'The Cincinnati Reds organization is devastated by the horrific, homophobic remark made this evening by broadcaster Thom Brennaman. He was pulled off the air, and effective immediately was suspended from doing Reds broadcasts,' the Reds wrote.
Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman used a homophobic slur during the first game of a Reds-Royals doubleheader on Fox Sports Ohio Wednesday night.Late Wednesday night, the Reds announced that Brennaman had been suspended.
A video circulating Wednesday night on social media caught the hot mic clip of Brennaman using the homophobic slur. "Jim Day's gonna be taking us the rest of the way through this game ... I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of," Brennaman said."If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith — as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos that will be a home run.
