Fired NBA announcer loses speech case over 2020 BLM tweet

A federal appeals court upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit by longtime Sacramento Kings announcer Grant Napear, who was fired after responding to former player DeMarcus Cousins on social media with an "All Lives Matter" message during the 2020 protests. The court ruled that his employer, Bonneville International, was within its rights to terminate him to protect its public image, citing his role as a public figure and the impact of his social media activity. Napear argued his expression was personal and unrelated to his work, but the court found his statement fell within his professional capacity.
