I was thinking you put an empty chair with advertisements all over it

Just replay old announcements from games. Games can’t be that different from one another; right?

I propose Daybreak by Michael Haggins

If it were possible, he would have an AI audio model with visual capabilities do the announcing instead.

Best they can do is Suno slop

He’s gonna ask their new HC to just do it. As far as he sees it, he’s already paying him so much, might as well get more use out of it.

NBA relies so much on the Asian market. There’s no chance the LEAGUE wants him around.

But I just did that thing!

Broadcast team?! He’s gotta GO

where am i gonna hang out now, in my garage?

Just the tip energy

Kind of the point. You’re an idiot if you don’t scrub your socials when applying for jobs.

Why would the Blazers want someone that stupid and replaceable publicly representing their organization?

I hid mine because I got tired of deluded Redditors scouring over years of comments to try to find a “gotcha” or some kind of personal information.

There also isn’t racism in my ‘dumb posts’. Important secondary detail

Yeah, that’s the idea. I don’t think anyone judges the guy too harshly for saying something that bad when he was 15, but to still have it up on his current, active account when he’s in a public facing role is stupid.

Many people manage to get through high school not posting stuff like this, especially on accounts that can be tied back to them. On top of that, he didn’t make it private or delete it when he moved into a public based career? That’s just very dumb

Wait do you think that’s hypocritical? That’s literally the point lol, he used his old shitposting account for work at a public facing job.

Hiding his posts or using a different account is exactly what he should have done.

You keep trying to make this into him getting punished for things he said when he was a kid and that’s just not what’s happening at all.

I have to wonder if anyone making comments like yours have had a job before, and what kind of job would be cool with them having racist posts on work accounts.

I’m not even sure if it was a PR nightmare. I feel like it was one of those cases where nobody actually cared and they could have just asked him to delete the tweets

He used his teenage shitposting account for work where he’s the voice of a billion dollar basketball team. Thats not bad luck that’s insane stupidity.

He’s probably not racist and it was probably just him being an edgy teenager but if he’s going to be that stupid I’d have to wonder what other dumb shit he’d do.

I don’t consider that unlucky tbh.

Firstly, if you’re going for a public facing job for a company like the blazers, delete your social media history.

Secondly, I think most people manage to get through their teenage years without tweeting racist and misogynistic stuff like this, especially on an account that can easily be traced back to them. This wasn’t an anonymous 4chan account.

Calling it unlucky is taking his personal responsibility away. He sucked as a teenager, and he never considered purging his accounts despite the fact that he sucked. Did he forget that he used to be racist on Twitter?

Unlucky? No he’s fucking dumb for not deleting blatantly racist shit when he’s a public figure. Ya no shit this would backfire on him especially in Portland market. Ya that poor dude lol.

should have cleaned up his digital footprint more.

This is the whole story right here. This guy has 100% laughed at Kevin Durant tweeting about drinking bathwater or Dame calling Lebron a pussy. He has seen other people in sports media be taken down by this sort of thing. He’s not like, the first guy to find out that old social media posts can come back to bite you.

Not surprising someone stupid enough to tweet that at 15 is stupid enough to have left it up while trying to work in a major sports league at 29.

He’s in his late 20s and got a dream gig for every kid who has gone to broadcasting school. Now his career of choice is almost certainly over.

Kid wrote a fucked up tweet when he was 15. It doesn’t hurt to ask them to consider that he was dumb and immature and not hold that mistake against him.

its for the money…..his salary was nice

1. What NBA players were being racist towards Asian people? The shit with Jeremy Lin? Genuinely asking.

2. Surely you can tell the difference between a grown man saying something stupid and a teenager saying something stupid. I’ve got no real opinion on him keeping his job because I don’t know the situation or the person, but basically every teenager in existence has said some kind of awful shit that would make the adult version of themselves look terrible. Meanwhile, adults get held to a higher standard because they’ve had more opportunities to correct their stupidity. Like the moron that used some slur while streaming a game. He should know better, he’s a grown man.

the extent of that anti asian racism being a 14-15 year old saying “sometimes asian people piss me off”

i feel like if you’re claiming that’s the worst thing in the world you’re losing more people than you’re bringing into your side

Bell was using the same account as an adult as he was when he was 15. He should’ve deleted the tweets. If he forgot he was racist when he was 15, well, I don’t buy that at all. Now everyone knows he was a racist teenager who hated Asian people, and called women sluts.

Yeah im like thats a long way. Social media sucks how things can stick with you forever

Spurs took back Jacob Tobey aka the 2nd worst caster in the league behind Fitzgerald after he was involved in a cheating scandal with a player’s relative, looking stupid isn’t a problem for NBA teams.

“the shouldn’t have fired Bell”

I mean, unless you are some far right grifting business, you really can’t have your public facing team openly saying racist and mysognistic shit.

I get he was younger, but he was still old enough to know better and if he’s changed his views, he should have deleted his old ones. But he didn’t

If you don’t think people can change then you condemn a majority of the population and you certainly won’t be working towards making the world a better place.

Yeah, it’s also one thing to say that when you are 15, it’s another to keep them posted publicly if you changed your views. There is a delete button after all

Yeah you’re actually a moron

That he hates Asians and some derogatory statements about women. Standard fare for the Republican party, but even a Dundon owned team needs to have a higher standard than that in Portland.

You gotta at least delete them though man. No one even had to dig it up it was just on his socials. It’s not post 2020 either teachers have been telling people what they post on social media will affect their ability to get jobs at least since ²⁰¹⁴⁄₁₅. My teachers would tell us to never even post alcohol or parties on social media because it makes people less likely to hire you. I don’t find it very surprising at all leaving racist comments up is a deal breaker a publicly facing employer/employee I was taught that less is a deal breaker.

He lost his job for something that was on his professional account while he was employed.

Rough childhood huh

i made a typo on the word bigger once… getting ready for a life of unemployment and crack
