Obama: Buying an NBA Team?This could be the greatest thing ever.November 2, 2022 by Robert Spencer Robert Sarver, owner of the National Basketball Association’s Phoenix Suns, has announced that he is selling the team; this comes, says the Daily Mail Saturday, after “a league investigation into allegations that he engaged in racism, sexism, and bullying.” Now, a group has expressed interest in plunking down the $3 billion it will take to buy the team, and this is no ordinary group: it reportedly includes none other than Barack Obama, and really, what could be more fitting and better for the league’s image than to have the sainted first black president take over the team after a disgraced notorious racist had to give it up?
It really could happen, although Obama would not pay the lion’s share of this massive outlay; he would just be the public face of the franchise. Bill Simmons said on his The Ringerpodcast via NBC Sports, that “the days of somebody being able to put in a little amount of money and run the team, those days are over… The one guy who might pull it off and I heard, I’m probably breaking some news here, but I heard Obama is involved in one of the groups. And that’s the one guy who I feel like would make him the actual face, and the money guys would be so happy to have him in the front.” Of course, they would. Nothing could re-establish the team’s tarnished image than the man no one dares to criticize for fear of charges of racism at the helm.
NBA legend Charles Barkley was excited at the news and expressed interest in joining the group: “If Obama called me, hell yeah, I’m buying in. I got so much love and admiration for that guy.” And really, who wouldn’t? His two terms as president dug America into a deep hole and now the Biden administration, to which many refer as Obama’s third term, is piling on the dirt. Who couldn’t love the guy?
