Diversity, Equality & Inclusion in 2022: Treat your employees fairly

What is happening? Robert Sarver, owner of Arizona’s NBA and WNBA teams, has put the teams up for sale this week, after league enforcement actions related to racism and misogyny. Racism and misogyny, even if in the past, isn’t going to be swept under the rug anymore.

Why is this important? Sarver blames the current cultural climate that he can’t be redeemed. While NBA players”, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Draymond Green have spoken out and said the NBA’s punishment wasn’t severe enough.”

How will this be important? “NBPA president CJ McCollum: “We thank Mr. Sarver for making a swift decision that was in the best interest of our sports community.””
