Phoenix Suns and Mercury owner Robert Sarver's admissions of guilt to ESPN in November 2021 justified a lifetime ban from the NBA on their own merit. That he received a one-year suspension following Tuesday's confirmation of numerous additional allegations of racism, misogyny and other oppressive behavior is beyond a travesty.

announcing Sarver's one-year suspension and $10 million fine on Tuesday was there mention of such a vote, despite droves of corroborative evidence detailing the Suns owner's adverse effect on the league and its members.

Five times, after being asked not to repeat the word? That's deliberate racism, and we should not be afraid to call it what it is.

Eight witnesses attested to"crude" statements about Suns dancers that"cross[ed] the line." He allegedly commented on an employee's breast augmentation. More than 10 witnesses attested to similar incidents.Dozens of interviewees recalled instances in which he made sexually explicit comments during meetings."On at least 20 other occasions in workplace settings throughout his tenure, Sarver made crude references to sex or sexual anatomy, or joking sexual analogies.
