    Re: Thom Brennaman suspended for on-air comments

    I’ve been calling for the Reds to dump Thom so while I don’t support him and find his apology lukewarm, that seemed like a standard issue farewell in return for his resignation. Heck maybe the statement was negotiated.

    Resign without incident, and we send you out with a nice statement. Fine by me.

    Deleting it seems silly though. Stand by your words.

    I actually believe there was only one choice: be fired

    But it’s being done as respectfully as possible.

    I don’t blame them or that initial message that went out. They already publicly decried him after the remark and are firing him.... but they feel they owe the Brennamen family. Like whatever. These statements don’t really accomplish anything.

    Time for everyone to move on.

    I agree that the announcing booth is overall better and more relaxed. And I don’t have to clench my teeth any more when Thom pontificated.

    That’s basically what I said.

    Everyone knows he had no choice, he was gone. They’ve simply allowed him to pretend he stepped away. Likely in deference to his Dad.

    It’s how pretty much how all executives resign.

    I’m all for sending him packing in the most vicious way but it’s like some people don’t understand how messy things can get when firing someone with the resources to really fight it. Who knows what threats (if any) were made by Thom as to his plans if he were fired.

    Come to a settlement and move on. It’s over.

    I wonder if Thom will be mentioned by the tv crew at all during broadcasts this weekend.

    The Reds looked really bad during this. They could have ended it quickly, instead they just hoped it would disappear. Now they are back on the ESPN headlines and it looks like they weren’t the ones who made the decision, even though they probably were.

    Why do the Reds look bad, exactly? He was immediately pulled off the air and never will return.

    I think most people believe/know they made the decision despite what the prepared statement says.
