The man made a mistake and he owned it. Yet, there is a group of mouth breathing idiots that want his life to be ruined over it. Willing to bet anyone calling for him to be fired or wanting to come down on him for it would never survive their own life being put on a hot mic or under a microscope.
Should he be suspended, yes, but it should in no way impact his career long term.
Where is Cthulhu when you need him.... because clearly humanity has reached the point of it's usefulness.
He did not own it. He made up all sorts of excuses...not who I am, a man of faith, etc. Well, I have news for him. A real man of faith would have never used that slur. If it isn't who he is, then the word would have never come out of his mouth in the first place. Like all casual bigots, he is sorry he got caught. He is a man who makes his living with words. He, of all people, should understand their power
A real apology would have been something along the lines of: " I am deeply sorry for the ugly, hateful word I used to denigrate LGBTQ people. I apologize for the hurt I caused and the disrespect I showed. I also apologize to my organization for failing to represent their values and my lack of professionalism. My behavior is unacceptable. The Cincinnati Reds, their fans, and the greater community deserve better.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
