"Atlanta Hawks GM Danny Ferry may soon be out of a job after an e-mail surfaced late Monday night from minority owner Michael Gearon.
The report from WSB-TV in Atlanta says that the Hawks minority owner sent this e-mail to Bruce Levenson asking for Ferry to be fired after he reportedly read aloud comments in a scouting report about Luol Deng saying, "He has a little African in him, not in a bad way, but he's a guy who would have a nice store out front, but sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back."
The letter from Gearon is strongly worded and says the Hawks have no other choice. Gearon's plea to Levenson was clear:
We are calling on you, as majority owner and NBA governor, to take swift and severe action against general manager Danny Ferry. Our advisors tell us there is no other choice to ask for Ferry's resignation and if he refuses, to terminate him for cause under his employment contract.
Atlanta has been in a freefall as an organization after Levenson self-reported a racially-charged e-mail to the NBA, which prompted an announcement that he would be selling the team.
Previously, it was thought that Ferry would be disciplined for his role in the scandal.
Now, with the alleged e-mail from Gearon, he could be on his way out."

Channel 2’s Sports Director Zach Klein obtained 2-page letter from June 12 sent from Hawks minority owner Michael Gearon to Bruce Levenson.
In the letter, Gearon is quoted as saying “We are calling on you, as majority owner and NBA governor, to take swift and severe action against general manager Danny Ferry. Our advisors tell us there is no other choice to ask for Ferry's resignation and if he refuses, to terminate him for cause under his employment contract.”
It was letter that started an internal investigation that eventually revealed the 2012 email from Leveson and the inappropriate and offense comments regarding African-Americans who attend games at Philips Arena.
Gearon wrote the letter after Ferry, on a conference call with management and ownership, described free agent target Luol Deng “he has a little African in him, not in a bad way, but he's a guy who would have a nice store out front, but sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back.”
Levenson said he voluntarily reported the email in July to the NBA, which pressured Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell his team after he was recorded making racially charged comments. Steve Ballmer became the team's new owner Aug. 12.
"We've had continuing discussions with the league office about the incidents of disturbing statements attributed to representatives of the Atlanta Hawks' franchise," said Ron Klempner, acting executive director of the NBPA. "We recognize that there is an ongoing investigation regarding the circumstances, and we will continue to monitor these events and take any action we deem appropriate."

Breh, they've had one for decades now.
I still feel some type of way about the dress code

I did at the time. Now I don't at all. Imagine your favorite player being injured and sitting on the bench dressed like Trinidad James.
Steven A is that you?

I read the owner's email and didn't think it was racist, just honest. He basically said Black people don't buy season tickets and stuff(they don't) and white fans who would buy them feel uncomfortable being the "minority" at games full of Black people(they do). That's reality 
This Ferry shyt tho....
