Phoenix Suns and Mercury owner Robert Sarver allegedly used racist and misogynistic language in front of Suns employees and fostered a "toxic and sometimes hostile workplace" during his 17-year tenure, according to a report from ESPN's Baxter Holmes.
More than 70 current and former Suns employees spoke to ESPN about Sarver and their experience working for him, accusing him of various offenses, including using racially insensitive language, discussing sexually explicit activities in the office, going on verbal tirades aimed at coaches and meddling in on-court affairs to the detriment of the team.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the NBA is expected to open an investigation into Sarver and the numerous allegations that have been made against him.
