I can't see how he escapes that one. Sadly can't feel any sympathy...Not a decent thing to say.

Some teams would fire him, rightly so, doubt the Reds do.
Go Gators!

It's the last five innings of his Reds career. Pretty much no way around it. Fox too likely. Wow.

Thom won’t be the only one. Whatever producer that allows him to feel comfortable enough to say that off air should be gone too.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Shuddering at the prospect of hate listening to exactly seven minutes of the inevitable Thom Brennaman podcast.

Pretty uncomfortable watching this game with Thom. Gotta believe he already knows about it and I would imagine it is kind of like watching the Titanic go down as the band still plays.

I know a guy that was called a “***” by Marty
What would you say.....ya do here?
There are a lot of homophobic people in the world. Few of them are dumb enough to say that in front of a potentially hot mic. Almost makes me wonder if he was set up.
Stick to your guns.

How is he still announcing this game? Surely Fox and the Reds have got wind of it....

Surprised they haven't pulled him from this game. It's highly awkward. Let Jim Day put him out of his misery.
Sorry that I may have taken your previous post about how you didn't want it to end for the organization, his family, him or his kids that way while not addressing the hateful ****ty thing he actually said as "excusing his behavior."
Actually, **** that, I'm not sorry. It's exactly what you did. You only worried about the Reds, his family, and Thom himself.
Jeff Passan just tweeted about it and it’s trending. He goneeeee.
