Aubrey Huff cut off air by radio host after ex-Giant’s comments about women

Aubrey Huff doubled down on his anti-women sentiments in a radio interview Tuesday morning.

A day after the Giants released a statement that they’re not inviting Huff to their 2010 championship reunion this summer, the former first baseman appeared on 95.7 FM and didn’t seem bothered by the news.

“I can be controversial,” Huff said in the 8 1/2-minute radio interview, “but I’m a conservative guy from Texas and fight for my beliefs and values, and I would rather not get invited to a World Series 10-year reunion than bow to my beliefs and opinion for a five-second validation.”

In Monday’s statement, the Giants referenced Huff’s “multiple comments on social media that are unacceptable and run counter to the values of our organization.”

Huff said in a Tuesday tweet that Giants CEO Larry Baer called three weeks ago to tell him the board of directors unanimously voted not to invite him to the reunion because of his Twitter posts.

Huff said Baer told him part of the reason was his tweets supporting President Donald Trump. The Giants, in their statement, made no mention of politics, and a team spokesperson said Tuesday the decision had nothing to do with politics.

In one tweet, Huff wrote of Iranian women, “Let’s get a flight over and kidnap about 10 each. We can bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes, amongst other things.”

Huff was asked on the radio if he regretted the tweet, which he deleted, and he said, “I don’t regret sending the tweet out. I regret the ‘kidnapping’ part. That was probably the wrong choice of words.”

Last month, Huff criticized the Giants’ hiring of Alyssa Nakken, the first woman to become a full-time major-league coach. The Giants said the decision to exclude Huff was made before the Nakken tweet.

Tuesday, on the radio, Huff elaborated: “The woman coach thing, listen, here’s my deal with that. I don’t believe a woman should be in men’s pro sports, absolutely not. There’s so many more people, especially men that grind it out, that deserve that spot more than she does. But I also don’t believe that men belong in women’s college sports or sports in general, either. Why would they want to be? I wouldn’t want to coach women’s sports. Women are tough enough to deal with anyway.”

At that point, one of the hosts, Joe Fortenbaugh, cut off Huff and asked if it was the right time to make that sort of joke. To which Huff said, “This is how I joke.”

The host said it was a mistake to bring on Huff because he was showing no remorse. After a few words were exchanged, Fortenbaugh told his producer, “Hang up on him. We’re done.”
