Bob Huggins' Homophobic Slur Sparks Controversy and Outrage.
West Virginia Mountaineers head coach Bob Huggins made disparaging remarks about Xavier before using a homophobic slur multiple times when referring to Xavier University fans in a 700 WLW interview. Huggins discussed Xavier at length during remarks he made in Canton to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club just before talking to Cunningham. Huggins apologized Monday in a statement, and the university's athletic department said "the situation is under review and will be addressed."
