Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran apologized for using a homophobic slur at a heckler during a game against the Houston Astros at Fenway Park, which was caught on live telecast. Duran acknowledged the slur was “truly horrific” and expressed regret, apologizing to the Red Sox organization and the LGBTQ community. The team supported his apology and reaffirmed their commitment to inclusivity and education on diversity. It is uncertain whether Duran will face discipline from Major League Baseball, but past incidents have resulted in sensitivity training and possible suspensions.
