New story: Jazz head coach Quin Snyder donated $500 2x to GOP congressional candidate Burgess Owens, who has spoken against BLM and NBA players' protests.
I tried to dig in to the context around the donations. Snyder and the Jazz declined to comment.

Snyder and the Jazz hosted Owens' youth nonprofit, Second Chance 4 Youth, at a Feb. 21 home game. The donations came on May 3 and June 3. Snyder has been very supportive of BLM and Jazz player protests. But again, he declined to explain donation.
More information in the story.

.@tribjazz and I have written 27 Jazz articles in the last 16 days. That's a lot of information! I figured I'd link the best of them in a short thread here, just in case you've missed any:

So when ESPN brought DraftExpress on board, I knew it was going to make DX's content harder to find. What I didn't know was how much of it just wouldn't be replaced, even with ESPN Insider. No player pages this year, like two scouting report videos, it goes on and on. It's awful.
In the interest of positivity, though, I thought I'd start a thread listing all of the cool and new draft sites I have been finding good info on. Here goes, and feel free to suggest some I may have missed.
