Mitchell was genuinely hurt. Perhaps more than any star in Utah Jazz history, Mitchell has become a man of the community. He’s someone who has tirelessly given autographs. He’s someone who once pulled up on a random local Fourth of July barbeque. He’s someone who attended a Utah State football game — almost two hours away in Logan, Utah — simply because he was asked to on Twitter. He’s someone who attended the high school basketball championships and then took a photo with and tweeted at the MVP after the title game. So, in a large measure, Mitchell felt little betrayed. “I was pretty pissed off,” Mitchell said. “It opened a lot of eyes, to be honest with you. When that post came, and the comments, people said don’t read them. But it’s tough when they’re outrageous and crazy. It’s not like they were bots. They were people who live not only here but in different places.”
