Reds Broadcaster Thom Brennaman Suspended for Using Anti-Gay Slur.
Once upon a time, when I was just starting in Radio, someone offered me the best advice they could ever give me, and that was always pretend that the mic is ‘hot’… Thom Brennaman, who has been in broadcasting longer than I have been alive… forgot that.
You can easily find the video of what he said on the internet, I don’t want to post the video on here, but essentially called Kansas City “the f%$ capitol of the world”… Here we go again.
All of us here at Sports Talk condemn the words and sentiments of what he said, we believe there is absolutely no room in sports and sports broadcasting for things like this.
The Reds immediately suspended him and the team also released a statement about the incident.

Should he be fired? Was this apology enough?
