Roger McDowell Accused of Making Gay Slurs

Today is really not a good day for baseball news as Roger McDowell has been accused of some really revolting behavior. 

From TMZ:

Mega-attorney Gloria Allred announced the allegations moments ago in a news conference — representing a family of four (including two 9-year-old girls) who claim they watched McDowell make the homophobic remark and then use a baseball bat to simulate gay sex. 

According to Allred, the family claims they also witnessed McDowell tell the group of male fans, “Are you three giving it to each other in the a**?”

The father claims he confronted McDowell from the stands — and McDowell responded by saying, “Kids don’t f**king belong at the baseball park” … and then approached him with a baseball bat, saying, “How much are your teeth worth?”

Unless these allegations are completely fabricated, there is no way that McDowell escapes with his job. Even if the fans were heckling McDowell, and the fact that one of the men was with his children makes that seem unlikely, McDowell’s reaction was disgusting and completely out of line. 

The accuser is looking for an apology and a fine, but if the facts corroborate the story, McDowell should start looking for a new line of work.
