Former President Barack Obama is reportedly part of a group interested in buying NBA team the Phoenix Suns.
Disgraced Phoenix Suns and Mercury owner Robert Sarver announced his decision to sell the teams in September after several sponsors, including Verizon Wireless and PayPal, were intending to cut sponsorship deals with both franchises.
Sarver was handed a one-year ban and $10million fine by the NBA following a league investigation into allegations that he engaged in racism, sexism, and bullying. …
With Sarver now looking to find a buyer after being pressured into selling, the 44th President of the United States is reportedly in a group that is interested in making the purchase.
‘The days of somebody being able to put in a little amount of money and run the team, those days are over… The one guy who might pull it off and I heard, I’m probably breaking some news here, but I heard Obama is involved in one of the groups,’ Bill Simmons said on his The Ringer podcast, via NBC Sports.
