WWE Announcer Tweets Homophobic Slur

WWE Announcer Tweets Homophobic Slur Less than two weeks after the WWE and GLAAD agreed to work together to curb homophobic comments in wrestling, one of the WWE's top announcers, Michael Cole, hurled a homophobic slur at a fellow announcer. Cole quickly apologized and took the tweet down, making everything all better again.
