Baseball Announcer drops Gay Slur in hot mic, you won't believe how the apology goes
- Thread starter Bigkrev

What was he even talking about? What kind of conversation you can just say that shit so blatantly?! just boggles my mind. Hopefully he's gone for good. He said that shit too easily. probably drops it all the time. Fucking old ass frat boy.
The "its not who I am" shit always gets me. Like what the fuck do you mean??? If its not who you are it wouldn't have left your fucking mouth you bigot. And the way he said it. That was conviction in your hatred of gay people.
The producer should be fired as well, for pulling the camera away from him mid-segment and going back to the ballgame.
I'd be embarrassed if people at work found out I melt my ice cream in the microwave and this guy's casually dropping slurs during a televised broadcast seconds before going on the air.
Religions have an awesome record regarding gay issues, haven't you heard?
Was he talking to someone and his microphone got turned on without him noticing? Kinda feels like he was just sitting there and then blurted it out for no particular reason.
Lol the religious excuse
Fuck right off you hateful piece of shit and to interrupt your "apology" for a home run makes me think this was not sincere at all.

It's the opening chapter in the, bigots refuse to take responsibility handbook.
Exactly. OF COURSE he's a "man of faith". Have the other Jesus freaks already taken to Twitter to defend him yet?
It is a pretty outdated way of thinking from him.
Religions stopped pretending to be homophobic years ago. It is all out in the open now so what he said doesn't even slightly defend his actions.
He may as well have said the ghost of Marge Schott rose from hell and momentarily possessed him. As a bi man who has been called that word more times than I can count, I'd have put more stock in a wild-eyed excuse like that than his "man of faith" defense.
lol yeah.
It's way easier to take that as "this is why I'm homophobic" than "I'm not homophobic because".
I'm actually impressed with his ability to faux-apologize, call a game, and slide back into his lies and pandering without missing a beat.
His last homerun call as a broadcaster will be a memorable one at least. Got fired in the 5th inning. Fucking great.
Interrupting his apology to call a HR is something straight out of Brockmire.
He put his back into the word, full-on emphasis. This is a dude who needs to be fired, like, tonight.
"That's not who I am" is such a common excuse because people who are gullible or apathetic will be happy to accept it and move on. And it also spins sympathy toward yourself as though you were possessed or influenced at the time.
That's not who I am, it just happened to me and I'm sorry!
