Just WOW! (Levenson will sell Hawks)

[Guest]

This is what was written about Luol:

 

Hawks GM Danny Ferry referred to free agent Luol Deng as having "some African in him" on an organizational conference call, sources told Yahoo Sports. (AP)

The trigger of events that led to the toppling of Atlanta Hawks owner Bruce Levenson began with general manager Danny Ferry referring to free agent Luol Deng as still having "some African in him" on an organizational conference call, league sources with direct knowledge of the probe told Yahoo Sports.

"He's still a young guy overall," Ferry said, league sources with direct knowledge of the probe told Yahoo. “He's a good guy overall. But he's not perfect. He's got some African in him. And I don't say that in a bad way."

I think that is pretty much the key issue.  The incoming black players will either see this or will be told.  Honestly...this is a disaster for our franchise.

I would like to know who wrote the report that Ferry read.

and what does it say?  he read second hand comments out loud that were deemed offensive when stated by an old bald white man.  I wouldn't be surprised if they were somewhat (or more than somewhat) offensive to someone else.  Again, you'll never know what is offensive to someone else.  it could be a comment that a michael jordan or dominique could get away with, but not a ferry.

 

sterling's comments were offensive to anyone, almost comically so.  That guy was such a dirtbag etc

Wow. That is not good at all.

Haha!  I got some Irish in me but that doesn't mean I'm a drunk....no wait.

 

Seriously...that is about as racist as one can get.  You want to run an all white NBA team...do it Danny...nobody is stopping you...after all you are a Hall-of-Fame candidate as a player...well....(?)

Ferry should be fired.

 

now im patiently waiting for one of these wing nuts on the radio to use Ray Rice as a counter to why this isn't a cluster-ykw created by Ferry and Bruce.

Maybe I"m stupid but I"m not understanding what that is even supposed to mean.

Way to kill the momentum from the post season - the Hawks front office can't get out of their own way.

[lethalweapon3]

RUMOR: the remake of Harry the Hawk to better appeal to the team's desired ticketholders has been scrapped...

I wouldn't doubt if it was intended to be a joke,  but WTF jokes like that at work!  All around dumb with a capital D. 

 

Good job dumbass.  Now the black fans can't stand you.

P.S.  "Ferry simply read off of a scouting report"...so he either agreed with it or was too dumb to pre-read what he was saying....neither bodes well for our team.

The NBA has no plans to discipline Hawks GM Danny Ferry above and beyond undisclosed team sanction.

 

Danny Ferry wasn't the first choice to be GM in Atlanta, he was just the first guy willing to work for ASG.

 

Ferry called Ron Shade, Deng's agent, to apologize. "I have no reaction, but we've spoken," Shade tells Yahoo. Ferry reached out to Deng too

[HawkItus]

What does that even mean?  Wow.   Cue bigoted scout: "He might still chuck a few spears"  "He hunts lions"  "He will work for free as long as he is properly motivated"  This can't be real man.  Seriously, after the Belkin, JJ, Dominique fiascos........not sure how much more I can take.

I'm getting chills that I'm making joke posts that are actually close to the ASG's thinking.

1- report was a background report, commonly known as "intel report"; not a scouting report. 2- source was not Hawks employee or contractor

We are about to see some major changes coming to the Hawks very soon. I dunno just get the feeling Ferry might be on his way out as well. I could be wrong.
