Well this did not take long.
By now everyone knows what is going on with the Hawks. Instead of dealing with a new season, they are dealing with allegations of racism among the team owner and general manager Danny Ferry.
And now you can hear exactly what Ferry said (allegedly) in the audio below.
Of course Ferry has denied that he was making those comments on his own accord and that he was simply repeating someone else’s remarks towards Luol Deng.
“In regards to the insensitive remarks that were used during our due diligence process, I was repeating comments that were gathered from numerous sources during background conversations and scouting about different players,” Ferry said, via the team’s official release. “I repeated those comments during a telephone conversation reviewing the draft and free agency process. Those words do not reflect my views, or words that I would use to describe an individual and I certainly regret it. I apologize to those I offended and to Luol, who I reached out to Monday morning.”
That hole Ferry is digging is getting deeper and deeper.
