https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32440987/phoenix-suns-robert-sarver-allegations-racism-misogyny In Watson's first year leading the bench in Phoenix, Sarver asked about the state of the organization and where Watson thought it could improve. Watson told Sarver that it suffered from a lack of diversity. 当Watson 第一年执教太阳时，沙佛问Watson 对於团队的概况与有什麽可以改善的。Watson告诉他，现在的太阳缺乏多样性（指男女比例 、种族比例）/多元化 "I don't like diversity," Sarver replied, according to Watson and a basketball operations staffer with knowledge of the interaction. Watson跟另一位成员都说，沙佛回答他不喜欢多元化。 Sarver said to Watson that having a diverse staff made it hard for people to agree. A lack of diversity among the organization's highest ranks was an issue that a number of employees voiced to their superiors, including to Sarver, multiple employees said. "Everybody knows that our diversity here is s---," one current business employee said. 沙佛对Watson说，太多元化的成员容易让决策很难一致。 几位太阳成员用S_____ 来形容太阳的多元化程度 Through legal representation, the Suns said the organization "has a long history of prioritizing racial diversity since Mr. Sarver purchased an ownership interest in the team." The Suns also said that in 2020 they emphasized increasing diversity among the team's business leadership. The Suns said they have filled executive-level and VP-level positions across the organization with people from under-represented backgrounds, adding that the "Suns and Mercury employ Black people at more than three times the rate of their demographic representation in Maricopa County." They also pointed out that "six of their last 10 head coaches were Black, including the current head coach Monty Williams, and GM James Jones. These men were hired because they were the best applicants to fill their respective positions. 沙佛这边透过法律顾问反击，自从他买下球队之後就一直很在意球队的多元化。太阳额外表示他们在2020针对球队的多元化做出了结构调整。并表示太阳雇用的非裔人口是当地人口比例的三倍之多。而过去的10位教头有6位是非裔，包含现任教头Monty , 更别说他们的GM JJ也是一位非裔。这些人之所以被聘用，是因为他们是各自职位的最佳人选。 （这边有点隐射，除了选帅没有白人优先之外，顺便婊一下Watson被开除是因为烂而不是因为非裔） Watson said one of his final interactions with Sarver was explaining how Watson believed the owner's outbursts negatively affected every aspect of the franchise, from the players' performance on the court to the coaches' ability to do their jobs on the bench to the front office's ability to make sound basketball decisions to the way the Suns were officiated. Watson最後一次跟沙佛沟通，是告诉他老板乱爆炸对整个球队会有负面影响，不管是球员或是制服组，甚至是在场边对教练或裁判有所质疑 During Sarver's tenure, the Suns have cycled through nine head coaches -- including seven in an eight-year span -- and eight general managers. 沙佛在这几年总共换了9个教练与8个GM "I said, 'The only common denominator is you,'" Watson recalled. "'This cemetery runs deep of coaches, GMs, players. You're the only common thread. It's you.'" Watson said he told Sarver that he was toxic and that the Suns were toxic because of him. Sarver screamed back. "You're f---ing toxic!" Through his legal representation, Sarver said: "One of the reasons we parted ways with Mr. Watson was because of the toxic work environment under his leadership during his tenure as head coach. There was an incredible amount of conflict on the team between Mr. Watson and the front office. "I don't specifically remember using the quote referenced ... but during the conversation I did use colorful language, and did refer to Mr. Watson as toxic." Said general manager Jones, through Sarver's attorneys: "On multiple occasions, I observed Earl engage in behavior and use language that was extremely unprofessional and offensive. That does not align with who we are." Watson说，离开的球员、教练与职员他们经历过的唯一共同点就是老板沙佛 Watson说沙佛有毒，他在残害太阳队 沙佛尖叫着回嘴，「他X的有毒的是你」 沙佛藉由法律顾问表示，他们开除Watson的原因就是他担任教练期间带来的恶劣环境。 「我不记得那些引用的引用…，但我的确使用了色彩丰富的语言（脏话）并告诉Watson他有毒」 总经理JJ也透过法务，「我多次观察到Watson的言行极其不专业且冒犯，这与我们的身份别不相符」 （这边也婊了一下Watson, 他的低俗不能代表非裔） --
