    Somebody still has to come up with the money to buy his shares. It will take time to get a person or people to purchase Sarver’s shares, unless the minority owner has the money to buy out Sarver directly.

    The race thing isnt true. Anthony Edwards said homophobic things where are the 80 videos and calling for punishment?

    Latrell Sprewll assaulted then chocked his head coach. He was rewarded with millions of dollars by the nba

    Now these self righteous morons want to ban every old white dude for WORDS. Sad, yet hilarious

    The NBA is full of thugs mostly on the court and some like Sarver off the court.

    I think there is way worse than Robert Sarver and Adam Silver knows but he has to protect to the NBA. Robert got caught and has to take the fall, which will cost him his team but he will walk away a very rich man. Robert isn’t the best owner but looking at what he has tried to do the last 3 years with the Phoenix Suns I do believe he was trying to right his wrongs but his demons caught up with him. Something about Adam Silver’s interview isn’t sitting right with me. It was like watching a man who knew a lot of stuff but couldn’t and wouldn’t say anything

      Don’t care what anyone says, Robert Sarver is a HERO, a LEGEND, and ALWAYS welcome to come work for me at MY company, I will PAY HIM 2 MILLION A YEAR, STARTING. Even if he has to resign because his ideals got exposed, no one here cares. We AGREE with his ideals. FtheLeftNothingButABunchofTRAITORMONKEYS

    And what would have happend to a white guy “messing” with 26+ minority women ? Its called rich and famous privilege, this is just a bad take from you guys, who always wants to mix in race.

    its not just race its also class in a number of cases the owners will fire the white coach white lower level employees but never the owner

    question- Did carver call people the n**r slur or did he say it in the context of “why are black people allowed to say it but white people arent?” I read the later was one case.

    To me, the two are very different. Its sone thing to say the word is the context of a conversation about the word, quote another to call someone by that slur. Did he do both of these? the reporting on some of the specifics have been ambigous

    The next Best thing to do is not allow sarver any access to be around anything to with the team no games no practices suspend him from being around any of the organizations he owns with that behavior wnba and nba organizations

    Wow, you gotta really be a jackA$$ of ENORMOUS proportion, not to be able to control & comport yourself in a reasonable way, in public! It’s bad enough privately. What kinda entitled, right wing bigot & racist, misogynistic, stupid piece of $#¡T FOOL, does one have to be to expose others in a business setting to that level of AMORAL behavior? The abject narcissism that exists in the mind & spirit of those LIKE Sarver is a blyth & a boil on the A$$ of life! He, like too many bottom feeder rich pricks should/must be exposed & rooted out of society. He & the like shouldn’t be tolerated. A one year ban most definitely ain’t enough. EVERY person exposed to his $#¡T oughta sue his punk a$$ for every dollar they can get. Bankrupt that fool, just like his morals. His pockets should equal his character… Empty!

    We’ve allowed way too much of this negative energy to exist among HUMANS. Neanderthals & troglodytes are trying to perfect their tomfoolery. If they are not checked where they stand, we as a society won’t survive. The document stealing, corrupt policing, criminally sycophantic, fawningly parasitic politicians, insurrectionist thuggery, life, love & liberty sucking devils that walk among us are killing us AND we’re letting them! There should be SEVERE consequences for this $#¡T! These mofos are literally getting away with murder! Our collective sensibilities are in grave jeopardy from a few individuals, & they are growing in numbers. Time to exterminate these rodents! Reset standards & make examples of these perpetrators! Off with their pea brained heads. A reckoning is beckoning & an accounting is mounting!

    This is so stupid. The other owners aren’t going to force the guy out. Stop with the dumb false equivalences and realize it’s about power and money

    Anthony Edwards made a homophobic comment and he gets a fine. Jon Gruden makes a homophobic and racist comments. They both apologize but Grudens career is over!
    Lolololol
    The major sports leagues are such pandering dirtbags!
    They’ll destroy everything with this disgraceful political correct corruption!
