The Utah Jazz are investigating a team executive for alleged racially insensitive comments made in 2015.

On Wednesday, former Jazz player Elijah Millsap wrote on Twitter that Dennis Lindsey, the team's executive vice president of basketball operations, directed bigoted remarks at him during an exit interview.

Millsap wrote in part, "Almost 6yrs ago. On April 16, 2015, D. Lindsey made bigot remarks in my exit interview while conversing with Q. Snyder 'if u say one more word, I'll cut your Black a-- and send you back to Louisiana.'" The team released a statement on Thursday saying, "The Jazz organization has zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior of any kind. We take these matters seriously. We have proactively engaged outside counsel to work in coordination with the NBA to thoroughly investigate this matter. We seek a comprehensive and unbiased review of the situation." Lindsey told reporters that he categorically denies making that statement, according to the team. Head Coach Quin Snyder denied any knowledge of the comments.

Fake BS. Blacks have zero credibility with these reports. They are literally 99.9% always proven false. This POS should be investigated for lying.

The owner of the Warriors said all blacks are hoods - he got no punishment.

‘if u say one more word, I’ll cut your Black a— and send you back to Louisiana.’”

—————————————————

What a horrible thing to say. I hope they fire whoever said this. Nobody deserves to be sent back to Louisiana.

How horrible.

“This POS should be investigated for lying.”

That for sure will not happen when Harris becomes the first SOTUS.

Slut of the United States.

The owners of the Warriors and their gay GM fired Mark Jackson because he was black. And because he was Christian. They said those things didn't fit with their move to San Francisco.

Mark Jackson is the only coach in the history of the franchise to have improved the team's record every year he was coach, or three years in a row, for that matter.

If true and he was so offended, why did he wait 6 years to report it?
