ViperXX79 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Maybe they should cancel the season :-(. If I knew how to embed a video on here I'd post the scene from Robin Hood where the sheriff calls off Christmas...

lerspec Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 The Rev. Markel Hutchins announced Wednesday's meeting was called off "at the last minute." He later said he received a call from Hawks spokesman Garin Narain on Tuesday night asking that it be postponedRead more: The Marietta Daily Journal - Hawks cancel meeting with civil rights leaders Wait...which one is it Markel?

Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Silver on the record defends Ferry http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2014/09/10/adam-silver-danny-ferry-fired-atlanta-hawks-racist-comments-luol-deng/15406829/ "It's a question of context ... These words, in this context, understanding the full story here, the existence of the scouting report, the fact that he was looking at the scouting report as a reference when he was making these remarks, what I'm saying is – and frankly my opinion — is that this is a team decision in terms of what the appropriate discipline is for their employee. But if I'm being asked my view, I'm saying that, based on what I know about the circumstances, I don't think it's a terminable offense." He better get on the horn and make it clear to folks in all league circles that Ferry did nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted September 10, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 He better get on the horn and make it clear to folks in all league circles that Ferry did nothing wrong. He won't say that, but he WILL say Ferry didn't do enough to earn himself any more than a in-house reprimand. Now, Silver, what about the rest of this motley crew? ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted September 10, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 He better get on the horn and make it clear to folks in all league circles that Ferry did nothing wrong. He isn't saying that Ferry did nothing wrong. To the contrary, he is saying Ferry did something wrong but that he doesn't think it rises to the level of a terminable offense.

ViperXX79 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 He better get on the horn and make it clear to folks in all league circles that Ferry did nothing wrong. But that's the problem. Just because Silver makes that call doesn't mean a lot of opinions have been formed and everyone will have a different interpretation of the incident. Ferry looks like damaged goods right now and I don't think any phone call will repair the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows that Ferry and Levenson just got caught in Gearon's rampage. He made that clear when he said he would not send down a punishment to Ferry and that the league would not force Levenson to sell. This is an internal issue and now Gearon needs to be forced out for throwing the organization under the bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerspec Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think it's crystal clear with this Silver article coming out why Koonin didn't fire Danny. Pretty obvious he's had Silver's good graces with his decisions. Now will that appease the "community leaders"? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, Silver, what about the rest of this motley crew? ~lw3 This is likely where Koonin is getting discipline recommendations from, and he said he exceeded the recommendations. It may not be a popular opinion but these guys know the results of the investigation and the rest of the media/populous only know what we know from Gearon's obviously slanted "leaked" memo now. That idiot is willing to bring down our whole franchise for personal gain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearon is an idiot but he has no real power. Levenson and Ferry are idiots for getting caught and have done a great job of damaging an already lackluster reputation the team had. We should be praying that Silver wants to clean house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
