Yeah, the USA threatening our country is hilarious. What a great joke. Hilarious.
I remember when you were just a rookie on this board just a little baby Yogurt Producer.
If things weren't going over your head you were yelling and screaming and having a giant outburst
about something.
All these years later I've never seen you actually have a civil conversation on any topic on
this board without you completely losing your ****
I'm not dealing with your emotions the day Masai let go not on this day lol

Re: Masai out; rest of management stay
Yep, they are probably thinking, well Bobby has been mentored by Masai for years so he knows his philosophy which is obvious at this point. Team guys who have a good IQ, versatile and have a chip on their shoulder.KL78192020 wrote:Rogers cost cutting. They don't see a need for both a GM and expensive president. Didn't they just do this with Shanahan on the leafs?
The telecom business has been slow. Gota makeup money elsewhere.
Bobby should do well, will miss Masai cause he ain't a suit, but on the positive side, Bobby has got that invaluable experience

This is what REAL leadership looks like:
He knew he was out, yet still ensured the raptors would be good hands, and extended the team so we wouldn't be in a total disarray...what a leader!
If we knew (Rogers) that Masai wasn't coming back, and it seem they had made the decision a while ago, At the very least, I'd try have wiggled a first rounder/pick for masai whom multiple teams had asked permission if he could be their President/GM, etc, rather than fire him for nothing. Maybe Masai isn't going to run another team, even though he'll have multiple offers.

Ed is a MAGA man, he didnt like Masai making the money he was making. This became clear since the last extension. Raptors will be like the Blue Jays in terms of politics and results over the years.

I wish we could all scoff and laugh at that.
Sadly it’s likelier than not. Racism is trending if you haven’t noticed. And Ed’s been an obvious one forever.
Old white man who nobody likes getting rid of the Black guy we all champion.
Looks like a duck, quakes like a duck…

Good point, assuming he will want another job in this league we should have tried to hold out for some draft comp.

Good question. But people in head office know.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

It’s weird that some people don’t believe racism motivates decisions in the workplace. I mean, there was that big article about Ed Rogers’ horrible treatment of Masai a few years back.
People think racists are going to come out and say, “we don’t want that n-word around here anymore!” Like, that’s not how racism in the workplace works. If it was that overt then it would never fly and it wouldn’t be as insidious as it is.
