After the Tigers game ended Friday in a 3-2 loss to the Mariners, radio announcer Dan Dickerson, known for his class and professionalism, cut to a break. That's when got caught on a hot mic moment saying: "I don't have to do a...awe Fuck this game recap."
He then went on to say, "oh, I'm sorry, was that out loud?"
Then, according to the Detroit Free Press, he issued an apology:
"I want to sincerely apologize for swearing during a break in the post-game last night. Our mics were inadvertently left open — but I know better than to swear into an open mic. It was said in a moment of frustration, and not a reflection about how I feel about doing the game recap — just how I felt about doing it in that moment after a five hour, 15 inning, season-ending loss. I'm very sorry any fans had to hear it — my apologies again."
The comment ended up being a meme on social media pages including one belonging to Erik Olson, owner of Thomas Magee's Sporting House Whiskey Bar in Detroit's Eastern Market. Olson posted the photo along with a statement: "I stand with Dan!"
