What a tone deaf idiot

The young Phoenix Suns team had been toiling at the bottom of the NBA's standings for years, missing the playoffs for six straight seasons while churning through head coaches. Watson was the fourth in as many years. Still, the Suns were playing the eventual NBA champions close, even leading by 13 in the first half. But it didn't last. The Warriors took control in the fourth quarter and cemented a 106-100 win, dropping the Suns to 0-3.
After the loss, Suns majority owner Robert Sarver entered the coaches locker room, Watson told ESPN.
"You know, why does Draymond Green get to run up the court and say [N-word]," Sarver, who is white, allegedly said, repeating the N-word several times in a row.
"You can't say that," Watson, who is Black and Hispanic, told Sarver.
"Why?" Sarver replied. "Draymond Green says [N-word]."
"You can't f---ing say that," Watson said again.

He's done. So much of this is way worse than Sterling. It'll follow him everywhere if he tries staying on as owner.

Sorry, but I don't see it happening.
Sterling had an audio recording. Sarver has allegations. Yes, a lot of them, but they're still allegations. And he's already denying the vast majority of them so this basically turns into he-said-they-said.
Unless something like a video, an audio recording or a documented email comes out, I don't see the trigger being pulled on him.
This is just my two cents, though. I'm not a Suns fan so take it for what it's worth.

Man what a racist creep. Who the hell passes around photos of their wife and talks about their sex with their employees?

Spoke w/former #Suns employee David Bodzin, who worked for the team 14 months - from 2013-14:
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) November 4, 2021
"One of my last days we did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge - no players, no coaches. [Robert] Sarver comes up behind me and pulls my pants down in front of the entire organization."
"Head of HR came up to me tongue and cheek saying, 'please don't press charges against us.' If I'd said something, I would have been blacklisted from sports.
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) November 4, 2021
"It's well known about sexual harassment on the road [w/#Suns] and people [often women] being fired for coming forward."

Defense has definitely picked up. That was a fun 3rd quarter, before our bench let the Kings get the momentum back in the 4th. Monty waited way too long to get the starters back in.

Birds of a feather, I suppose
NEWS: Former Suns employees receive messages from Penny Sarver, the wife of the Phoenix Suns majority owner Robert Sarver. Said one: "I don't know how to interpret it other than as a threat." Penny Sarver denies she was trying to intimidate anyone. https://t.co/kINnsMAWwK

"Please put your hatred aside and realize the hurt you are causing by spreading lies and fabrications. Is your time in the spotlight that important? If something happens to one of my children, I will hold you and Earl Watson personally responsible. Think about your own child for a second and imagine the tables turned."
"I am so terribly saddened that you would say such untrue things about my husband. Your interpretation of what happened is so far from the truth. You are crushing my families lives. Thanks for that."
"You are such a liar. In your trying to destroy my husband with [your] lies -- you have destroyed my family and children."
Ugh. Is there anything more despicable than using your family and your children as a shield in the face of adversity?
