An abrupt firing leaves San Antonio Spurs dance team hurt and suspicious

The San Antonio Spurs announced in May they will be replacing their dance squad with a 'family-friendly' co-ed 'hype team'. The fear was first incited by an email: an 18 May 2018 message from the San Antonio Spurs staff to members of the Spurs Silver Dancers squad, less than a month after the team's season ended with a first-round playoff loss to the Golden State Warriors, asking them to attend a meeting that same day about a new 'hype team' they were introducing.
