Thom Brennaman says fans want him to return to TV one year after gay slur incident

New York Post

The former Major League Baseball and NFL on Fox play-by-play announcer lost his jobs last year after he was caught on hot mic using a gay slur while calling a Cincinnati Reds game. In an interview with Sports Business Journal, Brennaman says: “If I’m in the grocery or getting a cup of coffee at the local convenient shop, 99% of those I bump into, I’ll hear, ‘We wish you were back, we miss you!’ Let’s say it’s even 90%. Are execs going to make a decision to appease the 10%? Wouldn’t you listen to the massive 90%?”
