In Ohio, the Cincinnati Reds Major League Baseball team has suspended veteran broadcaster Thom Brennaman after he was caught on a hot mic making an anti-gay slur. Brennaman’s comment on Fox Sports Ohio came after a commercial break during a doubleheader Wednesday between the Reds and the Kansas City Royals. Later in the broadcast, Brennaman issued this apology before handing over his duties to another play-by-play announcer.

Thom Brennaman: “I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of.”

In a statement, Cincinnati’s baseball team said, “The Reds organization is devastated by the horrific, homophobic remark.”
