UPDATE: Rob Dibble apologizes for comments about female sports fans

Todd Webster, a spokesman over at MASN Sports, contacted us to say that during yesterday’s broadcast of the Nationals-Diamondbacks game, commentator Rob Dibble addressed his August 11 comments about some female sports fans.  According to Webster, the following transcript is accurate:

DIBBLE: You know, Bob, recently some things have come to my attention that, in cyberspace, some really toxic and hurtful things have been mentioned about me, something I said last week during a baseball game. To anybody that does not know me that was offended, or took offense with what I said in my weak attempt to be humorous during a down time during the game, I truly apologize. That’s not truly how I feel about any baseball fan — men, women, or children. And so I wrote a blog, in my own words, not the words of other people who’d like you to think differently, on MASNSports.com. So, my humble and sincere apology if I offended anybody last week.

BOB CARPENTER: We know you are not like that. Those of us who work and hang with you every day.

DIBBLE: Thank you. [few empty seconds pass] Now back to baseball.

Here is Dibble’s blog post over at masnsports.com.
