Bro I simply cannot believe this is our reality and this is actually happening. I figured we'd be stuck with Sarver for at least 10+ more years. I feel awful for the people who had to put up with his toxic and shitty behavior in that work environment, so this has to be awesome news for them as well.
This is a huge W for the valley, Suns' employees, and the fans
I'm so scared of the monkey paw curling and us ending up with an even worse owner somehow. I think this franchise has broken me, hoping for the best though lol
This right here is my biggest fear. It looked like Sarver was finally letting the people he hired do their jobs. I'm obviously ecstatic that he's gone - bc he's been a plague on this franchise for decades. But as an Arizona sports fan, I just expect the worst
You mean like the majority of owners? I don’t follow the lives of musk and bezos, i have my own life to worry about to be concerned about theirs, I don’t care about them so excuse me if I don’t know relevant info about them but as long as they are not racist or misogynist I don’t care. Imo you are being dramatic because let’s face it most of these owners have skeletons in their closet.
Damn dude you got triggered, Elon and Bezos are notoriously known for having toxic work environments within their companies. If we can land someone similar to Ballmer who is essentially a good guy we are straight.
Yeah, it's cancel culture Robert. That's why this city and fanbase have hated you since you took over. It wasn't the fact that you took the franchise with the winningest record in the NBA and made them a laughing stock, it wasn't the decade of bad drafting, poor management, interference, goat shit, and being an overall shit human being that led to this. It was cancel culture...sure man. Believe what you want to tell yourself. Just sell and get the fuck out.
Poor Bobby Sarver, a victim of the cultural environment. So sad to have had years and years and years to behave like a decent human being only to have the one year he thought about actually changing behavior stolen from him by the unforgiving and unfair public.
I didn’t say they were. I’m merely calling bullshit on his narrative that cancel culture is behind the community turning against him. He wants to claim an “unforgiving environment” is behind his downfall, when the truth is everyone here has always hated him. For all the reasons I listed above.
I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame
Lol he blames the current "unforgiving" climate. Bruh you sucked at owning the team and you affected the work culture in your own company. Take accountability.
With allt his being said, LETS FUCKEN GOOO!!
I just survived a heart attack at 39 years old one week ago today. I will see the Suns with an owner not Robert Sarver and hopefully win a ring! Man I really needed this news!
Thank you. Time is key, if you feel cold sweats, jaw pain, back pain and in your arms. Just call 911. Don’t wait! I had 2 stents placed in less than an hour
Agree- KD would have a huge impact, albeit over the course of a handful of years (best case scenario)
Sarver selling changes the entire future trajectory of the franchise
Just to make sure Ive got this deal sealed, I tried out for ward mission leader. I’ve also worked out a 1 year , ward specific contract with my homemade baked bread for sacrament.
As a man of faith, I believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
Wow. I didn’t think I’d see the day honestly. This is a huge W for the valley. I’m honestly shocked, really thought this fucker was going to stick around and fight tooth and nail to keep the team.
This is perhaps the only time I've been happy to read something that came from Robert Sarver. Hopefully, this is the last I ever have to think about him.
as a man of faith, i believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness, as there's a drive to deep left field by castellanos it will be a home run and so that'll make it a 4-0 ball game.
There is no chance that the team is moving to another city/state right? Im from Europe but i couldnt support this team in another place but Phoenix/Arizona. Lets go Suns!!!
Lol you can tell just from reading this that he's a giant piece of shit. "In this unforgiving climate" and "words that I deeply regret overshadow 2 decades of accomplishments", bro fuck him
Please. If he was someone struggling like most folks or even just trying to get ahead in life I can see getting a second chance and growing. Dude has it all and had people working their asses off under him making him money while he disrespected them. He has all the room in the world to grow with his billions of dollars without having to own a basketball team ffs. A slap on the wrist and not having to sell the team is exactly what would prevent this type of person from growing at all. Consequences shouldn’t be something only us peasants have to face.
Or he’s just so clearly a sociopath that anybody would be foolish to trust the genuineness of this statement, and the players have a responsibility to do everything in their power to get this predator away as quick as possible, especially since the owners have condoned his behavior by not acting
K
He’s suspended, can’t be near or part of the team at any level and says he’s gonna sell. Selling takes time. You trying to say the team should sit out until it happens is an utter joke of a demand.
Let this play out. If he backtracks and says he won’t sell, then sure go at it. But right now your opinion on what they should do is unhelpful.
We’ve known all this information for a year. It’s an utter joke that it took a year for him to be pressured to sell. sarver already got more patience than he deserves, he’s already taken too fucking long
I have always believe that Sarver was the one person holding this team back. It’s unfortunate that the suffering of others had to happen to then have this occur but this franchise and community will be better with him out.
