Thanks for the additional quote.
We must remember that DL also has some power over Quin, they have a strong working relationship, and is the person who ultimately hired Quin. Similar power dynamics are also at play. I hope Quin wouldnt lie, but I also think the comment is one that anyone could make. I think I could possibly say that if I were in DL's shoes out of anger.
Also, we must remember that Quin supports republican party bigots through donations, like Burgess Owens (who has very strong takes on BLM and NBA players protesting). He was also fired from his first HC'ing job for sleeping with a player's girlfriend in a utility closet (allegedly). Quin isnt a saint.
