From CyclingTips: (https://cyclingtips.com/2022/05/robbie-mcewen-apologises-for-on-air-homophobic-slur-during-gcn-giro-commentary/)
"During stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia, McEwen and Dan Lloyd were handing commentary duties back over to Rob Hatch and Sean Kelly after the latter pair’s lunch break. Hatch then shared an anecdote about how he and Kelly had spotted a fudge shop on their way back to the studio and how he’d eaten the majority of it before their return to commentary duties.
“You’ve gone in the fudge shop and you’ve consumed it straight away,” McEwen chimed in. “I mean, the fudge packers were wasting their time.”"
Sounds like a poor joke to use some insensitive language, as opposed to a deliberate slur in a playground manner. Fair enough to apologise and move on IMO
