Cincinnati Reds announcer Thom Brennaman said a homophobic slur between innings during a game Wednesday night, leading to his removal from the broadcast for the remainder of the game.

Ahead of the seventh inning in the Cincinnati team’s game against the Kansas City Royals, Brennaman was heard saying the slur.

During the second game of the team's doubleheader, Brennaman apologized for the slur on the air.

“I made a comment earlier tonight, that I guess went out over the air, that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can’t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry,” Brennaman said.

“I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith,” he said, before stopping to announce a home run in the game.

“I can’t begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am and it never has been," he continued. "I’d like to think maybe I could have some people that can back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness,” he said.

Or that Kobe used in an altercation with ref.

If it wasn't "faggot" (another article said it was "fag", I would have gone with "homo", as the announcer is the right age for that to be the more common term used when he was growing up in the mid-70s. Last heard by NY Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey insulting coach "Bill Parcells, that homo".

This “I’m deeply ashamed” and “not who I am crap” is so pathetic. You know what? If you said it, own it. You’re already fired, so why not accept that like a man and say something like, “Today, I was caught using impolite slang to note the prominence of homosexual community in Kansas City. I said it. I stand by it.”

"Fag" is just "Gay" spelled backwards.   (Almost, you filthy yags!)

Never let anyone except those close to you and whom you trust know what you really think.

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

Try and think like the people around you think. How they see a situation and their motives.

Spend time with your family because a man who doesn’t can never be a real man.

Women and children can afford to be careless. Not men.

Keep out of it...that one is HARD!! I’ve wanted to BEAT my BIL to a pulp for yelling at my sister and making her cry. She called me hysterical like Connie did to sonny.

My girl at the time wrapped her arms around my leg begging me not to go.

Going would have been the wrong move.

The Godfather was right...don’t interfere. In the end, they make up and they BOTH hate you.
Great movies and a lot of life lessons to be learned.

Radio Announcer: “Good night kiddies, g-o-o-d night!”

“Are we off the air? Good. Well That aught to hold the little bastards!”

OH WAIT! That was a radio announcer from another era of the past.

All an apology will get you is fired and lynched. Unless its your wife, or the lord Jesus Christ, never ever apologize! You lost your jon Tommy! Because in this day and age, forgiving is unforgivable!

Well, sometimes you hire people to work on railroad track, and then they start to jump around...
