Irate. Upsetting. Not Surprised.
Owners come and go, but when you put on the badge, you can never undo that. It’s about the fans. It’s about the players. It’s about us.
A new dawn is coming and we’re going to burn it down and build something beautiful.

One thing I’m absolutely not going to do is use his privilege as an excuse for his comments. I hope that people, in this club and beyond, will choose accountability and empathy moving forward. I stand in complete solidarity with the decision of RSL players. 3/3
Messages about inclusion and diversity are in complete contradiction with an owner who refuses to understand the relevance of a player strike for racial equality. I’m disappointed, but not surprised, by the lack of understanding in this situation. 2/
Any player’s hope is to be in an environment where they are fully supported not only as a player, but most importantly as a person. For DLH to take this very real situation for the black community, and try to turn it around and make it about himself is completely unacceptable. 1/
A call to all executives to see the humanity before the financials.
I’m incredibly inspired by you, @tziarra, and the impact you’ve had on so many so quickly. Royals/RSL are better for having people like you and @kickback_nedum in the organization. I hope everyone is listening.
Dell Loy Hansen's recent comments do not stand with players. They do not stand with black lives. They do not stand with the Court SG's values.
At this time we will be dismantling.
