Longtime Cincinnati Reds announcer Thom Brennaman was caught on a hot mic saying “one of the pillowbiter capitals of the world.” He is currently announcing the second game of the Reds’ doubleheader against Kansas City. pic.twitter.com/Uwz07eRIKv

But the push-to-talk could get stuck . . . so mind your tongue.
And Thom has been in the business for decades, so how could he make such a stupid mistake?
Anyway, he got suspended. Hopefully that's the end of it.
He's getting fired. I guarantee it. They will do an investigation and they'll talk to people that work with him a lot and find out that he's a huge homophobe and that this is a constant thing with him. It's also possible that he's been reported before and because of who he is it was swept under the rug, but they can't do that this time. He gone [Reply]

You're a dumbass to call this cancel culture. Hey don't use slurs on television it isn't hard. You start by not using these slurs when you aren't on television. [Reply]
