Boston Red Sox Star Jarren Duran Suspended For Using Anti-Gay Slur On Live TV
Jarren Duran of the Boston Red Sox has been suspended from two MLB games for using an anti-gay slur that was caught on a mic during a live broadcast of the game.
“In consultation with Major League Baseball, the Red Sox today issued an unpaid two-game suspension to outfielder Jarren Duran beginning with tonight’s game against the Texas Rangers,” read a statement from the Red Sox. The team said that the salary from Duran’s two-game suspension would be donated to PFLAG (Federation of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), which is a U.S. “organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people and those who love them.” Our young fans are supposed to be able to look up to me as a role model, but tonight I fell far short of that responsibility.”
