Second night of a back to back where suns are super shorthanded missing 5 or 6 players. Its not rly surprising to see them run out of gas in 4th quarter.
Being racist has nothing to do with politics and what made sports so great was the fact that everyone, regardless of their political beliefs or weather you were rich or poor you could come together and cheer for a sports team that would be a representation of your city or state. The best part was if you saw your team win the championship, you saw those completely different social classes become one in the cheering of that team. When you lean one way versus the other and make it only based off one political party and eventually those fans on the other side will get tired of an entertainment industry thinking they know what way is best to side with and let's face it it's about 50/50 when it comes to both political parties. When you divide the fans, you have fewer fans, and the return of that is making less money. That's why the league took a major dip during the time you talked about; and now that they have taken a step back in the push and pushed the fun of game the money and fans came back. That was a horrible take on that and had little to do with the choice. They wanted someone rich that could bring money to downtown phx and would be willing to spend the money needed to complete because phx is the 7th largest city in the country and with how nice Scottsdale is this place should be a prime spot to bring superstar players. Starver was a cheap ass and a horrible owner and is now known for being sexist and racist and made great players who looked to come here turn and run because he was so bad. If they have another prime place for superstars to go with a great money source and great weather and low taxes, it only makes the league more money because of the potential opportunity that Phoenix brings. That is why starver bought the team years ago but it was the wrong reason for a guy that was only the 30th richest nba owner in a great market with very faithful fans who have been waiting and praying for years that starver would be pushed out or sold because he was cheap and bought the team to make money and never keyed in on the fact that if you spend money in the league; especially when you have a 2 of the top 5 fastest and largest growing cities that you will make a lot more money on the back end if spend money and drive big time players to your team. Starver has to be thanking God he somehow got Booker, and he bought in to what James Jones was able to do building around Booker so that starver could sell the team for as much as he did. If we didn't have a young superstar in Booker who is signed for years to come, they would have been lucky to sell for half the value. Politics and sports don't and never will belong together if the league wants to make the money they are making. It's all about entertainment and bringing everyone together with one goal, and that's to win a championship for the city or state that the team represents. Players are able to pushed their political beliefs because it is America and we have free speech but I'm going to hold my tongue if it means I make 50 million a year and not 15 million because my political beliefs pushed money out of the league. I have plenty of time to push political or social beliefs on people after I retire, and it doesn't affect my paycheck as much. I don't know about anyone else but 500 million dollars that i made in my playing days that I can now use to help my community sounds alot better then 150 to 200 million or maybe way less because half of the people stopped watching. It's all about the money in the end, and that's why this purchase has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with now the 8th richest owner in the league taking over what should be a big market in the NBA with the right guy leading the franchise. #GoSuns #ThankGodStarverIsGone #BrightFuture4Suns Finally A Owner That can and will Spend Money To Build What the best fans in the league deserve to see every night. No more 10 year gaps between playoff teams that don't have a shot to truly win because the owners would spend the money to bring good players here. 😉
I think their just tired
