Braiden Bell is one of the best, most authentic, and genuinely great dudes not just in our industry, but on the planet. Aside from being an *incredible* broadcaster, his sterling character is one I will ceaselessly vouch for, and it is not at all represented by an ill-advised series of offensive tweets sent as a freshman in high school. I could fill an essay on the quality person he is. This decision by the Blazers reeks of hypocrisy, panic, and zero courageous leadership. I can promise you he doesn’t deserve what happened yesterday, and that he will not be defined by this.
