well he's done.
he did look like a nazi IMo
Posting this in the Spurs forum, because Ferry is a former Spur, and he worked in our front office for some time. The racist comments he made are far worse than the one's made by Levenson, and I am absolutely appalled that this is coming from someone who worked for the Spurs, an organization that has historically been at the forefront for its principles of inclusiveness and diversity. What a disgrace.

Maybe Bud wants to come home now if Pop were to ever hang it up?
Bud is probably a Grand Wizard tbh
Tactless crappy remarks or not, I was genuinely shocked that he got another GM job after the hash he made of Cleveland.
He is toast...........
Paving the way for a coach bud return tbh
Ferry said a potential free agent target “has a little African in him. Not in a bad way, but he’s like a guy who would have a nice store out front but sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back.” Gearon said Ferry then described the player as “a two-faced liar and a cheat.”
Lol'd at that part.
How awkward would that have been if Deng choose ATL and then this came out?
He's long gone already. People overrate the "Spurs Organization" factor sometimes, more so recently because of 5. It doesn't matter who you worked for before, it's in yourself.
Not that I am defending racists cuz I am not, but are we going to act like black executives have never said anything racist about a white basketball player, i mean come on now lol
Political correctness
ESPN reporting that Ferry was repeating comments from gathered reports on Deng. Ferry released a statement to that end, saying the comments didn't reflect his views and apologizing.
Nothing...other than being a two-faced lying African that sells counterfeit crap out of the back of his shop.
Ah crap, apparently he sold me Rollex.
Yowch, pretty awful things to say about someone even if they are just "repeated." Give me a break.
Ok.... what exactly is racist about what Ferry said?
He said there was a little African in him... an he meant it as a compliment.
However, he goes on to say that he questions Deng's honesty.
How is this racist?
I mean you can say the samething about just everyone:
Ginobili --- has a little Argentinian in him. Not in a bad way, but .... ( reckless and turnover prone )
Diaw -- has a little French in him. Not in a bad way, but .... ( enjoys his food too much )
Jeremy Lin - has a little Asian in him. Not in a bad way, but ... ( too analytical and doesn't take risks )

He was born in South Sudan...
But still, why would he be called a two-faced liar? I mean, he has a very clean reputation, nice guy and all, but is he actually some scoundrel in real life stabbing people in the back?
That's why Ferry is in the right now, Deng has no baggage, standup guy, involved in charities, etc but because he was born in Africa there must be something shady about him... It's called racism.
