Philly Radio Host Gets All Homophobic In Email Fight With Listener [Updates]

Mike Missanelli is the host of a drive-time sports radio show on Philadelphia radio station 97.5 The Fanatic. His bio page is full of plaudits—"Mike's sports acumen, witty pop-cultural references and overall fun persona are just a few of the many factors that draw listeners to the show and helped him ascend to #1"—but according to a series of emails that a tipster shared with us, the producers at The Fan might want to consider adding "homophobic asshole" to that list of descriptors.

One of Mike's listeners recently got into a drawn-out email fight with Missanelli, and the radio host did not come off as very swell guy. To be fair, we should point out that our tipster did not share his end of the exchange (See update below) with us, but we assume he's a huge asshole, too. Here are the messages Missanelli sent one of his listeners:

Hahaha. Yeah, you're a total computer geek loser with absolutely NO female involvement. Anybody who wastes four hours of the day listening to my radio show and sending e-mail from fake names has a a big "L" tattooed on his forehead. Women probably avoid you like stink. (BTW, what are you gonna do today with me off? Jerkoff to one of my podcasts, you obsessive homosexual IT freak?)

Yeah, Sure. You're whole life is a lie. Insecure people are usually like that. You are a 24 karat loser. And totally in denial because to take inventory of that would hurt you too much. You're an obsessive weird-o and probably a closet homosexual.

Dude, your shit is boring. And if you dont think that abnormal behavior is someone who listens four hours a day to a guy he suppoedly loathes and then wastes more time sending abusive emails under fake names, then more power to you. I would first deal with your latent homosexuality problem.

Yeah. Sure. Two words: latent homosexuality. Discuss it with a mental health professional.

I think that's why your engagement broke up. Your fiancée realized you don't like women that much. That's why you lie about your "prowess." You are a lonely loser who can't get a date. So come out of the closet and I guarantee you'll get male dates.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. YOU, getting tough with ME? Hahahahahahaha. Dude, I would fucking PRAY to say those things to your face. Hahahahaha.

By the way, your obsession with me is unhealthy. You are a latent homosexual. But sorry to tell you, Im straight, so fuck off.

Dude, find yourself a nice guy out there in Vegas. Just don't tell your parents back east that you're really gay.

Family dinner was yesterday douche bag. Headed out now. Blue Bayou. And you? Lemme guess: trying to find another hooker you think you can have sex with only to come up impotent again because you're really homosexual and in denial? Yeah, got that about right...

Dude, you're a total fucking fraud. You fix computers. End of fucking story. Plus you are a lonely loser. Have to be to be so obsessed and jealous of me. The unfortunate part about your "date" tonight is that obviously she's going to be embarrassed when you can't get it up because you're a closet homosexual. Just give into it bro to avoid the embarrassment.
Aside from being homophobic, Missanelli's burns are desperately lacking in creativity. How many times can you go to the "you're a latent homosexual" well, man?

Update: Our tipster sent along some more emails, and this time he included his end:

From: [redacted]
To: mikemiss

I'm sure your radio bosses love that their host expresses bigotry and tosses around gay slurs. Hahaha. You're lucky that I dont care enough to get you fired and am too busy with other things. I NEVER listen to your show, btw.

From: mikemiss@975thefanatic.co
To: [redacted]

And if you dont think that abnormal behavior is someone who listens four hours a day to a guy he suppoedly loathes and then wastes more time sending abusive emails under fake names, then more power to you. I would first deal with your latent homosexuality problem.
From: [redacted]
To: mikemiss@975thefanatic.com

Let's see. I called you an unmarried 60 year old who lives alone and hangs on to the same girlfriend. Tell me what I am incorrect about. (Did you really just call me a homosexual three emails in a row? What is wrong with you? I could get you fired if I wanted. But you're a nice enough guy that I wont.)

From: mikemiss
To: [redacted]

Hahaha. Bro, you have no idea about my life. That's what's really amusing. And yet, I know about your life based on you wasting four hours a day obsessing about my show and taking the time to make up fake names and send abuive e-mails. Hahaha. You are an obsessive, latent homosexual weird-o who fixes computers. Hahaha. So .
From: [redacted]
To: mikemiss

I dont even listen to your show. Your several homosexual insults indicate a great hatred towards the gay community. It might be time to open your eyes and stop being closed-minded.

From: mikemiss@975thefanatic.com
To: [redacted]

Don't hate gay people at all. Just think you should come out of the closet. You have an obsession with me.
From: [redacted]
To: mikemiss

Let me ask you. Why do you hate gay people? You know it's the year 2013?

From: mikemiss
To: [redacted]

Dude, you are without question a latent homosexual. Not that there's anything wrong with that. You have an obsession with me. I just think you need to deal with it.
Update No. 2:

Another reader just forwarded us an email that Missanelli sent him in June of 2011. It reads:

On Friday, June 10, 2011 3:53 PM,

Well then.

Good choice by Radio guy to correspond with him!

WITH the Radio station address, too.

you know, one issue i have is the blanket usage of the term "homophobic" to cover people's "go fuck off you stupid [british slang for cigarette]!" generalizations about posterior afiocionados.

methinks that calling people who outwardly dislike gay people "homophobic" is a means of control/dominance where you're trying to imply that they're afraid of homosexuality, cuz, hey let's call a spade a spade here: you're obviously afraid that you're gay as shit (and by my PECOTA-caliber metrics, shit is indeed pretty gay) -- so the en masse adoption of "homophobic" as the term to describe someone who's ostentatiously against gay people is a bit of psychological warfare in which the oppressees get one over on the oppressors via the built in insinuation that someone's only really against the whole gay thing because they're secretly super gay themselves and guilty of textbook psychological displacement.

that's a whole lot of bullshit, IMO.... can't we as a society come up with a better term to assign to people who openly and outwardly despise homosexuals? are we not capable of a better semantical workout than doing the whole "anyone who hates gays only hates them cuz they're really gay themselves" thing?

or is it kind of one of those thursday @ 5pm "just take it" situations? pun lamentably kind of intended =D

I don't remember the specifics of that only that it was funny. Take us on a trip through memory lane.

97.5 released a statement on Tuesday regarding the incident.

"We are aware of the email communications between Mike and one of his listeners. This individual has been harassing Mike by email for several years, which is cause for concern, and we are working with Mike to try to identify this person and stop the abuse. However, that does not excuse Mike’s conduct. The content of his emails is unacceptable and does not reflect our values as a company. Mike has been suspended and understands that future similar conduct will not be tolerated."
Harrassing by email


I guarantee he asks for emails every day. Is this whole industry tone deaf?

Bernstien is paying close attention to this.
