Yup. Racial tensions in the nation were very high. He looked at it mainly from the Utah lens

His perspective was way off base. He would jump to conclusions before the

I don’t really want to get into a discussion of whether it was off base or not

I think he could have made it work. Refraining from calling fans racist without

Lol. What does that even mean?

Weirder than the Deron Williams saga?

Apr 27, 11:27pm

Aye. Deron wasn't too fond of Jerry Sloan. He voiced it. Fans loved that

Good gravy TNT hates the 80-character limit

It was OK for me to be critical of Jerry, but in no way would that be OK for Deron to be.

No, what happened was that he stood up for the BLM movement and took some other

You mean BLM, that grifter organization that bilked millions and helped to spread lies and stoked racial division

There are different levels of BLM. D Mitchell isn’t an anarchist. Nuance matters

BlooCoug

Dude, BLM means different things to different people. The fundamental purpose of

The ceiling was low with Spida. Best for all sides that he moved on.
