Braun Eliminates DEI

You, sir, are full of crap. Racist this, racist that. I don't give a damn what color or sex a person is if they are the most qualified for the job, and continue to do it at that level after selection. In my many occupations over 50 years of employment I worked with and for both great and terrible people. Some of the least qualified were white. Most got to those positions because of a form of DEI called butt kissing and playing golf with the eight guys. I had male and female supervisors. Some were good. Some were bad. Good leaders are good leaders, and no amount of social engineering can change that. Much like the military or a sports team, good leaders produce more contented and productive employees. DEI only looks at race and sex without regard for ability and ambition. I don't care what sex or race you are. I want you to be productive and fulfilled in life. No amount of feel-good legislation can make that happen.

Bingo. "Most got to those positions because of a form of DEI called butt kissing and playing golf with the eight guys." That is exactly what I'm talking about and why DEI, or previously affirmative action, was put in place in the first place. DEI does not say hire any negro off of the street you can find. DEI is to give blacks and other minorities a chance that otherwise would not have been available. Not just about race. These folks have to be qualified. Race sure means a lot to y'all as y'all call folks DEI hires of folks that are or more qualified as their predecessors. Like Dept. of Defense LLoyd Austin for example.

Jones relegated Morton to the bench so I agree that he was offered to upgrade a position that he felt wasn’t improving.

Even if Morton had been "improving," Jones was a better player than him, and offered something no one else on the team had like him, athleticism.

It's about the team. Folks are too focused on individual players. If a big man comes in that Painter thinks is the next Edey, do you think he will say, no, I'm not going to take him because all my players are improving?

Perhaps they can but for this year, there is a set amount as it’s already been paid out. The problem is, as you add more players, the players who are already here are gonna want more money. How are you going to give a new guy a million is Loyer is only making $800,000 without making waves?

We know retention is Painters strategy so I really don’t see him dropping a bag to a new player or players without taking care of current guys first.

Of course, it's set for this year, that's not the argument. I don't think MP is going to throw around big money to bring in new players but if he did, I agree that you'd have to account for the need to 'top off' your existing core. I'm not saying what moves Matt can or should make, I'm just saying that it's unlikely to me that Matt wants to make a move next year and can't do it because he doesn't have the funds.

lol He did not go looking for Jones to fill the shoes of two players who didn't contribute a ton at the end. He went looking for Jones because he saw that he needed another player who could hit some shots and initiate some offense while playing great defense. Something neither of those guys did, and something that he knew he didn't have enough of on a team that needed that to make a run at a F4. If he had one more spot and BOTH of those guys were still here he'd have still gone after Jones.

Why do you think that the total is a fixed amount? I agree that it's not unlimited but as stated previously, Matt and the athletic department have enough connections with deep pockets that if they said 'we think we can add x,y,z for an incremental $2M and it will really help our FF chances', I'd be shocked if they couldn't raise additional funds.

Yep. Painter went looking for a seasoned guard after 2 veterans, Newman and Jenkins, left.

3. Painter sees a player that is a helpful addition to a team just this close to making a run, like last season.
4. Painter wants a depth piece. Like say next season when we will only have three bigs.
5. A unique player emerges that's near NBA or NBA talent that would instantly elevate the team and he thinks he would also be a cultural and team fit.

Okay, let’s say it’s $4mil. Now how much of that do you think the big 3 are gobbling up? I would say >50%.

Dude, I don't know what your call it. But saying tough words ain't going to move foreign governments or terrorist organizations. What about the tough words Chump said a few years ago that Mexico was going to pay for the wall? The US is till waiting on a $20 Billion check. Chump couldn't even get the republican controlled House and Senate to build a wall.

Keep telling yourself that. I supposed Trudeau's resignation had nothing to do with Trump either?

Amazingly, 145 House Dems vote against bill to deport ILLEGAL migrants who commit sexual assault & domestic abuse.

They still don't get it and are hard wired to their far extremist left positions......can you imagine finding the mental gymnastics it must take to say ...... "NO, we want illegal migrant sex abusers to stay in America." "Beat your wife? Sure, we are good with that too".
LOL. They are still NUTS!

Dems are like the person who keeps committing crimes but then complains about ending up in jail. They simply don't learn.
You'd think that after the ass whoppin they took in Nov, that they'd reflect on some of their positions. Apparently not.

Braun Eliminates DEI

By you calling that "Winning", you sir are a racist. You and others that support that MAGA anti-DEI BS all want white men to control everything regardless of qualifications. You and other supporters of this crap should be ashamed.

That is one of the dumbest moves possible. This is why this MAGA cult is BS. Getting rid of Office of Chief Equity, Inclusion and Opportunity does not make America great. What makes America great is embracing diversity in the workplace and schools. Mike Braun is an idiot. Even though Holcomb was republican, he seemed to be a decent dude. Non-MAGA for the most part. He made quite a few trips up to the "Da Region" from time to time. I bet in four years, Braun won't make it up to my area once. Red states like FL and others have done the same but Holcomb never succumbed to that BS of getting rid of DEI programs in the state unless I missed something.

Wow, you pulled the race card in like, 9 words. That's quick even for your standards.

DEI is inherently racist. Why? Because it purports that you treat someone differently simply because of the color of their skin. It's hard to believe that the people back in the day, who fought for civil rights, for equal and fair treatment, would support DEI initiatives.

Mike Braun signs executive order eliminating DEI from the state government. Along with closing down the Office of Chief Equity, Inclusion and Opportunity.

Winning.

Having a chief DEI officer might be the most woke DEI move any company could ever make. Ironic isn't it.
I bet a lot of them are updating their resumes.

It’s not that you wanted Shaka, who is really good. It’s that you wanted Painter fired, which is one of the dumbest takes of all time (you weren’t alone).

At the time, (losing to a 16 seed as a 1 seed and that being a disturbing trend of tourny failures for Painter), it seemed like a logical move. I'm super glad he wasn't and that we went to the FF last year.
