00:00Doris Burke has been known as one of the best announcers in sports for a while now,
00:03but it appears that NBA fans are getting tired of her because there's a lot of people on social
00:06media who want her to be fired. Last night, she called game four of the Thunder vs. Timberwolves
00:10series, and let's just say a lot of fans didn't like the broadcast. One fan said,
00:15Doris Burke tonight, 100% crush on Gobert, I doubt it. One World War II joke and 134 cousin
00:20mentions. For those of you who don't know, the cousin mentions is referring to the fact that
00:24SGA and Nikhil Alexander-Walker are cousins, and people think Doris Burke brought it up too much.
00:28Another fan said, I hope ESPN goes bankrupt and Doris Burke never calls a game again. It is
00:33unbelievable how bad this broadcast is. A third fan said, SGA clearly got fouled by Gobert on the
00:38arm, but unprofessionally, Doris Burke called SGA a free throw merchant. There is no way she should
00:42be saying this on air. Shout out to RJ for sticking up and understanding. A fourth fan said, ESPN used
00:48to have so much aura, man. Now we're forced to listen to Doris Burke. Doris, don't worry about
00:52this one. Anyone who uses the word aura unironically is an absolute dork. A fifth fan simply said,
00:57Doris Burke should not have a job as an announcer. A sixth fan said, we really used to have it
01:02all. Now we got to listen to Doris Burke and Richard Jefferson, broken heart, crying. And last
01:07but not least, the fan said, starting a petition to get Doris Burke replaced with Tim Legler on the
01:10broadcast. Please like to sign the petition. As for my take on this, if you don't like the way
01:15Doris Burke is calling the game, instead of hopping on Twitter and saying she should be fired,
01:19grab your remote. It probably looks like this. There should be a button right there. It might say mute,
01:23or it might be a microphone with a cross through it. Tap that button. It'll turn off Doris's voice
01:27and you won't have to hear her anymore. In my opinion, Doris Burke does not need to be fired.
