There was no one else. Paul went to the Hornets. The boss of the Hornets sold the team. When he went to the Clippers, the Clippers were forced to sell the team. Paul went to the Rockets. The Rockets sold the team. Paul went to the Suns, boss Sun was forced to sell the team…… Boss Thunder is probably shivering at the moment.
Although this is a joke, the boss selling the team has nothing to do with Paul half a penny. Moreover, when the Rockets changed their boss, he just went there and the season hasn’t started yet. However, since the accident of the Clippers boss in 2014, there have been 6 teams, including the Suns, changing bosses, and Paul has something to do with 3 of them.
What is important is that the Clippers and Sun owners are the only two who are forced to sell the team because they have made the same mistake-racial discrimination.
It’s not Paul’s fault at all. It only shows one phenomenon: in today’s NBA, speaking is getting more and more attention, especially the red line of racial discrimination, which cannot be stepped on anyway.
In the early morning of Beijing time this morning, the boss of the Suns announced on saphus that he had sold the team he owned for 17 years.
“Out of my personal belief, I believe in making amends and understanding. I used to think that the president’s one-year ban on me would allow me time to correct my mistakes and resolve the disputes brought to the team, so many fans and I love this team deeply.
“However, in the current atmosphere of killing everything, it is painful to feel that this is no longer possible. No matter how well I performed in the past and how well I can continue to perform in the future, I will be covered up by what I said in the past. For these reasons, I am going to start the selling process and sell the Suns and mercury.”
I translated the “atmosphere of killing all” mentioned in saphus. The original English text is unforgiving climate, which means never forgive. In fact, over the past year, saphus was indeed in the state of being chased. Different from the Clippers, saphus is not because of a specific sentence or thing that annoys someone, but a description that judges him as “racial discrimination, people who despise women.
The Clippers boss Stirling talked about Magic Johnson privately and was secretly recorded. Saphus did not have such a handle. All his counts came from the descriptions of the employees in the past, but he did not admit it. Therefore, the event of saphus is very interesting. It conforms to the strong anti-racial discrimination atmosphere in NBA and is closely related to the current situation in America.
Anti-racial discrimination and anti-gender discrimination have been promoted to the most important political correctness in the United States.
Saphus probably didn’t expect that ESPN would set off a vigorous criticism campaign against him.
The cause of this incident was very sudden. It was an article published by ESPN in November 4 last year, “it is said that there is racial discrimination and discrimination against women in the Suns: Robert-saphus’s 17 years of sun boss career”, author: Baxter-Holmes. The article lists a large number of words and deeds of racial discrimination and discrimination against women by using a large number of pen and ink, in-depth and extensive interviews and surveys saphus. The article is very long. After reading it carefully, you will find that it is not a big deal. Many ambiguous articles are basically denied or explained by saphus.
Interestingly, NBA launched a survey on saphus almost at the same time, which lasted for nearly nine months and didn’t end until July this year. On September 13, NBA announced a one-year ban on saphus, fined 10 million. A week later, saphus decided to sell the Suns.
An article seems to be a disaster, but if you have been paying attention to the Suns, you should remember that as early as the summer of 2020, former Suns Coach Watson publicly exposed saphus racial discrimination and accused him of being rude, interfere with the coach’s work, be domineering to subordinates, and the working environment of employees is harsh. In fact, Watson was the head coach of the Suns from 2015 to 2018. After two defeats with a score of 90 points in the new season, he was fired by saphus. Watson said that working as a coach under saphus was a “traumatic experience”.
The accusation against saphus focused on three aspects: first, he used N-headed racial discrimination words when speaking; Second, he played inappropriate jokes with his subordinates regardless of the occasion, sometimes it is too yellow; Third, it is arrogant to female employees. Some people are scared to commit suicide, and some go to a psychologist.
