"One of the fag capitals of the world."

Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman used a gay slur during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals.

The moment occurred as the Fox Sports Ohio broadcast came back from a commercial break during the seventh inning. As the game prepared to resume, an unprompted Brennaman said, "one of the f-- capitals of the world."

During the fifth inning of the second game of the twin bill, Brennaman apologized for his remarks, stating, "I don't know if I'll be putting on this headset again," before turning over play-by-play duties for the remainder of the contest to Jim Day.
