Sarver said the N-word at least five times in repeating or purporting to repeat what a Black person said
Sarver used language and engaged in conduct demeaning of female employees. Among other examples, he told a pregnant employee that she would be unable to do her job upon becoming a mother; berated a female employee in front of others and then commented that women cry too much;
Sarver commented and made jokes frequently to employees in large and small settings about sex and sex-related anatomy, including by making crude or otherwise inappropriate comments about the physical appearance and bodies of female employees and other women.
Over 50 current and former employees reported that Sarver frequently engaged in demeaning and harsh treatment of employees — including by yelling and cursing at them — that on occasion constituted bullying under workplace standards.
So he said the dreaded N-word because a black guy said it and he said something along the lines of do not use the n-word.
He told a pregnant employee the truth.
He told another women the truth.
Made crude jokes.
The dude had a temper, like everyone in sports.
He is fined 10 million for it. This smells like a hit job.
I do not want to channel my inner TheImp but I bet that he will have to hire more women and donate to women led causes to make amends.
Oh it’s 100% a hit job. No different than what happened at Blizzard.
I do find the n-word shit to be especially infuriating. This is twice now that effective white male executives have been ousted from their own companies because they used the dreaded n-word in discussing or quoting other people using the n-word.
The woman then cried and told HR. It is annoying to both have to put up with women being overly emotional and also having to pretend that they aren't overly emotional.
That's the most hitjobberiest hitjob chickenscratch I've ever read. "He was harsh to employees" "He quoted someone else" "He made a penis joke" "He didn't think an employee could juggle raising a literal human being and a job in the highest level of the profession".
I have zero doubt in my mind that the teams that "Magically" do well every year, the Patriots and the Penguins and the Cardinals of their leagues, spend hundreds of manhours a week less on this diversity crap and target the turboautists of the world to feed information to the gut feeling kings of the modern day to do the work that crap teams fill with instinct bankrupt 2+2=4 40 hour work week needs 2 hours a day for yoga filler, no "I can powermom between paying attention to my bundle of joy and also this uber demanding ultracompetitive meritocracy of a job." It's telling that the "original programmers were women" when it was connecting the wires to make sure that 10*1=10, but once it became asking the hardware to do things previously undreamed of like transmitting high quality video at high speeds, fostering P2P file sharing, designing physics engines, and innovating on the design and size of hardware coding became a man's job, and now that it's working with GUI's for LinkedIn to do what's going to be automatable in 5 years there's a big push for woman programmers.
We lived without conflict for over 100.000 years...anyway my point is that before any race or gender war starts those "authorities" will lose their heads.
I'm personally confused as to why they didn't outright ban him if they claim his abuse is so severe. They did the same with that sterling fellow a while back, and if the claims are to be believed what this guy did were a thousand times worse. To me this is them going after him, realizing they have no evidence to actually prove it, then backpedalling hoping noone will notice.
I unironically agree. They've funded the WNBA to a point where they legitimately would have been better off paying women to come to the games for all that RoI, but they eat it up gladly while playing games in Dubai and Beijing. The NBA is far and away the most cucked league in America, beyond the NBA and MLB. It's a womanly league more focused on "Storylines" "Drama" and "What stars are courtside" than the actual athletic contest. It's just a clownshow with acrobats to frame the whole shebang.
If it makes you feel better, I think I crushed the soul of a black woman the other day when I asked her why she thought it was appropriate to use the word slave in front of a Slavic person.
I had a funny thought the other day about which would be more offensive to call someone, nigger or slave, and imagined a scenario where rappers began a campaign trying to "reclaim" the word slave by repeating it in all their "songs" in place of the nigger word. "Sup my slave," "I was shootin' b-ball with a couple of Grove Street slaves," and so on.
well for the longevity and use of multiple languages taking on the slur, esclavus, or as we know it slave is by far the longest running racial slur in human history. The difference is slavic people dont get offended as badly as our more emotional counterparts who have demanded claim to the slur.
The crime of noticing. Highest offense in a society that asks for no past information to be remembered and rote repetition of what's directly in your face. We will have always been at war with Eurasia soon.

Reminds me of that time where the boss said that women overreact and all the women packed and left for the day in protest.

Social credit scores are now being fully enforced
How do you "suspend" an owner? Owning something is a passive activity; the team sells tickets and merchandise, and it flows into his bank account.
They'll likely make him sell the team to someone else they'd prefer in their little club.
They did the same with Donald Sterling who owned the LA Clippers for dropping a few n-bombs on tape to one of his whores.
You know how this ends, i know how this ends, how the fuck all those "authorities" cannot see where they are driving the whole thing ?
Because humans can’t exist without conflict
We lived without conflict for over 100.000 years...anyway my point is that before any race or gender war starts those "authorities" will lose their heads.
Not true in a technical sense as Neanderthals still existed and most “homo sapiens” had vast differences in geography
Don’t pay and tell the NBA to go fuck itself. If they cancel games stop paying the players.
who the fuck is the nba that they can fine anyone?
Government loves having control over everyone and everything

Former basketball fan here.
Robert Sarver is a cheapskate POS who did everything he could to save a few bucks, up to and including trading first-round draft picks for CASH.
Winning didn't matter to him. Money did. Winning happened by accident.
Donald Sterling was the same way, even before the allegations.
So fuck him.

“Whut?”
Anarchy-tyranny is the point. When we permitted the segregation of language, we opened the door for censorship.
