Atlanta Braves Coach -- Accused of Hurling Gay Slurs
18 minutes ago by TMZ Staff



Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell has been accused of targeting a group of male fans last weekend at a Giants game in San Fran -- allegedly asking them, "Are you a homo couple or a threesome?"

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?"

2. Did this guy use to coach John Rocker?!

Whatever he had must be contagious :eyes:

[JonLP24]

4. He came after Rocker

however I think Rocker is the contagious one. Last I heard of him he was running a "Speak English" website or something like that.

5. I meant that Rocker was the contagious one

maybe the Braves' bullpen needs to be fumigated or something. :eyes:

edit: Where Are They Now? Dept.: The notorious bigot Rocker, in addition to operating hate-fuilled websites, is a real estate salesman. :rofl:

3. Hey Braves... fire this asshole ASAP

"Kids don't belong at a baseball park..."

Holy jumpin' catfish!

10. That was the one I couldn't believe

A homophobe is what he is, even if more of them have the sense to leave their homophobia at home these days.

But where does any baseball professional get the idea that America's children shouldn't be taken to the ball park to see a game?

6. ugh -- disgraceful

:wtf::puke:
