Like the other guy said. He’s not wrong.

He’s not wrong at all on some people.....the fact it gets ran with because it’s Utah just kind of sucks. We have improvements to make. But go check Lebrons comments, CP3’s comments, Myles Turners comments, many others comments.....like I don’t see Indiana Pacers media writing/printing entire articles on their players comment section. Those people suck. I try to address them when I see them, but it sucks. Don is a good person and he doesn’t deserve that stupidity.

Unfortunately also in sports the trash side of the fans has very often a louder voice than the majority (the genuine fans).
I know that and so I should be used to it, but actually every time I see such a sleaze behaviour by them I always become sad...not angry, just disappointed.

I’ve given Don a ******** of crap over the Rudy stuff, but he is a good person. I hope when he gets back in a day or two he is showered with love. If I saw him I’d make sure he knows I support him and everything he’s pushing for. The rest of that stuff is just sports, I want he and his family to feel comfortable, loved, and appreciated in this community. He needs to hear and see actual people tell him they love him and support him, and that quite honestly we’re sorry for the idiots on social media who feel the need to say stupid things.

He’s speaking on some “fans” in his IG post messages. Not great.

What is not great is people trying to play the "hey all teams have fans like this" angle instead of calling out racists. Forget about every other team and focus on your team. I am pretty sure Donovan doesn't want to hear excuses or justifications.
 
Hold on...

The race issue for some is 100% clear and is just black and white. There is no nuance.

But, if one says that we are free'ish. Then you are saying there is nuance. Geez. You are asking a group that doesn't understand the issues to perfectly understand them. I think there is nuance and if you want to win people over you need them to understand it. Help them to see and not just blow it up.

Eh, both can be true. They aren’t mutually exclusive. I agree fight it, but Jazz fans do get drug through the mud by NBA media a bit much while those comments sit in every comment section. Of course call out racists, all of them, but lots of NBA media members don’t really do that near as much with a Lakers post as a Jazz post.

Also, other teams first comment of “come to my team” or “come play here” aren’t seeing him as any more human. They’re seeing him as an athlete and using frustrating comments to him to help their favorite sports teams motive.

It's perfectly fair thing to think and it's somewhat true. Nevertheless, it shouldn't be mentioned when the message is more important than anything. No need to feel insecure like it's directed to entire fanbase.

This troll’s whole shtick is to riff on potential insecurities (and then deny his own insecurity).
