    Hornets Broadcaster Makes Mistake in Tweet....

    The Charlotte Hornets suspended radio broadcaster John Focke indefinitely after he used a racial slur in a tweet about Monday's playoff game between the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz.
    Focke used the N-word instead of Nuggets in the tweet, which was later deleted. He apologized in a later tweet.
    "Earlier today I made a horrific error while attempting to tweet about the Denver-Utah game. I don't know how I mistyped, I had (and have) no intention of ever using that word. I take full responsibility for my actions. I have been sick to my stomach about it ever since. I'm truly sorry that this happened and I apologize to those I offended," he wrote.
    The Hornets said they are investigating the matter further.
    "The Hornets are aware of the social media post by radio broadcaster John Focke,'' a team statement read. "As an organization we do not condone this type of language.''
    The 2019-20 season was Focke's first season broadcasting for the team.

    Yes. He has used that word and overrode it plenty of times. Sounds like an old South Park episode or a future one
