If I’m being charitable here, I’d recognize that all of us live in our own bubbles. Some of us recognize it and try hard to expand the boundaries of our bubbles, to enlighten and improve ourselves. Some of us don’t or seemingly can’t, for a hole host of reasons. It could be that Sweeney and Neely live in such small bubbles that they just couldn’t appreciate how deeply upsetting this move would be to many people, including players in the locker room. Maybe they also convinced themselves too easily that this all happened when he was a kid, and kids make mistakes. Heck, Miller’s 20 years old - he’s still a kid. And that’s what led to what objectively was a serious lack of almost any due diligence in a case raising an enormous red flag. As a fan of this team, I find that in itself to be pathetic and maddening and bordering on incompetent, but it’s perhaps understandable.
That’s being charitable. More critically, there is a lot here suggesting that they just didn’t give a damn. That they intentionally ignored the giant, well established red flag and based this entirely on a talent evaluation, cynically hoping/expecting any blowback to be minor or easily waved off. If that’s the case, then this failure imo goes beyond bad management. It’s a failure to be decent human beings. And that sucks.
