Has everyone even seen the context of the comments that has raised all of this?    Eman77ster posted below a report that purports to be the scouting report that has caused the stir.

If that is actually it, I don't see what all of the discussion is about, nor do I understand why Danny Ferry would fall on his sword and accept any sort of punishment in connection with this - - other than in an attempt to quell the PC lynch mob before it gets too much more out of hand.

First, the comments contained in the report are probably in bad taste, but I am not convinced that they are clearly racist.

Second, if you read the entire portion of the report and the comments in their context, they appear like they may have been made by a Cleveland Front Office person, not an Atlanta Scout.      The speaker talks about his ("Deng's) physical condition when we got him.   Also says "I would have no problem bringing him back."

Third, the way the report is set up, it appears to be reporting what others have said.    Whoever made those comments doesn't appear to be involved at all in drafting the report or assembling the information that is reflected there.   In other words they don't appear to be the words of someone in the Hawks organization, unless they hired someone from the Cavs front office.

Am I missing something here??
