Memphis Weatherman Posts Racist Tweet About Draymond Green
Written by SOURCE on May 10, 2022
A Memphis TV station is investigating its meteorologist after he used a racial slur in a tweet directed at Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green.
Fox 13’s Joey Sulipeck, who is white, wrote the since-deleted tweet on Saturday during Game 3 of the Grizzlies-Warriors playoff game.
“And chew on this: Draymond runs his knuckle-dragging open mouth ALL GAME LONG, but mild-mannered Kyle Anderson disputes one call and gets ejected?” Sulipeck tweeted. “Next level jackassery.”
Sulipeck has deleted his account since the tweet sparked significant backlash.
Fox 13 Memphis says it plans to take “appropriate action.”
