Get over it
DLee they called you. Big deal. There was no gun to your head and no one called you a sissy.

D-Lee is usually a class act.
I’m surprised at this. They meant no disrespect. They asked, he explained why he couldn’t go, that should have been the end of it.

chances of this being misquoted by the Media?
I do not see Lee making these statements, like you said he is pure class, and doesnt lash out often

Yeah....
… but you never know, maybe they caught him at a bad time. It’s impossible to look perfect in these days. Somebody is always going to catch you on the verbal toilet.

Who are those officials?
Yeah, dunno about disrespect… DLee sounded like he was venting at their annoyance. Oh well…

I don't get it
Sounds almost like he said “no” and they kept pestering him about it. For Lee to get that annoyed to actually talk about it to reporters, tells me they crossed a line and kept pressuring in which case, I can’t blame him for being annoyed.
I’ve been as critical of Lee as anybody over the last year or so, but IMO this just shows that he’s trying hard to keep his focus on the team that’s paying his salary-good for him.
