High school announcer Matt Rowan’s racist comment to a woman’s team is ruling the sports headlines. During a recent game the Oklahoma based high school announcer Matt Rowan said the N-Word to the girls basketball team for kneeling during anthem. He has since apologized and claims it was his diabetes health condition that caused the outburst.
On Live TV Matt Rowan said, “They’re kneeling, f****** n******” as the girls kneeled to protest social injustice. It seems he didn’t know that his voice was live on air yet, and in turn exposed himself as a racist.
Details of the Game
To set the scene for the video below the matchup was Norman vs Midwest City as part of the OKC 6A state tournament. The Norman team are the players who kneel in the footage. Norman is known for being a very progressive school that highly supports students expressing their freedom of speech on social political matters.

Moments like these are always sad and very disheartening, but the bright side is a person who was racist behind closed doors was exposed. Now the people at the school can’t fall victim to his hidden racism, because now it has been revealed.
At the moment there are no reports, which indicated Matt Rowan will be fired, but Norman will be using a different broadcasting system for stream according to multiple reports. This incident just goes to show the saying still holds true, “What’s done in the darkness will come to light”.
