Atlanta Coach McDowell = homophobe / homohater

[+ glutes]

Just suspended Braves pitching coach is an asshole, and got off easy:

 

Even by San Francisco standards, Mistress of all Media Gloria Allred's live-streamed news conference decrying Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell's homophobic harangue at AT&T Park was over the top.

 

Flanked by the twin 9-year-old girls who witnessed it, Allred described McDowell's April 23 outburst at three heckling spectators in graphic detail.

 

"Are you three giving it to each other up the ass ?" Allred quoted McDowell as saying, as the two girls in matching pink sweaters and pigtails looked on.

 

Then Allred picked up a baseball bat and, with the help of the girls' father, pantomimed a sex act - as McDowell allegedly did at the ballpark. (You can see it at links.sfgate.com/ZKYN.)

 

"I'm sure it's disturbing - but these are the facts," Allred told us afterward.

 

But if the little girls were really so traumatized at AT&T, why put them through it again?

 

"The parents gave permission to do that," Allred said. "I don't think my clients feel (the girls) understood that part of it in the way you and I understand it."

 

Besides, Allred said, what really traumatized the kids wasn't the sexual banter. It was the bat-wielding McDowell, supposedly approaching after their dad, Justin Quinn of Fresno, had objected to his remarks and asking him, "How much are your teeth worth?"

 

Not nearly as much as the family will probably get out of baseball for the incident.
