Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul was left ‘horrified and disappointed’ by the report on owner Robert Sarver’s conduct as he slammed the NBA’s sanctions as insufficient. I think if they had made findings that, in fact, his conduct was motivated by racial animus, absolutely that would have had an impact on on the ultimate outcome here. Paul was also a member of the Clippers during the Sterling controversy and did not hold back on voicing his thoughts on the situation then either. The veteran floor general even went as far as to threatened to boycott the season if Sterling remained the owner. It was relevant,’ Silver said after the league’s Board of Governors meetings concluded. In a statement on Tuesday, the NBA revealed it found that Sarver used the N-word on at least five occasions among other transgressions from his nearly two-decade tenure as owner of the Suns and WNBA’s Mercury. I am of the view that the sanctions fell short in truly addressing what we can all agree was atrocious behavior. In addition to saying the N-word ‘at least five times,’ Sarver is also accused of using language and engaging in conduct demeaning to female employees, including the time he asked a pregnant worker if she would be unable to perform her duties after becoming a mother. I was and am horrified and disappointed by what I read. Had that not been the case, Silver indicated, Sarver’s punishment – a one-year suspension and $10million fine – would have been far more severe. However, despite the revelations, the league has allowed Sarver to keep his position with the Suns. This conduct especially towards women is unacceptable and must never be repeated. Silver also insisted that contrasts could be made between Sarver’s case and Sterling‘s as he said: ‘This case is very different. In a statement released by the league, it announced that an independent investigation had concluded that ‘Mr. He posted: ‘Like many others, I reviewed the report. The unidentified woman was told by a team executive to start looking for a new job, and was ultimately demoted. Sarver engaged in conduct that clearly violated common workplace standards, as reflected in team and League rules and policies’. Suns and Mercury owner Sarver was suspended by the NBA for one year and fined $10million following a league investigation into allegations that he engaged in racism, sexism, and bullying. However, NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed on Wednesday that Sarver was likely spared even stronger sanctioning by the NBA for his racist, misogynistic and hostile words and actions because of one key conclusion by investigators. Paul took to Twitter to hit out at the sanctions, believing that Sarver should have faced a harsher punishment. It’s not that one was captured on tape and the other isn’t.
