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

Lol. What does that even mean?

Not getting into it…just think it makes sense why he didn’t like it in UT is all

Weirder than the Deron Williams saga?

Cougar Junkie

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.

I dunno, anything on his end...but when he became vocal about CRT is when he began to bother me.

Current false racial climate. Dishonest stereotypes. Etc.

BLM is a terrorist organization. Be better than this.

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

Like different levels of the KKK or Antifa? Nice try.

They would have distanced themselves if decent people. They're not.

BLM was a grift built on a lie. It's sad that Mitchell, like so many others, was duped by such a pernicious movement.

You have to be fighting for something not built on lies first.

Racial issues played a part; I think he wanted to play in a bigger market too.
