Trail Blazers fire new broadcaster over offensive remarks
Original: Trail Blazers fire new broadcaster after misogynistic, racist comments surface
The Portland Trail Blazers have fired a newly hired broadcaster after misogynistic and racist comments he made came to light. The franchise moved quickly to sever ties once the remarks surfaced. It is the latest in a series of cases where sports broadcasters have lost jobs over resurfaced offensive comments, and it leaves the team searching for a replacement ahead of the new season.
Why now: The swift firing of a just-hired broadcaster over offensive comments is generating attention in sports news.
