Baseball manager Brent Bowers was ejected from a game and subsequently resigned when he objected to an umpire's call by shouting antigay slurs.
A former Major League Baseball player, Edmonton Capitals manager Bowers objected to a call by gay umpire Billy Van Raaphorst by calling him a "f****t."
He was ejected from the game and suspended for the rest of the season. Bowers subsequently resigned.
In a report of the altercation, Bowers allegedly said: "You know what I heard? I heard you are a fucking f****t. I ought to kick your ass, you f****t."
Team president Patrick LaForge said Bowers's comments went "beyond what's acceptable." He says Bowers resigned before the Golden Baseball League had a chance to fire him.
