Yeah there’s no way Thom keeps his job or announces a game again anytime soon. We’ve canceled for a lot worse
What an idiot. We all make mistakes but wow.
I will admit when I was younger and working as a server I was talking to another server who was gay and called something happening as gay. I immediately apologized and stopped using the term as a negative from then on. It was really awkward but luckily my coworker knew me enough to know to know I meant no harm and blew it off. I hope he learns a lesson like I did. I made my mistake in like 2004 which was a completely different time found so today seems outrageous.
I've seen a few "wHaT hApPeNeD tO fReEdOm Of SpEeCh!?!" takes on twitter and I find that sad and hilarious.

Every time.
Is there anything more misunderstood than what freedom of speech does/does not allow for.

There is not.
It’s like the people who think they don’t have to wear a mask when the business is requiring it.

Only way more offensive

Most predictable after-effect imaginable. Every single time someone says something shitty and faces repercussions for it, there ALWAYS will be some screaming about freedoms and "wut happened to muh 'Merca?!?!?".

Well yes, for Thom. I meant the “free speech” defenders.

If I said what he said at work, in front of a lot of people, I'd have been canned on the spot.
posted by justincredibleI've seen a few comments saying Jim Day and Chris Welsh should also be fired because Thom was comfortable enough saying it in front of them.

I actually saw that last night since I follow Passan on twitter. That’s pathetic that he apologized. He was REPORTING the slur, how can you not comprehend that? Imagine how sensitive you must be if you can’t even READ the word f*g in a journalists report of a situation.
Sad times when Passan feels he has to apologize for that

People love to be victims. "You're not allowed to say"...okay.
So he’s been suspended? I haven’t followed since last night.

Suspended is all I've heard so far.
He’s been removed from FOX’s NFL coverage.
Jim Day on the call. Refreshing to not hear someone constantly talking over the game.
Iglesias gonna blow another one?

Yyyyyup
That was the worst. Bad at bats that could’ve blown open the game and then Iglesias couldn’t make good pitches while the Cards were giving great at bats....then bad luck hurt too.

Do you think David bell should be fired?
Feel like the DB hate in my head is a 10/10 but the DB hate on here is like a 5.5/10. Just curious where you fall

I don't know that he should be fired right now, but results from this season should definitely inform a decision at the end of the season.

I would certainly not rehire him after this season. He hasn't shown a reason to rehire from the decisions he made and continues to make as a manager.
