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.

Does it matter?

As far as the appropriateness of his slur? Of course not.

That doesn't mean some people aren't curious as to what place he was referring to. Relax. I was just answering the guy's question.

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?

Exactly. It’s all over the radio and talk radio here.

They should make him where a pink dress and serve wine spritzers at Pride next year. Lol

He will get hired at Liberty U or Hillsdale or some other private, conservative, Jeezus-centric college where homosexuality is considered a crime.

Not surprising that you are lying again in here.

You're too stupid to realize that people are going to call you out for your lying.

Let's be consistent. If this guy loses his job for that comment, then Popovich should lose his job for calling the President a racist, fascist.

Why is it that the left has to be the regulators of what speech is disallowed?

The party of tolerance, my ass.

Most of these guys just use the cool buzzwords of the day but Pop actually tries to elaborate on stuff sometimes and he just sounds like an idiot. His account of the Michael Brown situation was pure fiction and didn't jibe with the DOJ investigation at all. He was basically making stuff up, almost as if he had it confused with another case. Saw this a week ago because it was the 6yr anniversary and he brought it up in presser.

Joebatters is right. Watch British TV they say fag all the time referring to cigarettes.

For someone as experienced as Thom it is mind boggling that he would say that over any mic. You never know who is in the production truck. It could be some guy delivering beverages. He hears it and files a complaint. You basically threw away two jobs that he was probably earning in the $700,000+ a year range. Remember he was #3 team at Fox NFL. I don't know what he was paid it could have been much more. He had a lot of seniority. He was only in his mid-fifties so this misstep probably cost him millions of dollars
