Elijah Millsap: Lindsey in exit interview: “if u say one more word, I’ll cut your Black *** and send you back to Louisiana”.

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think memory is reliable enough even after six years that Elijah is not forgetting what happened. He is either lying or telling the truth. My guess is he's telling the truth. I question his timing though. DL should be held accountable if true of course, but Millsap could have brought up these allegations at any point instead of right when the Jazz are peaking. He's screwing over every single person who has an interest in this Jazz run, especially the players.

Dude, DL being fired or not has little to no impact on the Jazz this year. I dont think its "screwing" the Jazz too badly in the immediate. Maybe it hurts the Jazz in free agency, but DL should be an easy fire with how many assistant GM's Utah has been grooming.

Personally I hate it when the victim of this type of slander wether it happened or not comes forward 6 ****ing years later. Maybe this is insensitive of me, but I don’t understand why you wait 6 ****ing years and it just happens to be when the jazz are having easily the greatest season in jazz history to this point, smells of having an ax to grind regardless of if true or not. If true have the courage to say something in the same calendar year. If someone had done this to me and I didn’t feel the need to say something at the time, this is going to my grave. If not true you’re just being a bitch and looking to ruin someone. Even if true and you wait 6 years to the point it’s the jazz best season ever you’re just looking to screw someone.

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.

Exit interviews aren't fiery like you are claiming. They tend to be extremely low key. Especially for a player like Millsap that had a solid end of the season and was clearly coming back.

I am waiting for both sides of the story as I believe that's important. I'd like to see an independent investigation and hear from other players. That's common sense. You on the other hand just went on some bigoted emotional diatribe calling people who simply aren't jumping the gun racist. Calling "most" jazz fans racist. What a garbage bigoted take.

Both sides are out dude.

Millsap said his thing. DL denied it. Quin said he can't remember.

And the fan reaction, especially on this board where anonymous takes are allowed, is quite telling.

They can be very fiery, especially if someone knows they arent coming back. It's the moment of truth where everyone lays it out. The coaches/GM tell you what you need to work on and your expected future with the team and the player either takes it or gets to vent about how they were treated/coached/minutes/etc.

Whatever emotional bigot.

Did you read my post or are you as stupid as most racist-apologist jazz fans? I covered this.

You really are a scumbag aren't you.

You have to be incredibly stupid to not understand why someone would wait. Just put yourself in someone else's shoes and think critically for a minute and it should come to 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.

Highlights how willing he is to make a logical leap to defend racism, but isnt willing to make much less of a leap to acknowledge that the act might have occurred.

 

[framer]

Actually I do know people he has worked with.

This is actually pathetic. Did they confirm to you that Lindsey was a racist?

Quin did more than say he cant remember. He also said he cant imagine DL ever saying something like that.

I have never once said he is or was a racist, which further highlights how blind you are in this manner and how you are simply acting out of emotion, maybe out of guilt for your own actions ( I dont know, just speculating for the source of your stupidity).

Y'all are just telling on yourselves by simply not being able to read, or the fact that you can read but somehow your anger about a black person speaking up is preventing you from actually processing information.
