YP2K Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to sound. I can even see why Koonin gave him some of the benefit of the doubt, because he didn't say it in a malicious way. But he wasn't reading off of a report, and if he was, he was at best paraphrasing from it. The thing to take from this call, is that he said those words way too comfortably. And as this gets played over and over for the next 48 hours, he's going to get ripped apart unless he comes out on TV or radio and explain himself. And the heat will now be turned up on Koonin to do something with Ferry. If he doesn't, he may fall too. Lol @ Channing Frye and Sefolosha being 2 of the main guys he was looking at. That's enough to suspend him right there. I think you pretty much nailed it . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartVolt Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Kiss coach Bud goodbye everyone. Why would he stick around a group of owners who fight like high school girls? Why when the real Spurs job can be his? Gearon well played you piece of chit. I hope you are run out right behind Ferry you snake. Who would want to partner with this snake? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartVolt Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Can we set up a fund to hire a priest or shaman to bless inside Phillips arena? I will contribute first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I was waiting to hear the 'rant' that Ferry went on according to Gearon. Was it racially insensitive, irresponsible and just plain stupid? Absolutely. Edited September 12, 2014 by JayBirdHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiqueDaLegend Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I can't believe there are still Ferry supporters after this. He clearly wasn't reading a scouting report and he needs to go. Oh yeah I'm black for the guy who is saying its only white people. No one will want to play for Ferry period after this, do you want to cripple us more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kerrypack Posted September 12, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 what i find funny is that the level of player analysis is about on par with the level on hawksquawk. ferry does sound like a big meathead. uh, we could look at greg monroe, luol deng, uh, sefalosha, uh, uh, anthony. uh, let me read what diesel had to say about monroe. hold on, I'm logging onto hawksquawk. monroe can shoot the s out of it, but he will cost you on defense. dolfan can tell you more about bazemore. he can really cheer, can cheer the f out of the mf bench. (can we say f***?) 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartVolt Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 For the record to hell with Ferry. I am concerned about coach Bud saying to hell with this clown circus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiqueDaLegend Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 If we get a whole new owner who buys all of ASG I think Bud will stay but if they are still here as part owners, he probably leaves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted September 12, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Man y'all white people going in on Danny Ferry. I hope we doesn't get fired I don't want him fired either. Just really disappointed in someone that I thought was a stand-up guy... Be more professional than that, Ferry.

That's enough to suspend him right there. Exactly. That absolutely was not reading - it was off the cuff, where he was using the 'African' remark to give some misguided framework to stories he'd heard from other organizations. From what's been said, I don't think Danny's a racist, but he made a foolish comment, and comfortably, as you said, North. What's also troubling is that he didn't take true ownership - blamed it on the 'transcript'. And he was the one who was brought in to bring credibility to this dysfunctional franchise. Unreal.

kerrypack Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Seems more like a Tar Hole thing to do. state grads would be the ones to spend hours looking for dirt to throw at unc. they absolutely hate unc. unc grads vs dookies? they would just hate them and make up ridiculous stories. trust me, that happened all the time, but never tried to get any mileage out of the ridiculous stories. (I could tell some. coach k supposedly (ha ha) hurt his back when he caught marty clark sleeping with his wife. some random guy spent 30 minutes telling me this story in a parking lot in chapel hill. always stupid stories like that.)

Premium Member Popular Post Wretch Posted September 12, 2014 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I told you guys those were his comments. He lied to cover his ass because it was a conference call. I'm not sure if the Ferry Love is blinding people or folks really don't know how to put context around a conversation. Danny Ferry isn't a racist. It's a racist/insensitive comment, but Ferry isn't a neo-nazi, skinhead, bigot, or any of that other kind of ridiculousness. The comment itself is really bad. Do you people realize that Ferry has called out the entire continent of Africa? He's not perfect and what he means by that is he has some African in him. This is the same as seeing a white guy chug a bunch of bear and saying, "yeah he's got some Irish in him." Or seeing a light skinned dude surfing saying, "yeah, he's got some white in him." Or a teacher grading a math quiz from an chinese kid and saying, "yeah, he's got some Asian in him." The problem with Ferry's statement is that it's a negative context. He's equating having African in a person to being prone to dishonesty/cheating/etc...and I'm sure he doesn't mean the Caucasian population in Africa. This is bad for us and you people need to stop crying about losing Ferry. We need a reboot. *edit for the craziness of all this that's f***ing up my grammar.

DJlaysitup Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Well from that audio...I don't think Ferry is a racist...he's just an elitist jerk. Thinks he knows everything, typical Dookie. C'mon now Danny - trying some silly stereotype B.S. to get a laugh - dominating the conversation (he knows it all) and apparently being too "busy" to deal with minority ($$-wise) owners...who still pitch in to pay your salary by the way. He's not a racist...he's jerk. The guy isn't a racist, per se' - he's just a F'n Dookie jerk. So this is the new "climate" we want?...elitist assholes who can't be called "representatives of Atlanta"...but want to hold the players to a higher standard. F' this. I'd take Woody over this mess.
