All I could hear is the blatant N word until looking for "nakers". Before that I was wondering if she really just refers to basketball teams like that and where the fuck she gets away with it. But I think this is just unfortunate for her now.

Sounds like she wanted to say Los Angeles Knicks and then changed to Knickers after starting the kni- part.

What if she was gonna subconsciously say the N word and the tried switching it to Lakers before it came out >_>. That was a weird stutter right before it. I dunno, I'd never act like I'm 100% sure on something like this

everyone's like "it's nakers, she said nakers! you gotta listen to it at .75 or .25 to hear it!" - like nah bro, I'm good. I heard it at full speed, it sounds like what it sounds like, and whether it's a flub or a gaffe or whatever, she's probably gonna lose her job for this. I doubt the people watching the news cared to go back and listen to it slower to try and get her off the hook.

Like someone else said, it's much more likely she said Knickers, which is a British/Australian slang term for underwear - albeit completely unintentionally. It's pretty telling that I haven't seen three or so of the accounts downplaying this in months, if ever - it's like they signed back in specifically to downplay an accidental racial slur on the news.

The thing here is that even if she didn't say the n word, and it was a genuine flub - which it very well could have been - that shit still sounded uncomfortably close to the n word. You can rewind and slow down the word as much as you want to pick out different enunciations in realtime, but listening to that broadcast at full speed it sounds like she uses the n word to address a dead black man. In the best possible scenario, it's a genuine gaffe that I'm sure she's very sorry for. But it still happened, and it still sounded like what it sounded like. Y'all can stop with the 4D chess now.

At normal speed, it definitely sounds like the n-word. At slower speeds, it does sound like it could be "nakers". My wife thinks it still sounds like the n-word at any speed.

Yes, I've read about the Knicks connection, which is why I say it's possible for her to have said "knickers" - trying to switch Knicks into Lakers at the last second.

Or is this link meant to show me the origins behind the Knicks name, most likely deriving from "knickerbocker"? How am I meant to take this post, exactly?

How do you even get the N-word from what she was trying to say?

At first I heard the N word but then I heard Nakers. Now I can hear both depending on which one I'm listening for.

You can hear the nay, which sounds like nih because of the way she's saying it. I'm not hearing any g sounds.

People fusing words is very common, especially when talking fast.

TBH I can see it being 'Nakers' with her accent and she apparently did accidentally say 'Knicks' earlier. But I'm not an internet warrior.

This hasn't been picked up, so I'm guessing journalists are backing her up and not reporting it.

Im not sure what she said, myself, but I dont understand the 2 or 3 people in this topic who are saying Well, she might have said Nakers, but either way she should lose her job.

She probably worked her whole life to be in the position shes currently in, and you think she deserves to lose everything (no major news company will hire her if shes fired for something like this), just for a slip of the tongue.

Seems like a ridiculous viewpoint.

That being said, she probably will lose her job for this, so it doesnt really matter. Its just unfortunate for her if it was, as she said, an innocent mistake.
