Anyone inclined to believe the absurd spin that — as Time Magazine and many other left-leaning media outlets have claimed — cancel culture is nothing but a myth concocted by bitter conservatives should consider the story of the unfortunate John Focke. The announcer for the Charlotte Hornets has seen his life torn to shreds in the last few days. He is indefinitely suspended from his job. He’s been condemned and ridiculed all over social media. Major publications and national media personalities are accusing him of bigotry and worse. All because his thumbs landed on the wrong letters while composing a tweet.
During a game between the Denver Nuggets and the Utah Jazz, Focke sent out a tweet about the action on the court: “Shot making in this Jazz-Nuggets game is awesome! Murray and Mitchell going back and forth what a game!” The only problem was the typo on the word “Nuggets,” which, through two errant twitches of the finger, came out as the N-word.
