āRead through the Sarver stories a few times now. I gotta be honestā¦Our league definitely got this wrong. I donāt need to explain why. Yāall read the stories and decide for yourself.

I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership. But this isnāt right. There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place. Donāt matter if you own the team or play for the team. We hold our league up as an example of our values and this aint it.ā
