Suspended Announcer Thom Brennaman Resigns From Reds Broadcast Booth

Play-by-play announcer Thom Brennaman says he is resigning from being the voice of the Reds, Brennaman told WCPO Ohio's Evan Millward.

Brennaman was suspended in mid-August after being caught on a hot mic using an anti-LGBTQ slur during a Reds doubleheader vs. the Royals.

“My family and I have decided that I am going to step away from my role as the television voice of the Cincinnati Reds,” Brennaman wrote to WCPO. “I would like to thank the Reds, Reds fans and the LGBTQ Community for the incredible support and grace they have shown my family and me.
