Thom Brennaman has been removed from Fox Sports' NFL broadcasts after using a homophobic slur while calling a Cincinnati Reds-Kansas City Royals game on Wednesday night.
"FOX Sports is extremely disappointed with Thom’s remarks during Wednesday’s telecast," the network said in a statement, via Joe Reedy of the Associated Press. "The language used was abhorrent, unacceptable, and not representative of the values of FOX Sports. ... We are moving forward with our NFL schedule which will not include him.”
