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 āwasnāt pcā and told āhard truths.ā His show was basically Tucker Carlson for Sports. He talked over his guests. He hung up on callers if they were intelligent and he couldnāt āownā 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 Iād 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 āpcā part. Decided against leaving it up. Always the same leftist garbage.
Iāll just say this.
Itās 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 donāt want debate or discussion. They want censorship. They donāt 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. Iāve been banging this drum for a long time. I didnāt 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 wasnāt just this one incident. If he were a good guy, didnāt have the history he has and was liked/respected he would have survived this. Itās never just one thing.

He also said TRobās 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. Weāve 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 donāt like Fescoe, but at least Bob isnāt 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 KKās 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 āsubtweetedā about KK. He is the definition of a prick.
You come here, to a site where we constantly debate, and say many of us donāt want debate lol. Go preach you leftist stereotype elsewhere, because youāre certainly not talking about this group.

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

@BShark
arm strength! Perfect reaction too. Turned Brady into the punchline.

I donāt really know much of KK. Iām 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. Iām just not sure how it relates to the topic at hand.

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