Well you've failed miserably in every way.

We also note that the racial diversity of our management team has changed for the worse since Ferry took over.


How is this not considered racist? Oh yea, I know.

fricking sucks. I was so happy when the Hawks hired him too. This city can't win for losing.

Just another example of what a complete clusterfrick the Atlanta Spirit Group is. One owner firing off emails demanding scorched earth policy, another saying he's not fired and the previous owner jumped the gun. How these morons got wealthy in the first place is beyond me.

ATLANTA, GA –-- The following statement was released by Hawks President of Basketball Operations/General Manager Danny Ferry: “In regards to the insensitive remarks that were used during our due diligence process, I was repeating comments that were gathered from numerous sources during background conversations and scouting about different players. I repeated those comments during a telephone conversation reviewing the draft and free agency process. Those words do not reflect my views, or words that I would use to describe an individual and I certainly regret it. I apologize to those I offended and to Luol, who I reached out to Monday morning. In terms of the email that Bruce sent, the situation is disturbing and disappointing on many levels and I understand Bruce's words were offensive. I am committed to learning from this and deeply regret this situation. I fully understand we have work to do in order to help us create a better organization; one that our players and fans will be proud of, on and off the court, and that is where my focus is moving forward.”


Statement from Danny Ferry.

Damn. Who is so disgruntled in the Hawks, bringing out all this weak shite trying to blackmail?


What Levenson said was not racist
Ferry was repeating someone else verbatim, so not racist.
Someone is really reaching here

I think this is more representative of the calamity that is ASG. Sounds like Gearon Jr. didn't like Ferry for some reason and decided to record the teleconference phone calls. Instead, he got another owner in deep shite.

I can understand why they may get upset over Ferry at the remarks, even repeated.

Bringing up the organization's "diversity" and Ferry setting it back, though, is PC horseshite. Sounds like someone wanted a bunch of people hired due to something other than "basketball reasons" and Ferry told them to go frick themselves.

Koonin just came out and said that Ferry was actually trying to move forward on the Luol deal.

The long-running shite show that is the Atlanta Hawks ownership situation is why teams need a SINGULAR owner, not up to eight idiots contradicting each other.


One owner may be a fricking retard but at least they can keep things consistent. These idiots are infighting and it's spilling over into the public, which has been a long-standing issue going back about 10 years and a prior ownership group IIRC.

This is bad. Even if he was reading a scouting report, you don't share that unless you had never read the report and just stumbled upon it. But I'm always a little skeptical when someone says they have a recording and only release a transcript.

is describing the ethnic traits of a person from africa a racial slur? or am i missing the actual slur?
here's the quote :

"He's a good guy overall. But he's not perfect. He's got some African in him"

If you don't think that is racist... Well you might be racist

He's saying he's a good guy, but listing being African as one of his flaws.
