Not bad, but he needs to reference "Count Fagula" and the liberal use of the "gay" drop.

Couple people have. He"s ( predictably) ignoring them.

It's 2020.

I'm surprised they didn't start the game over with new announcers.

A quick "back of a faǥ packet" estimate has about 85% likelihood the public demands total desctruction of the man.

Suspend him, make him apologize, have him donate to a LTGBQ+ organization and then get back to work.

You know, if the Royals challenged that the Reds announcers were homophobes, what would the Umpire hand signal be to uphold the ruling?

This is just the start of Thom’s story. I see a Brockmire-esque second half to his career.

sounds like someone set him up.

maybe he's an asshole to somebody and they got revenge.

he probably says these kind of things regulary so the guy/gal who was out to get him just waited for the right opportunity and pounded.

I think he was talking about another city but the mic came on mid sentence.

Suspend him for 20 games and get on with life. Fox can fire him. Most Reds fans are hillbillies who agree with him.

He should be fired for the “that’s not who I am” part of the apology. How you talk when you don’t think anyone is listening is, in fact, who you are.

The mlb.tv stream does not play local commercials so sometimes it comes back 3-4 seconds early. On today's second Cub game, it was about six seconds at least once.

The thing is, you and FF made a good point.

It’s entirely reasonable to say something like “That city has a thriving gay community.”

Who says what Brenneman said? Even if the mic didn’t catch it, he still was technically saying that at work.

This is the sort of dystopian bullying that the world's liberal democracies used to mock as unrealistic.

Homos need to get over it. Have a sense of humour. The unending race between black people and gays to be the most fragile and easily offended groups is nauseating.

How long before a gay Reds employee comes out of the closet and sues saying Brennemans comments made for a hostile work environment ?

In the silence leading up to it, is someone talking to him in the headset? It felt like we were hearing one side of a conversation.

Based on your fear mongering and daily whining about what the world is trying to do to white men, I would say that you're in the lead. It's not even close. Congrats!

Also, you're in America now, spell the words like an American. You don't get extra credit for typing like a foreigner.

Can't really sue for anything other than publicity unless the corporations involve fail to follow their HR policies and procedures.

Good point . The person he may have been talking to, anyone who overheard it and laughed or stayed silent , their families , team mascot , custodial personnel , anyone in the viewing audience all need to account for this along with their communist party affiliations , natch

Someone probably baited him into saying burrito knowing his mic was on. Tale as old as time.

i agree. cancel all the men involved and replace them with womyn. a side note, it would be a real shame for someone to dive in to devan's past tweets if there were any misogynistic ones.... a real shame

Apology, suspension, sensitivity training and donation to a burrito charity.

Firing is crazy.
