Troy Aikman Called Queer By Dexter Manley On Radio (AUDIO)

Former Washington Redskin Dexter Manley used a homosexual slur when referring to Hall of Fame and former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Troy Aikman on a radio show Monday. The incident was broadcast during WTOP’s morning radio show. “I think Troy is a queer,” said Manley as he and the radio host were discussing Sunday’s game between the Redskins and the Denver Broncos. The host immediately asked Manley if he wanted to apologize to Aikman for the homophonic slur, to which Manley replied, “No, I’ll just say I’ll take that back.”

Nicknamed the “Secretary of Defense,” Manley was drafted in 1981 by the Redskins and played 9 seasons in Washington.

Before Monday’s incident, Manley had been a frequent guest on WTOP as a Redskins game analyst.
