Former Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley called Fox NFL analyst and Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman a gay slur Monday during his weekly Washington-area radio appearance.
Manley was providing "analysis" of the Redskins' loss to the Broncos on Sunday, a game Aikman called for Fox, during his segment on WTOP radio.
