One of the most famous and veteran baseball broadcasters in the United States, Thom Bernaman, was suspended last night (Thursday) following the homophobic woods he blew into a microphone during an MLB game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Kansas City Royals. Bernaman has been working as a journalist for more than 25 years, and since 2007 has served as the home broadcaster in the game of Hards.
Bernaman's problematic remarks were made during the channel's introduction to the game. The veteran broadcaster referred to some location as "the gay capital of the world," using the offensive word "fag." The broadcaster tried to claim that he thought the microphone was closed, but that did not help him and his repulsive remark went viral very quickly.

Brenman was quick to issue an apology: "Earlier tonight I made a remark that I was very ashamed of. If I hurt anyone, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I'm really, really, really sorry." Regarding his continuation as a broadcaster, Brenaman said: "I do not know if I will ever wear these headphones again. I want to apologize to Hoods, to my managers, to those who sign my salary, to my colleagues and to everyone I hurt tonight. It's not who I am. I'm really sorry and I beg your pardon. "
The Cincinnati Reds said they were "devastated by the same homophobic remarks" and announced that Bramman would be suspended from broadcasting the team's games. "I sincerely apologize to the LGBT community and the community in Cincinnati, Kansas City and in general throughout the state."
