on administrative leave Friday while they investigate he
made homophobic comments & crude gestures toward fans
before a game in San Francisco last weekend. McDowell is
also accused of using a baseball bat to threaten a fan who
objected to his actions. The former major league reliever
apologized in a statement but the team barred him from
the bench heading into a 3 game series against St. Louis.
GLAAD called on the Braves to take disciplinary action
against McDowell on Wednesday. Earlier this month,
GLAAD worked with the NBA & Los Angeles Lakers after
Kobe Bryant shouted an anti-gay slur at a referee.
Recently, GLAAD worked with the New York Yankees &
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) to address issues
of homophobia in sports. After working with GLAAD, the
New York Yankees adopted a new policy that strictly
prohibits anti-gay slurs in Yankee Stadium.
