Open letter to Donovan Mitchell:

Utah and its residents owe you an apology for not making it clear that Utah Senate President Stuart Adams and the Legislature were completely out of line with its race theory resolution. I was personally disgusted at the time and proud that you were willing to speak up publicly. The travesty of this resolution was on par with the lies that Alex Jones publicly disseminated about Sandy Hook. It defies comprehension that such an un-Christian attitude is not publicly denounced by all religious leaders in our state.

Unfortunately, the corruption that exists in the Utah Legislature and a lack of respect for equal rights and opportunities are nation-wide problems.

Please give Utah a second chance. Even though Quin Snyder was a great coach, I think Will Hardy will be even better. The moves that Danny Ainge has already made should give you cause for excitement at the realistic possibilities of winning a championship here in Utah.

Regardless, please know that the majority of Utah loves and respects you. I was so impressed with your intelligence and exceptional maturity at such a young age when you were drafted by the Utah Jazz. I hope you choose to want to remain here.

Scot Morgan, Salt Lake City
