Probably because the PC rhetoric / faux racial and social outrage has become so over the top that its is even more stupid, to the extent that there's a backlash.

For those swept up in PC hysteria who see racist commentary everywhere, I'm sure that it is difficult to fathom why others are underwhelmed by the circumstances of this particular situation.  After all, Ferry read the word "African," and the other Hawks official sent an email wondering about demographics at the games.  That has to be racist, right?  Until you actually review the documentation, and then it doesn't seem nearly as controversial. Critical thinking appears to be a lost art when many are accustomed to consuming news in small bytes, and often being told how to interpret what's transpiring in the world by the same venues that are providing the interpretive spin on the news.  Factor in a sports media that is frothing at the mouth for an encore to the LA Clippers scandal from this summer, and it isn't difficult to see why some view this with even more jaded skepticism.

Despite that, you're right about one thing: people are entitled to their opinions, no matter what their preferred ideological beliefs.
