Bob Huggins Faces Consequences for Homophobic Slur

Podcaster Josh Neighbors was fired from the "Locked On Big 12" podcast for airing West Virginia coach Bob Huggins' use of an anti-gay slur uncensored. Huggins referred to Xavier fans as "Catholic f–s" during an interview with Bill Cunningham on WLW in Cincinnati. Neighbors said he understood the company's zero-tolerance policy for hate speech, but disagreed with the decision. Huggins faced consequences, including a salary cut, suspension, and sensitivity training, but was allowed to keep his job as the Mountaineers basketball coach.
