Robert Sarver, the suspended Phoenix Suns owner, should resign after NBA investigators' finding that he used racist, misogynistic, and lewd words in the workplace when bullying employees, according to team vice chairman Jahm Najafi in an open letter on Thursday. Sarver's behavior, according to an ESPN article last year that prompted the league to launch an investigation into him, should have "zero tolerance" for the Suns' minorities, according to the Suns minority owner, who was more specific in an ESPN study last year that prompted the league to launch an investigation into his conduct. In his tweeting, Najafi reiterated that he had "no intention" in becoming the team's managing partner. Sarver was banned for one year and fined $10 million by the NBA on Tuesday after a 10-month probe revealed that the Suns owner had used racist words, made crude and sexually suggestive remarks to staff, and had bullying tendencies.

Unless one major conclusion by investigators, Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver was likely to receive even more punishment by the NBA for his racial, misogynistic, and hostile words and conduct, according to Commissioner Adam Silver. Sarver's use of slurs 'was not motivated by racial animus,' according to the law firm who spent almost a year investigating the situation.' Sarver's punishment - a one-year suspension and a $10 million fine - would have been much more severe if that wasn't the case, Silver explained.
