The longtime play-by-play man for the Cincinnati Reds exited the broadcast booth Wednesday and begged for forgiveness after video showed him using a homophobic slur on a hot mic earlier in the day.
“One of the f-g capitals of the world,” Thom Brennaman said on the Fox Sports Ohio TV broadcast during the first game of a scheduled doubleheader between the Reds and Royals in Kansas City.
A few seconds passed before Brennaman, seemingly unaware his comment was made on-air, recited a promo for the network’s pregame show.
The 56-year-old later exited the second game after videos of the incident made the rounds on social media, and issued an apology while looking directly into the camera for parts of it.

He’s Out.
Bump
STOP APOLOGIZING!!
geez
The real question is, was he wrong? When most of us think of Fag cities we think of San Francisco.
He’s 56?
LOL
He looks older...ish
Oh good God! Who the hell cares. Maybe he’s gay and likes it.
Fact check: True
Put on a hockey game earlier. There was a donation for black queers lesbians, trannies etc so they can get text books in schools. Or so it seemed. The announcer said ‘What a great cause.” What about white Christians?

See Blazing Saddles gif above for the Kansss City faggot line
He should just say he is....and that he was just talking smack to his homies.
Kind of like how blacks get a pass when calling each other the n word.
Fire him and bring in Brockmire.
It’s only a matter of time before that movie gets banned.
Watched it a couple weeks ago. Good flick.
First thought... Blazing Saddles. Second thought... the mic is always hot.
Slim Pickens really could deliver the lines!
I’m 53 and I have to admit I never knew that. Of course I know about places like SF, Seattle, Denver, West Hollywood, and Key West. But never knew about KC. Guess I won’t be putting it on my bucket list.
Oh well...
I thought KC had those “pretty little women” and good Kansas City wine.
BraBra Streisand has used that same slur in a staged comedic outtake from the set of Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom.
Hot mic? What’s that?

“I feel like a ****** doing it this way” (as Barbra flails Harrison Ford with a whip but doing it limp wristed so as not to actually hurt him).
What a jerk.
He should have stuck to baseball. No one cares about his personal opinions.
