Hawks co-owner wanted Danny Ferry dismissed over Luol Deng comments
Posted Sep 9, 2014
Atlanta Hawks owner Bruce Levenson may have removed himself from a dysfunctional situation by announcing on Sunday that he would sell his controlling interest in the franchise following the discovery of a two-year-old racially-insensitive email, but the saga is far from over. The attention has now shifted to General Manager Danny Ferry, whose use of an inflammatory comment about Luol Deng during a free agency conference call last June ignited the current firestorm that resulted in the second NBA owner in the past five months to depart over inappropriate racial comments.
