On Tuesday, the NHL’s San Jose Sharks announced that Mike Grier, brother of Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier, would be taking named as their general manager.
By accepting the position, he became the first Black general manager in the history of the league.
When the news broke on social media, Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips might’ve done something we’re all guilty of, and that’s looking at something a little too fast and jumping to an immediate reaction without fully understanding what’s going on.
Phillips tweeted that he originally believed that it was Chris Grier that was leaving the Dolphins for another job, and the former first-round pick was clearly upset.
Man my heart dropped for a second I thought CG left us 😂😂😂 https://t.co/gk6ZLxk9PM

At least we know that Phillips has an affinity for his general manager and would be upset if he were to find a job elsewhere. Luckily for him, that’s not the case.
