Who would have thought KC was a fag town? SF, NYC, Key West, Atlanta I figured. But KC?
Well, you know....the chaps and the spurs and all...

Perhaps he was referring to the number of smokers in KC. He simply used the British synonym for cigarette. What's the big deal?
In all seriousness, we have to move beyond this permanent ostracizing of people for using a word that is deemed offensive.
Do we really want to live in a society where people are 'wished into the cornfield' and deemed unable to ever make a living again over uttering a word? How about just issuing an apology, making a donation to a charity and moving on?
On the flip side of this; an actual elected official in Minnesota can show up in a suburban neighborhood with a bullhorn outside of the home of a police union chief and use threatening, racial invective towards him, his family and towards all of the white residents in the town with no consequences whatsoever.

they always forget the microphone is on Ir is the producer’s job to make sure the announcer knows when he is live.
If Brennaman is fired the producer should be going with him.
He has cost the radio channel a skilled and loved sports caster.
Apparently the producer cut in the microphone early and did not give Brennaman a “count down to live”.
