Longtime Cincinnati Reds and Fox Sports broadcaster Thom Brennaman was suspended by the team on Thursday (NZ time) for uttering a homophobic slur on the air. During the first game of a Reds-Royals Major League Baseball doubleheader in Kansas City, Brennaman appeared to be unaware that Fox Sports Ohio had come out of a commercial break. "The team offered its "sincerest apologies to the LGBTQ+ community in Cincinnati, Kansas City, all across this country, and beyond." "Brennaman apologised to the Reds, Fox Sports Ohio, "the people who sign my paycheque" and "anybody that I've offended here tonight."
