The Reds have suspended veteran announcer Thom Brennaman after his use of a homophobic slur went out over the air during the first game of a Wednesday doubleheader in Kansas City.
The Fox Sports Ohio feed had returned from a commercial break several seconds before Brennaman (unaware he was on the air) said the phrase "one of the fag capitals of the world". A few seconds later, he read a promo before the top of the seventh. It is unclear what Brennaman was referring to.
Thom Brennaman (reds play by play announcer) just casually drops a huge homophobic slur live on air without realizing his mic was hot pic.
