Of course, the victims of his actions all gave their testimonies, and the owner was soon found guilty of his actions. After 70 victims confessed, the landlord admitted to the allegations but refused to accept the $10 million fine. Since 2004 the owner will also be suspended for one season for his behavior.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said:“The statements and behavior described in the findings of the independent investigation are alarming and disappointing. Considering all the facts, circumstances, and context that this 18-year-long investigation has brought to light, and our commitment to upholding appropriate standards in NBA workplaces, we believe the conclusion is correct.”
“I hope the NBA community will use this opportunity to reflect on what this great game means to people everywhere and the values of equality, respect, and inclusion it seeks to represent. Whatever our position, power, or intent, racially insensitive and demeaning language and behavior are abusive and “We must all acknowledge its hurtful impact. On behalf of the entire NBA, I apologize to anyone affected by the abuse outlined in the investigators’ report. We must do better.”
