Image
  American sportcaster, Glen Kuiper has been fired from his role as Oakland A's broadcaster for using the n-word while on-air earlier this month. NBC Sports California said the decision to part ways with the longtime play-by-play man came after weekslong investigation into the incident. It said;    "We thank Glen for his dedication to Bay Area baseball over the years."   Kuiper had initially been suspended on May 6 for using the racial slur while talking with Dallas Braden just before the A's vs. Royals game on May 5.   During their conversation, Kuiper had been trying to explain to viewers what they did during the leadup to Oakland's contest in Kansas City but in an attempt to say they had gone to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, he muttered the n-word instead. Later in the game, the 60-year-old apologized for it all, saying he had said something that didn't come out the way he intended.   "I could not be more sorry and horrified by what I sa...

Christian teacher banned from teaching for referring to a transgender pupil as a girl rather than a boy

A Christian teacher who was suspended from a school after calling a transgender boy a girl, has been banned from teaching. Joshua Sutcliffe, 33, was ruled by the Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) to have failed to treat a pupil with 'dignity and respect' by 'misgendering' them.   The former maths teacher at The Cherwell School, a state secondary in Oxford, admitted to failing to use the pupil's preferred pronouns when praising a group of students during a maths lesson, The Telegraph reports.   In 2017, Mr. Sutcliffe was suspended and subsequently left the school after he praised a group of pupils by saying, 'well done girls', claiming later that this was not deliberate and that he apologised straight away. He later took legal action against the school for constructive dismissal and discrimination.   The TRA concluded that it was 'more probable than not' that he addressed the transgender pupil with female pronouns in other instances duri...
