KGO-TV sports anchor Mike Shumann was called home from San Antonio by the station last week after being seen taking a jacket belonging to a Warriors official, according to a report.
The act occured after a Warriors practice in San Antonio and was captured on video, The Athletic reported.
“We are taking these allegations very seriously and conducting a full investigation. As a matter of policy, we do not comment about personnel matters,” a spokesman for the station said Monday.
A Warriors spokesman said the team also had no comment.
The jacket belonged to Ralph Walker, the director of team security. Video cameras at the AT&T Center in San Antonio recorded Shumann taking the jacket. It is not known if Shumann has been disciplined, but he was not part of KGO’s postgame coverage Sunday.
The Athletic reported that Shumann attempted to apologize “to several members of the team” and that “several prominent players have voiced” concerns and will not “brush the incident aside.”
Shumann had no comment when reached Monday at home by The Athletic.
Shumann, 62, played wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers from 1978-79 and 1981, when they won their first Super Bowl. According to his KGO bio he has been a sports anchor at the station since 1994. Per the Athletic, Shumann is in the final year of his contract with the station.
