John Rocker calls radio host “Jew faggot” three times

Former Atlanta Brave John Rocker used anti-gay slurs and anti-Semitic statements against local radio host Steak Shapiro during an altercation at the W Buckhead hotel’s grand opening last week.

News of Rocker being tossed from the glitzy Jan. 22 party was reported in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The newspaper stated Rocker used ethnic slurs against Shapiro, who hosts a sports talk show on AM station 790 The Zone, and in later stories reported that Rocker kept calling Shapiro a “Jew.”

The AJC did not report that Rocker used the word “faggot.” However, Shapiro, who is not gay, confirmed to Southern Voice on Jan. 27 that Rocker used the slur against him.

“It [faggot] is one of his favorite terms and he used it multiple times,” Shapiro said. “His exact words at least three times [were], ‘You Jew faggot.’ He is a pathetic guy.” See John Rocker uses anti-gay slurs again
