(Wednesday afternoon update : Braves pitching coach / former Mets reliever Roger McDowell, accused earlier today of asking a trio of SF Giants fans, “are you a Gay threesome?”)
Depending on your point of view, attorney Gloria Allred is either a dedicated supporter of the underdog or a hopeless publicity hound. Or perhaps a little of both. Earlier today, TMZ reported Allred has called a Wednesday afternoon press conference to detail one man’s allegations an as-yet unnamed MLB coach uttered anti-gay slurs within earshot of children. Presumably at a ballpark.
Allred tells TMZ … the coach used “homophobic words and sexually suggestive vulgar behavior,” simulating sex between gay men.
Allred says the comments and gestures were directed at 3 men whom the coach apparently thought were gay.
One of the fans, who brought his 9-year-old twin girls to the game, protested to the coach … and according to Allred, the coach responded by saying, “Kids don’t f**king belong at the baseball park.” She also claims the coach then approached the father “with threatening words and a baseball bat.”
Though I’m not sure exactly what legal action Allred has in mind, it cannot be stressed strongly enough that Larry Bowa is no longer a coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
And there are better ways to try and steal Phil Jackson’s mojo than to grow an ugly grey soulpatch.
Looks like it was Roger McDowell in SF, unless this is a separate incident.
I guess you should put a pic of Roger McDowell up there, no?
I stand by my previous comments re: his soulpatch.
