Boston Red Sox star Jarren Duran has issued an apology after being caught on a hot mic using a homophobic slur.
With his back turned at home plate during the game’s sixth inning, Duran directed the insult at a fan who appeared to be heckling him.Following the game, the Red Sox issued a statement on behalf of Duran. The Red Sox organization issued a statement of their own, saying the team “addressed this incident with Jarren immediately following today’s game.”
The organization did not announce whether Duran will be in the lineup when the Red Sox open a three-game homestand against the Texas Rangers on Monday, August 12 or how Duran plans to “educate” himself. “Sorry but written apologies are no longer acceptable from professional athletes who loudly use homophobic slurs,” Yahoo Sports’ Liz Roscher wrote via X.
