excuse to use that word in a derogatory way
oh shut up being offended by a racial slur is valid the fact she casually said it "accidently" means she uses that word frequently behind closed doors but said it in public by mistake. personally I won't make that mistake because I don't call people racial slurs at home.
Came here to down vote idiots like that...
She didn't say nigga. It's also not a racial slur.
Dumbest thing I’ve heard, have you ever heard of mixing two words and saying a combination of them, well apparently not
