I don’t really want to get into a discussion of whether it was off base or not

Lol. What does that even mean?

Aye. Deron wasn't too fond of Jerry Sloan. He voiced it. Fans loved that

It was OK for me to be critical of Jerry, but in no way would that be OK for Deron to be.

He didn’t like playing in front of so many white people

No, what happened was that he stood up for the BLM movement and took some other

You mean BLM, that grifter organization that bilked millions and helped to spread lies and stoked racial division

There are different levels of BLM. D Mitchell isn’t an anarchist. Nuance matters
