My comment wasn't in reference to this topic specifically, but in every communication she ever seems to do.

She didn't need to add in the comment that they could go wherever they wanted. While technically true, it feels like a slap in the face to a city that financially supported the organization for over 50 years.
And then you add on the comments KB seems to make about the situation with Hendrickson where she mentions she feels he needs to be happy with how much he's making. She just has the same communication style that doesn't seem to factor in the emotional response from the players/city/fans.

I bring it up because at my company, I am one of those in leadership, and our culture is one promoting emotional intelligence and empathy toward our users, stakeholders, and staff. If any of us were to talk publicly like KB does, we would likely be reprimanded by upper leadership.

I get though that some people don't care HOW someone communicates, and even admires how some can be incredibly direct and "**** people's reactions" to what is said.
That's just not the communication style I care for, same with many others.
