PayPal has an ultimatum for the Phoenix Suns and Robert Sarver: either he resigns, or they pull the plug on their sponsorship deal.
... either their disgraced owner resigns, or one of the biggest companies in the world pulls the plug on a lucrative sponsorship deal., released a strongly worded statement Friday morning ... and he didn't mince words.
"PayPal is a values-driven company and has a strong record of combatting racism, sexism and all forms of discrimination. We have reviewed the report of the NBA league's independent investigation into Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver and have found his conduct unacceptable and in conflict with our values."
The statement continued ..."PayPal's sponsorship with the Suns is set to expire at the end of the current season. In light of the findings of the NBA's investigation, we will not renew our sponsorship should Robert Sarver remain involved with the Suns organization, after serving his suspension."Of course, a lengthy investigation revealed the 60-year-old Suns owner allegedly used the n-word on at least five occasions.
Still, many people, including some of the biggest NBA stars in the world, have publicly said the NBA screwed up the punishment ... 'cause they went far too easy on Sarver.
