        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Reds gave Thom Brennaman a chance to apologize Wednesday night on air after his homophobic slur was broadcast to Fox Sports Ohio viewers over a hot mic.</p><p>However, the 56-year-old&#8217;s mea culpa — <strong>for saying “one of the f-g capitals of the world,&#8221; to the shock of viewers</strong> — was interrupted by a Nick Castellanos home run to lead off the top of the fifth inning.</p><p>&#8220;I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of … I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith,&#8221; Brennaman said as Castellanos launched an 0-1 pitch to left field, &#8220;as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos that will be a home run and so that’ll make it a 4-0 ball game.&#8221;</p><p>Then Brennaman went right back to the apology, seemingly understanding the gravity of his mistake.</p><p>&#8220;I don’t know if I’ll be putting on this headset again,&#8221; said Brennaman, who was suspended by a &#8220;devastated&#8221; Reds franchise.</p><p>Brennaman, who is the son of legendary announcer Marty Brennaman, also works for Fox as an NFL play-by-play man and his future with the network is still undecided. He added a second apology on Thursday morning in a statement.</p><p>&#8220;I would like to sincerely apologize for the inappropriate comments I made during (Wednesday) night&#8217;s telecast,&#8221; Brennaman said. &#8220;I made a terrible mistake. To the LGBTQ community, and all people I have hurt or offended, from the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry. I respectfully ask for your grace and forgiveness.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
