Warning: This story is terrible on many levels. It's terrible because of the horrible behavior but it is also terrible that the behavior only surfaced after two rainmakers left and their former firm mysteriously "found" the emails that unearthed the behavior.

Summary:

The named partners at a U.S. law firm called Barber Ranen have quit their jobs. Their old law firm, Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, found many emails where these lawyers used racist, homophobic, and antisemitic language.

John Barber and Jeffrey Ranen were forced to resign. Barber, who was a top partner at Barber Ranen, and Ranen, who was in charge of the firm's finances, issues an apology.

"The last three days have been the toughest in our lives. We've had to face those emails," they said. "They don't show our real feelings or our true values."

Barber and Ranen started the new firm with over 100 lawyers from Lewis Brisbois. Ranen worked in Los Angeles and Barber worked in Newport Beach, California.

Lewis Brisbois stated that they didn't know about the emails and started looking into them after an anonymous complaint about the lawyers. Many of their emails, some from as long ago as 2008, were first reported by the New York Post.

Giannis' Comments After Series Loss Cause a BIG Disagreement Between Us

Comments on NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo made after a series-ending loss to the Miami Heat.

Here's the quote:

“It’s an old question. There’s no failure in sports. You know, there’s good days, bad days. Some days some days you are able to be successful, some days you’re not. Some days it’s your turn, some days it’s not your turn. And that’s what sports about. You don’t always win, some other other team’s gonna win. And this year somebody else is gonna win. Simple as that. We’re gonna come back next year, try to be better try to build good habits, try to play better, not have a 10 days stretch with [we] play bad basketball, you know, and hopefully we can win a championship. So 50 years from 1971 to 2021 that we didn’t win a championship, it was 50 years of failures? No, it was not. It was steps to it, you know, and we were able to win one.”
