College Sideline reporter named Kasey Funderburg has stepped down reportedly over old tweets. According to the report, she had some old tweets with the n-word in there.
The Spun has more;
“A Tennessee athletic department spokesperson told Knox News that she resigned from that role on Thursday. The 26-year-old UT graduate also served as an on-air host for VFL Films and weekly coaches call-in show “Vol Calls.” Her profile page on the UT website has been deleted.
She previously worked as a sideline reporter for digital basketball broadcasts on SEC Network+,” Awful Announcing reports.
According to reports, the sideline reporter had some old tweets in which she allegedly used the N-word.
It’s unclear what exactly led to Funderburg’s resignation at this time, though.
There was a petition to have Funderburg keep her job, with more than 1,000 signatures online, but that doesn’t appear to have made much of an impact.
They have started a petition to get her job back.
