Apology over BBC broadcasts gay insult
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5399890.stm

The England star made the derogatory comment during a light-hearted conversation with Moyles about which players he found attractive.

Ferdinand immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not homophobic."

A spokesperson for the station said: "There was no offence intended and we apologise for any offence caused."

On-air Chris Moyles said: "you can't say that," he then added that the comment was "footballing terminology for a funny lad".
