Napear, who insists he did not know that “All Lives Matter” is a phrase often used to belittle the Black Lives Matter movement, became choked up at times when talking with The Post while defending himself against the notion he was denouncing the black community and has racist views. “It makes me feel sick to my stomach because it is absolutely the opposite of who I am,” he said. “I am 60 years old. I will let the track record of my life and what I’ve done for my community and what I’ve done. … People who know me, of all races, I’ll let them tell the story.”
“I said something like, ‘I don’t know if Donald Sterling is a racist, I don’t know, but what I do know is it is very interesting that, as the owner of the basketball team, he has a black general manager and a black head coach.’ That’s what was the context of the conversation. Until I read [the Sterling reference] in The Post [earlier this week], I had to go back and ask some coworkers to refresh where this even came from because it caught me off guard. I never ever defended Donald Sterling and the charges. Not one time.”
There also was a tweet in 2018, in which Napear agreed with a Twitter user who said they didn’t want to see protests at football games, a reference to former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling years earlier to protest police brutality.
To that, Napear said, “When I go to a play on Broadway, I want to go see a performance. I don’t want to see any political statements being made or any social issues because that’s not why I’m going. I have no problem with people protesting.”
