From Daily Mail:

St Louis Cardinals commentator Chip Caray will not be suspended after his unfortunate slip of the tongue during a Pride Night commercial on Saturday night.

The 60-year-old broadcaster hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons when he inadvertently used a homophobic slur at the worst possible moment live on air.

Speaking on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest’s broadcast of the Cardinals-Reds game, he said: ‘Disability Pride Night is Thursday, July 10. With a themed ticket, fans take home a Cardinals cap featuring the disability pride fa**… flag.’


After an awkward silence, analyst Brad Thompson continued the discussion of the game.

Caray will not be punished for the incident. A source says that the network understands it was an “honest mistake” which was not meant as an insult to any of the viewers.
