2K Halftime Announcer Damon Bruce in Hot Water Over Rant on Women


Damon Bruce is in hot water over a segment which called out women in sports. Bruce's comments have caused quite a bit of controversy locally, with advertisers and listeners complaining about his diatribe. There is much speculation that his show is in trouble in the San Francisco market. As you may know, Bruce has been the voice of NBA 2K's halftime show for some time -- so its very possible this could end up costing him his gig with 2K Sports as well.

We'll be keeping an eye out for any news on this front! Do you think his rant is worthy of him losing his show and other things like his 2K halftime voice gig?

No...well if he loses his gig in San Fran...it will give him AMPLE time to add more commentary to 2k15..lol.

On the real I dont know what he said...but if it's along the lines of "nappy headed h03$" then he's in alot of trouble.

If it's any worse than what David Pollack said on national television, he might be in some trouble

Couldn't care less if he's off the 2K gig. He's such a negligible part of the game, I wouldn't even care if the whole half-time report was removed.

Re: 2K Halftime Announcer Damon Bruce in Hot Water Over Rant on Women

The Damon Bruce Show is one of the most entertaining sports talk radio shows to listen to because he crosses the line all the time. I don't know what this particular thing was that he said and I'll start to dig into it, but I'm sure it's just classic Damon.

Too bad, I really like him. To those who haven't heard it before, you should give it a listen (the show, I mean).

Well, you might not be able to anymore...

EDIT: Just listened to the segment. It was very Damon-like so it wasn't out of the ordinary. Super inappropriate, though. Because it's Damon and because it's not unexpected, I would have kept him his job but slapped him on the wrist. I know that if KNBR keeps him though, that's bad representation on their end. So I think they're covering their own asses.