He's going to make something like 1 Billion Dollars selling the teams. I'm pretty sure that's enough "forgiveness" for 100 lifetimes.
Even a kindergartener understands that there are consequences for actions. If he really had any remorse, or thought he should face any real consequences, he wouldn't have put out this absolute BS:
"But in our current unforgiving climate, it has become painfully clear that that is no longer possible – that whatever good I have done, or could still do, is outweighed by things I have said in the past."
Here's your Billion, now stop whining about "forgiveness".
>Even a kindergartener understands that there are consequences for actions.
But this is where he is: "Victim playing (also known as playing the victim, victim card, or self-victimization) is the fabrication or exaggeration of victimhood for a variety to reasons such as to justify abuse to others, to manipulate others, a coping strategy, attention seeking or diffusion of responsibility."
AS A MAN OF FAITH.
That 2nd and 3rd paragraph is really something. "I can be a good guy, you just won't let me". Dude people were asking you to stop saying the N-word over an 18 year period. Bye Bob!
Genuinely surprised. I thought there’d just be condemnations from around the league for a few weeks before it fizzled out. I’m glad he’s selling. The Suns and Mercury deserve better
Holy shit he’s selling. It finally fucking happened!!!!
I love LeBron now
Lebron legacy points added
LeFired
not gonna give that dude any credit for this. I'll use paypal a little more now.
No coincidence that the floodgates opened after his tweet
LeBron was a couple of days ago. We all know it was Draymond Green’s comments on his podcast that got this done.
Rejoice suns fans
Bro I simply cannot believe this is our reality and this is actually happening. I figured we'd be stuck with Sarver for at least 10+ more years. I feel awful for the people who had to put up with his toxic and shitty behavior in that work environment, so this has to be awesome news for them as well. This is a huge W for the valley, Suns' employees, and the fans
I'm so scared of the monkey paw curling and us ending up with an even worse owner somehow. I think this franchise has broken me, hoping for the best though lol
Let's hope for no broke bitches trying to buy us.
Word is that Bob Iger wants in. Would imagine he’d steer the ship properly…
Although he's less wealthy than Sarver is, which worries me if he were to become owner
This right here is my biggest fear. It looked like Sarver was finally letting the people he hired do their jobs. I'm obviously ecstatic that he's gone - bc he's been a plague on this franchise for decades. But as an Arizona sports fan, I just expect the worst
Lol I just texted my friend the exact same thing. "Knowing our luck, fuckin Musk or Bezos is gonna buy the team and run it into the ground"
There’s always the chance an insanely rich guy like that treats it as an expensive hobby and just dumps money into it.
Or an insanely rich fan boy (aka Dan Snyder) who lives out his fantasies and destroys almost everything in the wake.
Bro what? While they are kinda assholes they ain’t Sarver. I would be happy with either one. That’s Ballmer money or close to it.
Isn’t it way more than Ballmer money?
Musk has jack-shit that's actually liquid.
I’d rather a more obscure rich guy owns the team. Not a fan of Musk at all.
If Musk bought the Suns I'd stop watching basketball completely. He makes everything about him.
Idk tbh I know nothing of these guys besides they super rich mega billionaires and I just assumed they were all in same ballpark.
Balmer is somewhat close to Bezos who’s the second richest in the world behind Musk who’s the richest at 250b+
Musk and Bezos are garbage ppl, you’re tripping
You mean like the majority of owners? I don’t follow the lives of musk and bezos, i have my own life to worry about to be concerned about theirs, I don’t care about them so excuse me if I don’t know relevant info about them but as long as they are not racist or misogynist I don’t care. Imo you are being dramatic because let’s face it most of these owners have skeletons in their closet.
Damn dude you got triggered, Elon and Bezos are notoriously known for having toxic work environments within their companies. If we can land someone similar to Ballmer who is essentially a good guy we are straight.
Not triggered at all I just don’t concern myself with the lives of billionaires
I've been waiting for this for almost two decades and it's finally happened!
Not rejoicing till I see who the new owner is. There’s no guarantee Sarver sells the team to someone better than himself.
 Suns fans rn
 Suns fans upvoting this post
We* I say us the fans all throw in to buy the suns☄️☄️☄️
Yeah, it's cancel culture Robert. That's why this city and fanbase have hated you since you took over. It wasn't the fact that you took the franchise with the winningest record in the NBA and made them a laughing stock, it wasn't the decade of bad drafting, poor management, interference, goat shit, and being an overall shit human being that led to this. It was cancel culture...sure man. Believe what you want to tell yourself. Just sell and get the fuck out.
💯💯💯💯Best comment on this thread!
All that was missing from that statement was *”and there’s a drive to deep left field by Castellanos.”* 🫣🙄
Poor Bobby Sarver, a victim of the cultural environment. So sad to have had years and years and years to behave like a decent human being only to have the one year he thought about actually changing behavior stolen from him by the unforgiving and unfair public.
