Cincinnati Reds announcer Thom Brennaman uttered an offensive, homophobic slur while calling the Reds game Wednesday … apparently not realizing his microphone was on.
Brennaman — who was announcing a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals — was heard referring to a city as “one of the f** capitals of the world.”

Seconds later he snapped back into announcer mode and read a promo for the Reds Live Pregame Show … as if nothing had happened.
But viewers were SHOCKED … and the clip went viral on social media in a matter of minutes.
56-year-old Brennaman has been calling MLB games since the 90’s and has been the featured play-by-play broadcaster for major events like the BCS National Championship Game, the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, the 2008 Sugar Bowl … even the 2011 Pro Bowl.
He’s been working with the Reds since 2006.
