I'm also not sure what that line is referring to, but I'm even more curious to know why that would matter, even if it were correct? The phrase used was offensive on its face, regardless of who (or where) it was referring to. So how would confirming who (or where) was being discussed be germane to whether or not Brennaman's suspension was deserved?

Also, in his capacity as a broadcaster for the Reds, he's employed by the team (which is a common arrangement for local broadcasters), and their broadcast outlet Fox Sports Ohio no longer has a connection to Fox beyond licensing the name. Current owner Sinclair is supposed to change the name of all of the "Fox Sports" regional sports networks at some point, in the same way that Disney recently dropped the Fox name from everything.