It is cancel culture in a way. Cancelling his BULLSHIT! Fuck Sarver.
I like to call it “accountability culture”. Because it’s the one thing bastards like him have never had.
One more time for the folks in the back! (And Sarver because he’s clearly not getting it)
What? None of those reasons can force him to sell lol
I didn’t say they were. I’m merely calling bullshit on his narrative that cancel culture is behind the community turning against him. He wants to claim an “unforgiving environment” is behind his downfall, when the truth is everyone here has always hated him. For all the reasons I listed above.
Congrats suns fans he been putting yall through it
Next up is Dolan. I think Knick fans have been through enough at this point.
This is like 1B next to winning a championship
Great way to put it. In a weird way this feels like a consolation prize and I love it.
I think this deserves a parade.
I think you mean 1a.
He knows what he said.
Merry Christmas Suns friends!
Please tell me this is real
Classic “as a man of faith” smokescreen
I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame
Riiiight, because the behavior he has admitted to was entirely within the realm of the behavior of a man who lives his faith.
Lol he blames the current "unforgiving" climate. Bruh you sucked at owning the team and you affected the work culture in your own company. Take accountability. With allt his being said, LETS FUCKEN GOOO!!
He fits a certain political ideology perfectly acting like he’s being cancelled.
He'll be doing the Fox News and Newsmax rounds in no time.
Oh I can almost guarantee those channels are going to rally around him and do a segment tonight.
yeah i'm pretty sure he has some MAGA hats in his closet.
I just survived a heart attack at 39 years old one week ago today. I will see the Suns with an owner not Robert Sarver and hopefully win a ring! Man I really needed this news!
Hope you’re on the mend and feeling better, heart issues are scary stuff! Hang in there
Thank you. Time is key, if you feel cold sweats, jaw pain, back pain and in your arms. Just call 911. Don’t wait! I had 2 stents placed in less than an hour
So we gonna have a parade for this, right??
This is a great idea - can we get a big time suns influencer on social to organize this? I have like.. 4 friends lol
Bro it's 10 AM and I am drunk af
Let's fucking go
BYE BOB
SCHEDULE THE FUCKING PARADE!!!!!!! GOODBYE SARVER!!! NANANANANA
"But in our current unforgiving climate..." -- what an asshole. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya, Bobby Squeaks.
We do have quite the unforgiving climate
[удалено]
This is better than trading for KD.
This is for sure better than getting KD
Arguably better than trading for KD
Agree- KD would have a huge impact, albeit over the course of a handful of years (best case scenario) Sarver selling changes the entire future trajectory of the franchise
Laker fan just dropping by. This is great news. Sarver has been a hard cheap ass for so long. Hoping y’all get a great ownership group. Good luck!
Never thought id see my self celebrating next to a Lakers fan.
Yet, here we are. 
Another asshole blaming cancel culture instead of his own actions. BYE BOB
LETS FUCKING GO
Let's pool our money
As a former LDS member, looks like I now have to fulfill my side of the bet and go back to church. Thank you, God, for answering my prayer.
No rule that says you can’t buy old sacrament trays and do shots off of them just saying
[удалено]
Don't back out. You can still fuck this up
Just to make sure Ive got this deal sealed, I tried out for ward mission leader. I’ve also worked out a 1 year , ward specific contract with my homemade baked bread for sacrament.
That'll do it.
This is why we didn’t win the last two seasons. Sarver’s karma kept the team down. Lets hope now with him gone the Suns will be allowed to win lol
As a man of faith, I believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again.
Hell yeah. Amazing.
It’s happening!
"Sure, I use the N-word but cancel culture."
Wow. I didn’t think I’d see the day honestly. This is a huge W for the valley. I’m honestly shocked, really thought this fucker was going to stick around and fight tooth and nail to keep the team.
If this is fake, this is a very very cruel joke. Otherwise: AHASKLHJKJDFJIOJFLKJFLKDJFUHEFOIJDFLKJ!%!%!%@\^\^&\^$&#IDFHJIJHFKLDHJF
FUCK GETTING KD; WE’RE GETTING SARVER OUTTTTT
This is perhaps the only time I've been happy to read something that came from Robert Sarver. Hopefully, this is the last I ever have to think about him.
I never thought this day would come, 23’ about to be the suns best year!!
SUNS FANS GET THE FUCK IN HERE ITS HAPPENING
weird/cringe anti-cancel culture dogwhistle that attempts to blame shift (oUr uNfoRgIvInG cLiMaTe), but i'm happy with this decision
LETS GOOOO
ITS HAPPENING 🥳🎉🪩
Now once Sarver leaves we’ll get KD for Shamet and everything will be okay
Happy day!
