Robert Sarver is reportedly frustrated with his punishment, illustrating he has learned nothing from this process, Herring_NBA writes
Upon closely reading the extensive findings in the Robert Sarver investigation Tuesday, I could reach only one conclusion. Short of a Donald Sterling–sized smoking gun, there likely isn’t any sort of behavioral conduct the NBA would deem ugly enough to force an owner to sell., throughout the years, the Suns and Mercury owner:—used the n-word in claiming to repeat what a Black person had said, even after being told multiple times by his Black employees that he was out of line for doing so.
Repeatedly made crude comments about the bodies of female team employees, including Suns dancers, and in one case walked past one of his employees in the hallway and asked, “Did you get an upgrade this summer?” upon noticing she’d gotten a breast augmentation. Despite all that, in his response to the investigation, Sarver said, in part, “While I disagree with some of the particulars in the report, I would like to apologize for my words and actions that offended our employees.
But let’s be clear on something: In some ways that makes some of these findings even worse.
, there would have been real potential for a long, drawn-out lawsuit had commissioner Adam Silver banned Sarver and made him sell his team. And unlike with the Sterling case, where there was a flashpoint moment that required an immediate response from the league—one that the NBA could willingly go to the legal mat for, if need be—this one took more than 10 months to investigate.
