Sarver once used the N-word when trying to explain to a staffer why he preferred hiring Lindsey Hunter over Dan Majerle as head coach in 2013, according to a high-level executive who heard the remark.

"These [N-words] need a [N-word]," Sarver told the staffer of his largely Black team, according to the executive.

To quote the great Paul Mooney

Nahhh she caved in and got the vaccine although she complained about it after. She had no other choice but to as those conservative news outlets are/were requiring the vaccine as well.


It’s hilarious because today she’s forced to keep commenting on the Aaron Rodgers and Sarver story nonstop on sports center today,

she just had a awkward exchange just now. Her co-anchor was just calling Rodgers selfish over and over again and turned to Sage for a response.


Sage: And everyone on First Take agrees with you :beli:

The only possible good thing for the nba is that sarver isn't even a billionaire on paper, so he'll prob do the jerry richardson and take money instead of being forcibly removed

ON THE EVENING of Oct. 30, 2016, at Talking Stick Resort Arena in downtown Phoenix, Earl Watson, in just his third game as the Suns' head coach, faced a tall task: beat the powerhouse Golden State Warriors.

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.



Shout out to EARL WATSON
