Default Sarver Suspended 1 year, $10M Fine

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...lace-standards

NBA missed on this one.

If Sterling gets a lifetime ban, Sarver shouldn't only get 1 year and a fine.

Recorded audio was the nail in the coffin for Sterling, iirc.

Suns employees had none.

So let me just start out by saying I think Sarver should be forced to sell.

That being said I think this is worthy of some more nuanced discussion.

Sterling had an absolute mountain of indisputable evidence against him and was just an all around terrible guy.

I also think that there is a big difference in being outwardly racist and repeating what someone else said. Clearly, both are wrong and unacceptable but I think one is worse for obvious reasons.

Rumor is Anthony Edwards is going to get a 2 year suspension and $20 million fine. NBA doesn’t play around with this kind of thing.

Thought this was a dead story last year. Once it hit SASs airwaves and he voiced that he didn't think he should be fired, figured it was all woke smoke.

Guess there was actual real smoke eh?

Not enough for the circling wolves. There will be big pressure to force him to sell.

This is the first story I've read where the publication censors the word but includes the last letter so that you know whether he's saying "-a" or "-r".

Lebron wants Sarver and Ant Man out of the league. Good to see him stand up for equality. Bravo


“Read through the Sarver stories a few times now. I gotta be honest…Our league definitely got this wrong. I don’t need to explain why. Y’all read the stories and decide for yourself. I said it before and I’m gonna say it again, there is no place in this league for that kind behavior. I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership. But this isn’t right. There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place. Don’t matter if you own the team or play for the team. We hold our league up as an example of our values and this aint it.

Did he actually post that? Asking because I don't get on social media.

I'm surprised they didn't steal his team away from him and give five 20% ownership stakes of it to LeBron, and four other minority ballers of Silver's choosing. I literally wouldn't have batted an eye.

I actually applaud Silver for having the balls and prudence to say HEY FELLAS WE CAN'T STEAL PEOPLE'S TEAMS FROM THEM WHENEVER THEY F UP.

Don't be surprised if he does a 180...actually, by your previous post, I guess you wouldn't be surprised. I think Silver is the same guy that said they weren't going to be doing the politics crap and then they went right back to politics. I don't know which major league is worse, but all of them are in a ratings decline.

Yes. Both of them were black as well but Bron Bron never misses a chance to try his best to fight for social justice.

Got it, yeah I had heard about that and was amazed at how much of an idiot LeBron could be.
