Sports Reporter Michelle Beadle Uses N-word When Referring To Denver Nuggets On Live Broadcast

Date:

FanDuel TV host and NBA Analyst Michelle Beadle appeared to accidentally say the N-word instead of Nuggets in the middle of a live broadcast during Thursday, November 7th’s edition of “Run It Back” with former NBA players Lou Williams and Chandler Parsons.

In the “You Buyin That” segment, Beadle shifted topics from the Nets’ Ben Simmons to the Nuggets and a recent comment from Michael Porter Jr.

The racial slur rolls off her tongue as if she uses it often, when referring to Denver’s NBA team name, turning toward Williams and Parsons after they both react and saying, “Don’t try to get me on that.”

Then, after the former co-host of ESPN’s SportsNation, SportsCenter, Get Up and NBA Countdown attempted to continue the segment and asked Williams for his thoughts on this possibly being Denver’s last chance to win with their current core, Williams who is African-American, responded, “I’m buying. I’m buying. Beadle, you gonna be in trouble today.”

“Beadle, you gon’ be in trouble today,” he told her as she pushed back, telling her co-hosts, “That’s not fair!”

“That’s not even a thing. It’s not even a word,” she added as Parsons said, “It sounded like it.”

‘Michael Porter Jr. recently said, “Aww, I don’t like this, that if the ni***as…” she said, accidentally mispronouncing the Nuggets’ team name. Beadle caught herself immediately afterwards stopping in shock while her co-hosts looked on equally as surprised.

Michelle Beadle addresses comments regarding her use of the N-word

“I sped through a [Denver] Nuggets question. And my vowels got all f*cked. Then those two turds lost it. And we laughed through the entire Denver segment. And will probably do so now for the rest of the season. I imagine an edited version is going around. Not showing the real-time viewing. And making it seem like an actual N-word and no response. Which I can’t control!”

In a post to her Instagram Story on Saturday, Beadle addressed the moment, writing, “The moment you say ‘Nuggets’ incorrectly on television and your entire career flashes… while your cohosts die. Broadcasting students: slow down. And enunciate.”

FanDuel, when contacted by The Post, called the incident a “gaffe,” and referred to Beadle’s Instagram story.

After Williams restarted his answer to the question about this being the Nuggets’ last run with their core, Beadle said “I don’t like hearing that, though,” Parson seemingly started to say, “We didn’t like hearing …” before Beadle replied with “shut up” — prompting the trio to start laughing.

She immediately received backlash as the video quickly went viral on social media and on Sunday, more and more fans are not accepting it as just a slip of the tongue and are calling for her punishment.

“@RunItBackFDTV should fire Michelle Beadle for what she say that word and that Lou was laughing it’s not funny should be all fired for that!!!” one fan added.

“Fire her. Cancel Beadle,” one fan added.

Some people are getting her on it. It seems online that there is an equal number of people who believe she should face backlash for the comment and others who realize that how she said it wasn’t on purpose. What do you think, should she be punished, fired, canceled or was it just a slip of the tongue, we want to hear from all of you!
