Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman apologized on-air for hot mic homophobic slur

Why bait him in? He hasn’t even been here in this thread to ruin it. You and him should both get the boot.

He's obsessed with him obviously. Think people kinda seeing what has been pointed out.

Brennaman is pretty bigtime though, does FOX NFL games too. Would be surprised if he gets totally cancelled but could be wrong.

He is done but how would he know that to be true? Did he go cruising in KC on road trips?

It wasn't said he was referring to KC I thought? It wasn't known what city he was referencing.

Ah.I just saw the video on twitter. Tough way to lose an easy job.

Tough way to lose an easy job.

Easy way to lose a job you worked hard for and dedicated your life to.

He’ll do an apology tour and be hired somewhere small down the road.

If this were a few years ago, I might agree with you. But the landscape of things has changed quite drastically recently.

He will be able to find work down the road. But I'd be shocked if he ever does play by play for an MLB team again. That's over.

This ain't your Marge Schott owned Reds.

 

[KennyB]

People are so fucking soft today. I say big deal.

[hockey7251]

Damn! I read the article that they posted but it didn’t have exactly what he said. That’s pretty bad.

 

[joebatters]

I wonder what would've happened if he'd said he was talking about cigarettes.

 

[Dr.Love]

I wonder what would've happened if he'd said he was talking about cigarettes.

He would have made it worse. On top of his "sin", he would have added pathetic liar to his resume.

Only move for him and his career was to own it.

 

[bigbet1234]

Who hasn’t said something like that? Really? Or something they regret?

If I had a cake job like that and the money it paid I’d been more careful.

Him and his dad Marty use to announce together at times before he retired and every Father’s Day.

Waiting to see what Marty says about it.

 

[joebatters]

Yeah, definitely don't want to see the legacy end like that.
This has to be rough for Marty.

Look at all these guys defending why I was banned last week.



I appreciate the support guys.

But in all seriousness, he did say “fag capital of the world”

I was confused by that....were they playing the Giants? Is Cinci another “fag capital” ?

Everyone has. And of course he shouldn't lose his job for one slur blunder.

But that's not the world we live in these days.

Apparently it's not clear where he was talking about. I don't think the complete context of the conversation was caught by the mics.

He was doing the Reds/Royals game in KC yesterday though when the blunder occurred.

Didn’t know who it was until I heard his voice, and this dude is born for this. Wtf else is he going to do?

Not anymore. Fox officially took him off NFL games.
