Fox said Brennaman's remarks were 'abhorrent, unacceptable, and not representative of the values of Fox Sports.' 9WWOS

Thom Brennaman will not be calling NFL games on Fox after using an anti-gay slur on air during a Cincinnati Reds broadcast.

Brennaman had been a part of Fox's NFL announcer lineup since they started televising the league in 1994. He was part of the No. 3 announcer team last season and was paired with analyst Chris Spielman and reporter Shannon Spake. He had also called Major League Baseball games for the network from 1996 to 2014.

Brennaman, who had been a part of the Reds announcing team since 2007, used the slur moments after Fox Sports Ohio's feed returned from a commercial break before the top of the seventh inning in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday at Kansas City. Brennaman did not seem to realise he was already on air. The remarks prompted a firestorm on social media.
