He finally crossed a line far enough people could complain and get him fired.
Kk was hated by all, including hosts at his own station that he is part owner. He has not one, but two twitter parody accounts. No other radio show host I think he city has a single one lol. People hated him.
He was the type of guy who âwasnât pcâ and told âhard truths.â His show was basically Tucker Carlson for Sports. He talked over his guests. He hung up on callers if they were intelligent and he couldnât âownâ them. The only segment worth listening to was when he had Mizzou fan Jack Harry on every week, and he would get Jack so worked up it seemed like they were about to fight then and there in the studio. This happened every week.
I never thought Iâd see the day KK got fired due to his ownership stake in the station. You could tell he felt invincible as his takes continually walked a line (a lot of racist implications, stopping just short of saying black athletes should just be grateful). But he should have known that in his business, there is no such thing as being invincible.
This was long overdue.

Edit
I made long post basically saying that @Kcmatt7 was completely full of it, except of the âpcâ part. Decided against leaving it up. Always the same leftist garbage.
Iâll just say this.
Itâs easy for cowards to pile on him now. But he transformed KC sports radio. Before Kietzman, this town was stuck with a few hours of Don Fortune on 980 KMBZ.
Leftists themselves are cowards. They donât want debate or discussion. They want censorship. They donât want uncomfortable opinions voiced. They desire those voices to be silenced. Again, cowards.
And because Kietzman was not a leftist, leftists relish in the fact he has lost his job.

He was a KC sports radio pioneer, he was also a known racist. Iâve been banging this drum for a long time. I didnât listen to his program, I purposefully avoided 810 sponsors and encouraged others to do the same.
Also I will just add it is remarkable that there is next to no one out there saying he was a stand up guy and that this an unfortunate situation/mistake. There are reasons he was widely unliked within not only the station but the KC sports media/scene in general. There are many stories you can find of him being a complete chud. Also keep in mind that it obviously wasnât just this one incident. If he were a good guy, didnât have the history he has and was liked/respected he would have survived this. Itâs never just one thing.

He also said TRobâs little sister was a lucky lil girl after their mom died, because of the fund set up.

I have been all over Keitzman for years. Weâve made how many mentions about him on this board?
Take politics out of it and say one nice thing about Keitzmans show. He was a terrible interviewer, unless you like two guys trying to yell over each other. He was an asshole to every guest he ever had on. He was always quick to hang up in callers. He ALWAYS gets the last word. And he got his ass kicked in ratings by Danny and C-Dot for two years because his show has no substance. I donât like Fescoe, but at least Bob isnât a dick constantly. And he has a very similar stance in issues as KK. He could have said the same thing and 10 people would have came to his aid and he would have kept his job.
NOBODY in KKâs own field stood up for him. No sports figures stood up for him. Not another one of the 8 radio personalities at the station said anything. Petro routinely âsubtweetedâ about KK. He is the definition of a prick.
You come here, to a site where we constantly debate, and say many of us donât want debate lol. Go preach you leftist stereotype elsewhere, because youâre certainly not talking about this group.

Courage â and the lack thereof â is independent of ideology.

@BShark
arm strength! Perfect reaction too. Turned Brady into the punchline.
-
I donât really know much of KK. Iâm from central Kansas, but I do think he crossed the line listening to the clip. I agree with @HighEliteMajor about censorship, leftists are kicking rightwing folks off of campus, not debating them, not that I care because their all corrupt to me. Iâm just not sure how it relates to the topic at hand.

Kietzman was constantly over the line. If he didnât have an ownership stake, he would have been canned years ago.
Heâs lucky he lasted as long as he did.
