My general rule is to ignore all the pun posts, but what/who does Oveur refer to?

Idiots
I find this thread delightful. The only sort of person who would show a bitterly negative reaction to it would be someone whose black heart has lost all sense of joy in this world, a foul creature who cannot see the elegance and beauty of these delightful puns. In short, a monster.

I’d rather have a thread full of Ayton talk than have a thread full of puns

Uh oh.
Ex-Suns employee seeks $60M in damages in discrimination complaint

Baxter Holmes, ESPN Senior Writer
Sep 10, 2024, 02:55 PM ET

The Phoenix Suns are embroiled in a dispute with a former employee who is claiming discrimination and wrongful termination and is seeking $60 million in damages, according to a 25-page statement from August 2024 that was obtained by ESPN.

That ex-employee, Andrea Trischan, who was the Suns' program manager of diversity, equity and inclusion, filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Arizona attorney general's office's civil rights division, which is investigating the matter.

"Ms. Trischan filed a formal complaint ... due to ongoing racial discrimination, harassment, and retaliation she experienced while employed with the Phoenix Suns," Trischan's attorney, Sheree Wright, wrote in an email to ESPN. "Specifically, Ms. Trischan endured overt racist comments and a hostile work environment that went unaddressed despite being reported to HR and executive leadership."

Trischan was hired by the Suns on Sept. 19, 2022, six days after the NBA announced that then-owner Robert Sarver was suspended one year and fined $10 million following an NBA investigation into his conduct and the team's workplace culture during Sarver's 18-year tenure as the team's majority owner.

So, who was the owner then? Who is responsible? I find this pretty odd, when the guy who was the owner was in trouble for similar things. You would think the whole organization would be hyper sensitive to this kind of treatment.

She’s blaming the executives that stayed in power during the transition phase…honestly feels like a money grab, but obviously I don’t know

The last connection to the Sarver Era will be Devin Booker. I can wait a while until that connection is broken.

(Actually the last connections will probably be some media guys, but aside from that, Book.)

Really? Y'all don't watch his podcast with Eddie Johnson?

Anyway, I survived Hurricane Francine unscathed. The eye basically passed right over us so we got a ton of rain, water came up to my doorstep but none inside the house. We're at a high point tho so lots of streets did flood. Just a ridiculous amount of steady rain. Streets are already clear this morning.
Go Suns!
