I'm going to go with #2 being much more likely to cause friction between a player and a coach.

And agree or disagree with the intent, anyone with an IQ north of 80 knows that a white man calling a black man "thug" in 2020 isn't going to be received well.

I disagree with all of this.

I want to make a few counterpoints but it’s a touchy subject perhaps not fit for this sub. At any rate ... where millions/billions of dollars are concerned- feelings should take a back seat. There’s so much more ... but that sums it up.
