This site has been around for 20+ years, it was was sold around 6 or 7 years ago, to people who quite clearly are far bigger Cards fans than Suns fans, and this has always been a Cardinal centric board. I like the way they run things, the community and moderation hasn't changed much since they took over.

The Suns community here is strong but not particularly large, during the Suns dark ages (and ESPN killing their forums) a few Suns communities died out, I don't think it would take much effort for someone associated with the team to track the popular Suns sites that remain and cherry pick random talking points that put the franchise in a positive light.

I think you are overthinking things...
I think he was talking about that weird site, not ASFN.

The OP did not age well, you know who should be in "real trouble" are the ones making the false accusations

I dont know what the outcome of this investigation will be, but I can tell you that Sarver being an a-hole towards others in this manner is common knowledge in both Suns and UofA circles.

I am not a conspiracy guy at all. However, I can just see the basketball Gods who have shunned the Suns many times dropping a nuke on the good vibes during the Suns playoff run.

Its pretty common now a days for people looking to be offended. I dont like $arver, but these types of accusations are far more likely made up BS or staged. The way people have run away or gone silent on this whole thing screams fake accusations and nothing but a smear job. Again, i dont like Sarver for many reasons to do with & w/o the Suns but using the race card is a classic BS move for people who have an axe to grind and no argument.

I love people that so readily dismiss racist allegations as “playing the race card.” No I don’t.

Out of all of those only Lasso/Mankind/Mythic Guest are truly great shows, IMO.

See us one show that I really liked. Underrated if you get far enough into it.

I’d love to. You got any news?

No news but I'm far less optimistic that he'll be removed than at any point prior. The longer this drags out with no news the more I believe he'll get a slap on the wrist.

They could be building a solid case for a swift removal, of course, but I believe we'd have heard something more by now if that was the case.

I just have a hard time believing that this thing is being exaggerated extensively, it's not because I don't think Sarver could do this stuff, but rather for the lack of prominent people going on record against him.

They need to take their time and get it right. That is all I really care about. Whatever happens in the end happens.

In the mean time, it seems to have forced Sarver to stay out of the public eye, which is a good thing.
