Guarantee that Millsap is stretching the truth.

Stfu. If he wanted to dramatize it he could have said DL said a slur. 0% reason to think Elijah is lying. The Millsaps are well respected

The comment, if accurately recalled by Elijah, is certainly inappropriate. But if that was the worst thing DL ever did it kind of gets a "meh" from me.

I'd like to live in a better world. I'd like to have better equality and eliminate injustice as much as possible. But I have no illusions about humanity ever achieving perfection, or anything close to it. Yeah, easy enough to say that comment is unacceptable. But we have zero context. I don't think this goes very far.

It's more than meh, especially if he's denying it. He just needs to own it and apologize

My main views:
1. What does Elijah have to gain from this? Absolutely nothing.

2. If he wanted to makeup a fake he said/she said story, couldn't he have thought of something much more damaging?

3. We know that DL has a fiery streak. Things can be said in the heat of the moment and exit interviews can get heated as they are very "real" moments.

4. Is what DL said that egregious? No, but if he's denying it then it just makes it look worse. Will we ever truly know if Quin doesn't speak up? No. Hell Quin might legitimately not remember. From the responses in this thread, you can tell white people don't consider that bad to the point that I don't think it would register to many.

At the end of the day you should probably just go ahead and fire DL immediately. He can be replaced and Utah already had shakey race relations. This could do a ton of damage to the org if the story stays in the media.

Best thing would be to own up and apologize. I think most players/people would accept that.

Extremely dangerous road you're taking here over nothing but he said she said. What if he didn't say it? How about instead of jumping the guns and trying to demonize someone we wait to hear from other sources? Unfortunately people would rather ruin someone's career over no evidence or no other stories as of yet. If he said this once, there's no way he hasn't said something to other players. Common sense says let's wait a minute here but sadly in today's day and age people like to destroy people without fully knowing the story.

There is a third path; he misheard DL and it was six years ago. I don't know. That's what I'm hoping.

I mean if there was a chance you misheard him, and you come forward six years later, still **** him.

So is Dennis Lindsey.

Not if it never happened. He'd be a fool to do that.

Have to wait and see how players respond to this
Have not heard anything yet from Donovan and Rudy
That may be deciding factor for DLs future

Memory is extremely unreliable. Elijah got fired from a job that was everything to him. Of course he hates Lindsley for that. He will for the rest of his life. After six years of stewing about what might of been, it is entirely possible that ALL of his memories of Lindsley have been distilled to a caricature of the villain he needs him to be.

And Cy, don't pretend you know Dennis Lindsley. You don't. I'm, in fact, really embarrassed for you.

Why would Mill sap hate DL, though? He wasn't a lock to make the team anyways. That wasn't the only time he got waived and DL is the one who gave him his first multi-year deal.

I think your caricature of Millsap caricaturing DL is absurd.

Guilty until proven innocent on an unprovable claim. The court of public opinion is not about justice.

Actually I do know people he has worked with.