The only specific case of racial discrimination mentioned by ESPN is as follows:
One year, bleied suffered a serious injury. The boss saphus told his agent Ricky Paul that the child bloody cloth was not patient. Ricky Paul did not agree. He said, I also understand the ball, I know what we are talking about is not tennis. Saphus was a sports fan since he was a child, and he also liked playing tennis. He was furious and thought that Ricky Paul was insinuating that he did not understand basketball. He went back and told Watson that I would give you 10 days to break up with him. I don’t like the same agent for players and coaches. Watson was very angry and said that the person who signed me was Klutch Sports. Ricky was only the boss of that company and he was not my agent. Saphus insisted that this was one thing. The quarrel ended with mutual abuse.
Saphus denied all the charges that he cursed others with N, so what were those charges? For example, there was a game between the sun and the Warriors, and the dream was chasing a “Nxxxxx” on the court. Saphus, he told the assistant coach that if he heard it, he scolded “Nxxxxx”. Assistant coach reminds him, boss, you can’t say this word. Saphus was very angry, I didn’t say this word, I AM said dream-chasing this word. Black players can say this word themselves, but as white people, saphus can’t say it or mention it.
As for repulsive addiction joke, saphus admit it. For example, once Griffin’s brother was in the team and was wait lifting with the gym. Seeing that his thigh was very smooth at saphus, he came forward and asked, did you shave your leg hair? Griffin said shyly, yes. Saphus said, did you shave the bottom? This is embarrassing. Saphus said in the investigation this time that I was wrong and shouldn’t joke like that, but he also smiled at that time and didn’t think he was insulted. The investigators went to ask Griffin’s brother. He said, at that time, he thought it was a joke, so I laughed with him, but now think about his identity, making such a low-level joke is a bit of that, which makes me very embarrassed.
Another employee revealed that once the team organized an ice bucket challenge, the boss even tore off his pants in front of more than 60 colleagues while he was not paying attention, and laughed. Up to now, the more he thinks about it, the more angry he is, and he will remember it every once in a while, and he will be very angry every time he thinks about it.
Some senior executives revealed that the boss saphus was shameless. In one meeting, he even took out a photo of his wife wearing a bikini in front of all senior executives for everyone to pass on, he also said that his wife gave him that. Saphus defended the investigators: how could I say something about my wife? But the bikini photo was true, but it was too wrong for me. There was a sportswear retailer who wanted to cooperate with the Suns to produce a bikini with the Suns trademark. They gave me a suit to try on. My wife wore the photos taken. I showed them the photos, it is to let them see the effect and tell them to call this boss if they want to cooperate.
It sounds like a trivial matter, but it is a big event in summary, and the wind and waves are overwhelming with no hiding place at all. Saphus was shot to death on the beach like this.
According to those disclosure and complaints, the image of saphus is vivid: he is a grumpy, domineering and exclusive boss, and he is a boss who is not very interesting and likes to spoof regardless of occasions, he is also a boss who likes to treat subordinates and female employees in a commanding manner. No one knows whether he is a racist in his bones, but he must be a racist now, because it has been defined.
He was born in the second generation of Jewish rich in saphus. He worked part-time in his father’s company at the age of 16. His father died soon after graduating from college. On the basis of his father’s accumulation, saphus became a successful banker, real estate businessman. He likes sports. When he was 8 years old, he watched the ball on the court. He wanted to buy the team with a lot of money. With the help of coach Cole of the current Warriors, he bought the Suns and WNBA Mercury. Last year, the Suns reached the finals, which was the highest time since taking over saphus.
Who did saphus offend? Maybe it’s Ricky Paul, maybe it’s Elton or his agent. Senior executives of NBA teams described saphus as stingy Jews who didn’t want to give Alton a top salary. They asked him to go outside and try to sign it back, saving 43 million dollars.
From Sterling out to saphus out, NBA bosses began to tremble. They are all afraid that one day the disaster will fall from the sky. Who knows what they have said before? But I am afraid that I don’t want to leave any more, because playing NBA is too profitable. I spent 0.4 billion yuan on the Suns saphus that year, and now the average price of NBA teams is 1.7 billion.
The evil comes from the mouth. Be careful.
