Why Is Robert Sarver Selling Phoenix Suns And Mercury?
Robert Sarver, the infamous owner of the Phoenix Suns acquired the Suns and Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA in 2004. He recently said in a public statement that he is searching for new investors for the Suns and Mercury. The action was taken after an examination of his actions and the work environments of the teams. As a result, it led to a one-year suspension and a $10 million punishment for Sarver.

An unbiased inquiry revealed that Sarver was involved in some unethical scenarios. Robert behaved unfairly against female colleagues, making inappropriate and sex-related comments about their attractiveness. Additionally, as per the allegation, he spoke offensively about other women\’s and female coworkers\’ appearances. He also acted in a physically inappropriate manner against the male workers.
Sarver gave the investigators his fullest cooperation. Following the inquiry, he declared that as a follower of Christ, he had trust in the atonement and the way to forgiveness. But it has sadly become obvious that such is no longer achievable in the present merciless environment. Robert Sarver has thus made the decision to leave and sell the teams.
