Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver got off light with a one-year suspension and a $10 million fine after an NBA investigation into conduct allegations.

If any one of us committed any one of those transgressions in our workplace, we would be getting toe-tagged by HR.

A similar increase this year would mean an increase in value of $108 million, which seems conservative, given the completion of renovations to Footprint Center.

They began by noting the investigation found “none of Mr. Sarver’s actions or comments were based on racist, prejudiced, or misogynistic intent.” And they point out the league supposedly confirmed that there was no evidence, whatsoever, to support several of the accusations in ESPN’s reporting from November 2021.
