Wade “seriously concerned” about Mitchell’s desire to be in Utah

[yamers]

somebody said this earlier this week....about dm hating utah. lol. he GONE.

People speculate that Don is unhappy here due to all the supposed race factors. My argument is that Don is unhappy here because of Rudy.

Don knows he's the straw that stirs the drink. Since his rookie year, he has been ascending yet Rudy gets his *** kissed at every turn. Everybody knows Rudy also has shortcomings, but everybody just makes excuses for him nonstop. Many people blame Don before Rudy when it's clearly obvious Rudy is many times part of the problem.

Rudy irritates people. If he's often making comments in the media about not getting the ball and others not doing their jobs, he's probably doing it in practice too. Rudy is that WR who is always open and has to say something every time in the huddle.

Don is a superstar and he's probably over dealing with Rudy's antics. I don't think this is enough to make Don want to leave, but it's probably irritating.

As you can guess from my screen name, I've worked on political campaigns for years. I've campaigned in literally half of the counties in Utah, knocking on thousands of doors, having thousands more conversations with random folks when you include events and phone calls. There's a racist stigma because a hell of a lot of Utahns *are actually racist.* (Regardless of political party, btw.) I've heard some truly offensive stuff all over this **** hole of a state. I've heard even worse things second hand from the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks I've campaigned with. I'm a blue eyed blonde haired white guy, and I think the rest of the state thinks I'm a safe person to say that trash to since I look the way I do.

Now I know you're going to go "well not all Utahns" and "and Utah isn't the only racist state" and yeah, obviously. I wouldn't even say the majority of Utahns are racist. But there's enough to be a problem. Thinking otherwise is just denial or ignorance.

Again, you are misinterpreting my post or maybe I was not clear. I am not defending Utah against racism. All I am saying is that they did not invent it. Does this excuse the racist behavior shown by some Jazz fans? Absolutely not. However sometimes the media makes it sound like Utah is the only place where there is racism. I am not in denial nor am I ignorant. I have nieces and a nephew who are multi-race and I have had eye witness experiences what they go through. My sister dated and married a black man and I was lucky enough to answer a call one night with the caller telling me that if my sister didn't stop dating the n word our house was going to be bomb. I lived in Connecticut at the time. Racism is a problem EVERYWHERE. It is a global issue. That is what I was saying and I was not downplaying racism in Utah either. I see it in full color.

I have rarely heard Rudy complain about not getting the ball and when he does he usually has a legitimate complaint. Guy gets what 5-8 shots a game.

Over the last few years, Rudy is the only guy on our team I have seen complain to the media about anything related to getting the ball, expecting more from others, etc.

I'm not saying he is right or wrong, but he has taken the conversation outside of the locker-room and practice. That has to irritate some people.

Can someone give me some actual concrete examples of Mitchell trying to “create a narrative?” Or even expressing dissatisfaction with Utah or the Jazz?

Is it just cause he stopped crashing pool parties since COVID?

Sort of feels like people on JazzFanz are just making assumptions to fit a narrative.

That said, it would not surprise me at all to hear that the dumb MAGA idiots reacting poorly to his advocacy soured him on Utah. I wouldn’t want to play for a fan base filled with racist MAGA idiots either, FWIW.

His latest is the fact that Utah legislature concluded that Utah schools should stay away from CRT. Donovan seems to be unhappy about it- the rich kid from a private high school that got a free college education and now is a multi-millionaire wants to lecture the world on privilege's.

Do people really blame Don for stuff? I don't see this happen.

Actually it sounds more like he wants teachers to teach kids about something.

I am not understanding the fear-based response to CRT that is rippling through conservative media. White fragility at its finest.

Here’s the thing — I want my kids to be presented with controversial, difficult topics at school to have to think through and weigh, because, you know, learning about things, including others’ perspectives, is literally the entire ****ing point of school.

If any other fan locations like twitter, other message boards, facebook, whatever are like this forum, I could see Don getting upset by what he sees.

I've never seen a fanbase overwhelming defend a star as much as we do Rudy while also doing everything possible to find ways to attack a star in Don. It is clear, and has been clear to me for years now, that Don is our superstar yet people are always nit-picking the heck out of his every single move or comment trying to find fault.

I've been a fan well before the days of Don, but the scrutiny he receives is pretty silly considering the Rudy police that protect him at all costs.

I think it makes sense to learn about controversial topics and think through things too. I'm not sure when they are wanting these things taught. I personally don't think that tying kids identity too strongly with race right away is a good thing. I don't think its a good idea to tie kids identity too strongly with any one thing in general, religion, gender, sexual preference, race etc. I'm not choosing to fight this battle, I was providing an example of DM's disgust with Utah and why I mentioned the perceived hypocrisy earlier.
