Oklahoma City Sports Radio Host Terminated After Racist Comments from 2016 Off-Air Conversation Get Leaked


Longtime sports radio host Sam Mayes is out at Tyler Media’s 107.7 The Franchise in Oklahoma City after an off-air conversation from 2016 containing racist comments was recently leaked.

During a commercial break, Mayes discussed Native Americans and the push for Washington DC’s NFL franchise to rebrand from their derogatory moniker. The 2016 recording features Mayes and Tyler Media promotions director Cara Rice, who also hosts mornings on a sister station.

“What’s the excuse for the natives that they haven’t been fighting to get this thing changed forever?” Mayes asks in the recording.

“They’ve been too drunk to organize,” Rice answered.

Mayes responded with “hashtag Lysol,” to which Rice said “hashtag gold spray paint out of the trash,” as both hosts made references to huffing.

1. Rice didn't get fired too?

and they even know they stepped in it by talking about "a microphone left on"

2. Rice was fired:

Shortly after the 2016 audio was leaked, Mayes and Rice were both terminated by Tyler Media. Mayes responded to his firing over the weekend, with an audio statement claiming the 2016 conversation was “from my understanding obtained illegally, it was not a hot mic situation.”

3. this happened while employed by Tyler

using a microphone owned by Tyler? Possibly in the office owned by Tyler?

Bzzzt. Try again assholes. No expectation of privacy exists.

I would have fired them for being terminally stupid.

4. If you're not native you're an immigrant.
