What's new

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



They are calling them verbatim notes.

The big issues is that the other two guys who arent EM or DL are both directly tied to DL.

I'm not assuming anything, but the fact is that "verbatim notes" are stupid in the modern era. It leaves the door open.

What reason do they to go with notes over audio? IF you are truly worried about "leaking" just record to a cassette tape. That's harder to leak than handwritten/typed notes. The most likely answer: Note taking lets you omit things.

Why are notes stupid in the modern era? Are we really assuming that they took these notes to avoid litigation? They’re taking these notes as part of a ‘developmental process,’ or whatever you want to call it.

They aren't verbatim notes. I'm sure they are very detailed, but 0% chance they are verbatim.

No way they go,

EM: "You are a **** GM, and I hate your stupid face"
DL: "Say one more word and I'll send your black *** back to Louisiana."
EM: "What did you say to me?"
DL: "You heard what I said."

And on and on and on.

I'm sure they are very detailed notes about the important topics that were discussed. Not who called who what name or who demeaned what race.
 
Would suck to lose DL. He built a title contender. If it is proven beyond reasonable doubt he said that tho, he should be fired.

So we dont believe what DL says now?
 
I checked the stats and he was here for a couple of seasons. He played more and was more productive the first season. I'm guessing this happened after season 1 and Sap was complaining about usage and/or minutes. His problem was his outside shot. He played hard.
 
So basically Elijah is stating that DL said that to him in from of Quin and Zanik while Zanik was taking notes.

If he said it, he should definitely face repercussions.......but should everyone that makes a racially insensitive remark, possibly in a heated exchange or misguided attempt to motivate someone, automatically lose their job?

We need to stop erasing people from society due to these mistakes. Suspension, diversity training, sincere apology......all of that would seem justified. But immediate termination and essentially banning him from basketball employment for the rest of his life?
Has no one else ever made a stupid mistake that you regret? No one here has ever told a dumb racist joke.....or laughed at one? Ever said something offensive? Mistreated someone?
Just surprised me how quickly people go for blood. No room for mercy. No room for growth or change. Only punishment.

I agree with what you're saying, but at this point if it turns out he did say it, it would also mean that he lied about it, boldly, which makes it a lot worse.
