A hot mike moment has cost Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman.
Brennaman has been suspended from working Cincinnati's games after using an anti-gay slur on air last night, prompting the team to apologize for the "horrific, homophobic remark."
Brennaman used the slur moments after the Fox Sports Ohio feed returned from a commercial break before the top of the seventh inning in the first game of a doubleheader at Kansas City. Brennaman did not seem to realize he was already on air. He later apologized.
Check out the slip below, his apology, and the Reds statement on Brennaman's suspension.
