It's very hard to ascertain consent when it's a boss-subordinate relationship. More often than not it's absent.

Lol who knows if it's a control thing. First thing that came to my head was she was probably milking money off him.

But I wouldn't doubt this turns into her being the victim, usually does.

I agree... kinda liked girls in the "fresh" look.

Thats why on dates before i always have a run/hike/sporting event and not just just dinner/movies at night where makeup hides a lot.

Man, Ishbia really taught a masterclass on how to ruin a franchise.

Although this seems like a bigger story in the W than the NBA. They could use the press.

Swift doesn't look bad there to me at all. Still looks like the same person at least. The only thing that makes her look a little different there is the lack of full eyebrows.

Guessing that CEO sleeps with player. Team gets alerted and it’s deemed it a reputational risk. Then player is traded, which could be construed as an adverse employment action (always weird with trades, especially to Indiana). But regardless trading someone bc of that will usually be a scandal.



You guys didn't read til the 2nd paragraph or you'd know this sent shockwaves across the NBA and WNBA

If it is the subordinate complaining sure. But if it's an unrelated third party like it seems to be here it's just a lot of unnecessary self-righteous sanctimonious drama.

Let's ask ourselves the question: are we really surprised here? The first red flag was when Ishbia brought on Isiah Thomas in a consulting role for the Suns and we all know how much of a HR nightmare he is. His philosophy: it ain't cheating if you don't get caught. He's the type of dude that'll stab you in the back and if you survive and ask why, he'll point the finger at you stating that it was your fault and that you had it coming.

Then you got a torrent avalanche of BS that has ensued not only on the court with the awful product, but now you got the off-court BS. Were both parties consenting? Who knows, but knowing that WNBA players have to play ball all year long due to the average WNBA salary being at $147,745 and in Sophie's case, she's only made less than 675k before taxes alone from the WNBA(including this year), don't be surprised if Mat's groper Cleveland looking friend threatened to make life difficult for her in terms of future employment.

Honestly if these allegations are to be believed, it's honestly disgusting and it doesn't help that the Suns/Mercury are in the news for all the wrong reasons. I reference this video as a good point that describes Sarver, but also Ishbia now:
