Suns Minority Owner Calls for Robert Sarver’s Resignation

Suns vice chairman and minority owner Jahm Najafi has penned an open letter to the organization demanding Suns and Mercury owner Robert Sarver step down following his one-year suspension for workplace misconduct.

In a letter obtained by AZCentral’s Duane Rankin, Najafi, who owns the second-largest stake in the team, addressed the findings of the league’s investigation into Sarver’s behavior before calling for his resignation from the club. The NBA announced Tuesday Sarver has been suspended for one year and fined $10 million after it was revealed that he consistently acted inappropriately toward employees and made racist and sexually abusive remarks towards employees among other lewd acts over the past 18 years.
