Fox Sports will not include Thom Brennaman in its NFL broadcast team this fall after he was heard using an anti-LGBTQ slur on a hot mic Wednesday.
"FOX Sports is extremely disappointed with Thom Brennaman's remarks during Wednesday's Cincinnati Reds telecast," the network said in a statement, per USA Today's Chris Bumbaca. "The language used was abhorrent, unacceptable, and not representative of the values of FOX Sports. As it relates to Brennaman's FOX NFL role, we are moving forward with our NFL schedule which will not include him."
Brennaman, the Reds' play-by-play announcer, also calls Fox NFL games.
