PayPal Threatens to Leave Partnership With Suns, Sarver

The Phoenix Suns have seemingly been named in nothing but statements and releases since Robert Sarver's punishment first was dropped two days ago.

We've heard opinions from the likes of Adam Silver, Chris Paul, LeBron James and even a vice chairman who wants Sarver permanently gone.

You can also count PayPal in that same court.

In 2018, PayPal inked a deal with the Suns to become the organization's first jersey sponsor since the league first allowed advertisements to be displayed.

Now, that relationship could potentially be reaching the end of its road.

The following is a statement from PayPal:

"PayPal is a values-driven company and has a strong record of combatting racism, sexism and all forms of discrimination. We have reviewed the report of the NBA league's independent investigation into Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver and have found his conduct unacceptable and in conflict with our values. PayPal’s sponsorship with the Suns is set to expire at the end of the current season. In light of the findings of the NBA's investigation, we will not renew our sponsorship should Robert Sarver remain involved with the Suns organization, after serving his suspension.

While we strongly reject the conduct of Robert Sarver, we remain supportive of the team, its players and the experienced and diverse talent now leading the organization, including Head Coach, Monty Williams, General Manager, James Jones, Assistant General Manager, Morgan Cato, and Senior Vice President of People and Culture, Kim Corbitt."
