Have fun in your training. Dear lord.
Arizona Diamondbacks television analyst Bob Brenly said on Thursday that he will take a voluntary leave of absence from Bally Sports Arizona while he takes sensitivity training following his comment earlier this week about Marcus Stroman, which the New York Mets pitcher said had "racist undertones."
"I want to apologize again for my insensitive reference on Wednesday, as it does not reflect my values or who I am," Brenly said as part of a statement issued to The Athletic. "Beginning today, I have voluntarily decided to take some time off to listen, reflect and devote my attention to awareness training related to diversity and inclusion to enhance my understanding and appreciation of others. I plan to return to the booth next homestand, hopefully a better person."
