Cancel culture? Also, I’m not sure this moves the needle in Cincinnati. Marge Schott is somewhere nodding along in agreement.
So, I'm curious. What city is he talking about being the f** capital of the World? Kansas City? Cincinnati? Ottumwa?
Which city is he referring to? I may want to visit.
Now that’s a solid funny, well done!
I think 3boysmom is a travel agent if you're interested.
It sounds like they were having a side conversation and he violated rule #1 of broadcasting by not assuming the microphone is hot. It isn’t clear what city he is talking about.
Hopefully he clarifies this.
He was apparently on the phone with someone...
Imagine going home and telling your spouse, “Yeah, so I don’t think I’ll be working again...ever.”
If you had seen many of his posts you wouldn’t be confused.
Ouch. Normally I’m a bit forgiving when it comes to canceling people based strictly on using a specific word or phrase. In this case the whole point of the guy’s job is speaking. You had one job guy: talk. There you go and talk very badly. Later.
It's not who he is, though. It's never who they are, then we find out more evidence that it's exactly who they are.
I have...but still can't believe people would need to ask this. Unreal.
In his defense, his friends never blink when he says "fag". How could know it is a slur if no one tells him?
I bet the St Louis gun couple are pretty worried they are about to lose their speaking spot at the GOP convention.
Buh bye Thom. Maybe if you spelled your name like a normal person we could actually forgive you.
Apparently he’s watched blazing saddles one too many times.
He really put some stank on the word fag too.
Maybe he was talking about the cigarette capital.
“I am so sorry that I got caught and that I’m going to lose my job. I give no apology for actually using the offensive term, nor to the millions of people that it offended.“
Shit happens.
apologize and move on. Hell Dolphin called a black man King Kong and kept his job.

According to Blazing Saddles, I'm assuming KC. Can @jasonrann confirm?
His old man, Marty, almost lost his Reds announcing gig pretty much the same way. Dunno how he kept his job.
In 2010 he called Marshall U’s President a queer. At, get this, Marshall Baseball’s awards banquet.
Both of em are, or WERE, good announcers, but it sure makes me think while this was an unforced error by Thomm, it’s not like he was raised not to say shit like that it appears.
