Thom Brennaman resigns as Cincinnati Reds broadcaster

Last month, Cincinnati Reds lead TV play-by-play announcer Thom Brennaman was suspended by the team for using a homophobic slur on the air.

The link contains what originally aired, plus an apology Brennaman gave several innings later — though in the middle of it, he interrupts himself to call a home run. He was taken off the air after that and has yet to return.

Friday, via Cincinnati radio reporter Evan Millward, Brennaman announced his resignation from the Reds:

I dunno. It sounds like he’s giving himself a pat on the back for meeting with LGBTQ people, who he shouldn’t have insulted in the first place.