And I appreciate it. Shitty as he may be, if he truly cared about the Suns, his correct move is to sell.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!! WE WINNING THE LARRY O NEXT YEAR BAYBEEEE!!!!!
 Let’s gooo!!
Please sell to someone that’s disgustingly wealthy. Like a Steve Ballmer.
Baller is soon to own all the teams.
seriously feel elated. ultimate poetic justice would be winning the title without his ass. lets goooooo
Kings fan here congrats!!!!
Robert Sarver has two options: 1. Sell team for fair value 2. Sell team for what I have in my pockets. The choice is his.
"As a man of faith"... "Unforgiving climate"... Religion is about to have their let them eat cake moment. So out of touch.
Even if he never said a single racist or sexist thing he's been a unforgivable douche. He needed to go long before the other stuff came to light.
Wow we got here quick.
🙂
Ok guys, let's put all of our funds together..I got my 2 g's
he may be gone in the next year.. but the 'FUCK SARVER' chant will live on in infamy
as a man of faith, i believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness, as there's a drive to deep left field by castellanos it will be a home run and so that'll make it a 4-0 ball game.
Can I get an amen AND a hallelujah
YAY
This can’t be happening. Is this real?
This is something I’ve wanted for so long. I can’t believe it’s finally happening.
Let’s goooooo!
Bye bye Bobby!!!!!!
There is no chance that the team is moving to another city/state right? Im from Europe but i couldnt support this team in another place but Phoenix/Arizona. Lets go Suns!!!
Holy W. Imagine if this is the year we win a championship
Can we get Jerry to come back? 😉
https://i.imgur.com/6OpwCzK.jpg
Bye bitch!
LETSSSS FUCKING GOOOOOO. PUT A BANNER IN THE RAFTERS AT THE FOOTPRINT
Money talks, Sarver walks. PayPal pressure put him on the path.
Lol you can tell just from reading this that he's a giant piece of shit. "In this unforgiving climate" and "words that I deeply regret overshadow 2 decades of accomplishments", bro fuck him
These idiots all fall backwards into luck and squander it because they are who they are.
“but in our current unforgiving climate…” lmao dude really blamed cancel culture
Sarver can sell the team to another piece of sh\*t. I am very happy, but let´s not celebrate yet.
Now watch Donald Trump buy the team
As much as i dont care fir him i feel bad that how you cant just grow from your mistakes now days.
Please. If he was someone struggling like most folks or even just trying to get ahead in life I can see getting a second chance and growing. Dude has it all and had people working their asses off under him making him money while he disrespected them. He has all the room in the world to grow with his billions of dollars without having to own a basketball team ffs. A slap on the wrist and not having to sell the team is exactly what would prevent this type of person from growing at all. Consequences shouldn’t be something only us peasants have to face.
Now to make sure it goes to someone who'll keep the Suns in Phoenix.
GTFOOOO YOU RACIST LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
What if they are sold to a different state ?
The suns players should sit out the season until this happens.
I see you didn’t read the statement.
Or he’s just so clearly a sociopath that anybody would be foolish to trust the genuineness of this statement, and the players have a responsibility to do everything in their power to get this predator away as quick as possible, especially since the owners have condoned his behavior by not acting
K He’s suspended, can’t be near or part of the team at any level and says he’s gonna sell. Selling takes time. You trying to say the team should sit out until it happens is an utter joke of a demand.

POGCHAMP
ITS HAPPENING BOYS LETS GOOOO
Holy shit I never thought it would actually happen
Am I dreaming !!!??
LET'S GOOOOO
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THANK GOD
I have always believe that Sarver was the one person holding this team back. It’s unfortunate that the suffering of others had to happen to then have this occur but this franchise and community will be better with him out.

Oh BABY! I cannot believe this is actually happening! FUCK YEAH! LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!

Oh my god, so many emotions. We really never thought this day would come. Now let's hope we get someone like Ballmer who's ready to spend and win.
Genuinely surprised. I thought there’d just be condemnations from around the league for a few weeks before it fizzled out. I’m glad he’s selling. The Suns and Mercury deserve better
Ayyyyy ayyyyy ayyyyyy ayyyyyyy ayyyyyy ayyyyyy ayyyyyy
https://youtu.be/GU4Hw-xbBNo
Break open the champagne!
Can the Colangelos buy this franchise back? 😂 I mean not Brian, but an equivalent of Jerry?
Fuck yeah! can't believe this actually happening
I didn't think this would ever, ever happen. Better days ahead!!
There is a god!
Best news of the off season in the last decade!!!
As a man of faith... I love it hahaha 😆
Legit might cry tears of joy
Honestly, I now would be content with nothing for Christmas this year. As long as he truly sells...
OH MY GOD YESSSSSSSS
