Ozzie defended his use of "[censored]" to another reporter saying crap like "in my country..." and "it's not against gays, it's against his manhood" lol. Then later, after a talk with Reinsdorf, Ozzie appoligized for using it yet still defended his use of it in his apology

From Wiktionary.org

I'm pretty sure this is what Ozzie meant:

(US slang, offensive) A jerk, an a**hole.
Why did you do that, you f*g?

I use the word in a similar manner as I'm sure many of the offended critics here do as well.

Ozzie said he used the word to "insult his manhood" or something, which clearly shows he wasn't using it as a substitute for "jerk." Furthermore, Ozzie isn't some Joe spouting off at his buddy in private. That word is not suitable to any professional setting. I can imagine a boss or CEO saying "jerk" or "dummy" or "idiot" but not ozzie's word.
