Thom Brennaman Speaks About Suspension, Using Anti-Gay Slur on Reds Broadcast

Thom Brennaman has spoken publicly for the first time since being suspended for using an anti-gay slur on the air during an Aug. 19 game between the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals.

In an interview with Mark Fischer of the New York Post, Brennaman said he knows "there are a lot of people who are still very angry and I understand that."

Brennaman was heard saying (warning: NSFW language) "one of the f-g capitals of the world" on his microphone. He later apologized on the air before being replaced during the game by Jim Day.
