Khan really acts like a jerkoff sometimes. Being a better person than Vince McMahon is an incredibly low bar to clear. Tony’s shown a few times that you can be better than Vince and still be a grade-A prick.

Honestly, the speed of the response is an even worse look. So many other things, you take your time with but let a black won an call you out, you need to respond IMMEDIATELY. Honestly, truly embarrassing Like, part of me wants to say “he’s drinking and so he went instinctly” and that likely is a factor (it’s New Years) but it only turned New Years here so it’s almost 8 in Florida so…who’d start drinking at 8pm and be THAT drunk?

Yeah, there's really just no excuse for this one. He needs to delete and apologize. It's embarrassing.

Apologize and do a damn survey at the start of 2022, do an outreach program of some kind, hire someone to be a diversity Liason, something. It won’t get everyone on board, but it’d be something, man.

As someone who follows both the NFL and Premier League, I can’t say his response surprises me. Disappoints me? Yes. Surprises me? No.

Britt Baker retweeted Khans tweet. She's clearly ingested too much local anesthetic from her dentistry work.

Not only delete and apologize, but actually take Swole's criticisms to heart as a way to improve the company.

Yep. Tony's pissed off some people it seems. One thing that AEW did right is give people in the company a voice to be heard without fear of "punishment". Which is good to keep Tony himself in check This is a perfect example

There is nothing good that can come from saying something that unprofessional, a rare miss from Tony here. The bigger AEW will get, the more people might leave. If Swole leaving has your booker THIS upset then what's going to happen if a name like say MJF decides to jump ship? Tony needs to be better than this, period.

What a garbage tweet and attitude, makes him look thin-skinned, petty and tone deaf, so basically exactly as expected from a billionaire, even one with an ok rep. Be nice if he let some of the abusers in his company's contracts expire.
(And to complain about wrestling skills and brag that Jade had a win this month...)

Khan really should have kept his mouth shut here. Or at least screened his damn response with someone before tweeting that out, it felt disjointed, and is being recieved as such.
Khan has said openly he wants to push people like Darius Martin in 2022, he's also said he wants to be looser with the main event title picture going forward because he methodically planned out the first four AEW Champions as we've seen them before Dynamite even started. They have and are getting POC talent that can step up into the main event scene, and people like Keith Lee are on the horizon to do even more so potentially.
Essentially, don't get so defensive and just do the work, as that alone will silence the critics more than anything else. All a response like this does is make things worse, no matter the intention of it.
