EARLY IN HIS tenure as owner, Sarver once tried to impress upon employees how big of a Suns fan he was and how excited he was to lead the organization. After all, he had been attending games since he was 8 years old.
在沙佛入主太阳的早期时代，他试图像员工们宣扬他对太阳的热爱，还有对领导整个太阳的热情，队毕竟他8岁开始就关注球赛 。
In one meeting, to drive home his point, Sarver passed around a picture of his wife in a Suns bikini, multiple former longtime employees told ESPN.
一次会议中，为了表示他（沙佛）的观点，他向众人传阅他老婆的比基尼辣照。几位长期任职于太阳的成员像ESPN透露
One former executive who was in the meeting said, "We're passing it around like a hot potato. Like, what in the hell are we supposed to do with this? That was just, you know, one early glimpse at the man."
一位参与其中的管理者说，我们视之为烫手山芋，并迅速的传递，或者说我们到底该怎么做？你知道的，这只是冰山一角
Sarver responded through his legal team: "This is a perfect example of how things get twisted," he said. "In the first year of my ownership, a local apparel retailer had recently been awarded the license to sell official NBA branded swimwear. The retailer sent my wife and me a sample along with a brochure, and I took a picture of her in the sample. I took the brochure and picture of her and gave it to the people at the Suns in charge of overseeing merchandise with the message: 'Here's the catalog, this
is what the swimsuit looks like, and if you have any interest in carrying this line in the team shop, then here's the number to call.'"
沙佛通过法律顾问回应，这件事情就是如何利用部分事实扭曲全像的真实展现。“这是我拥有球队的第一年，当地一家泳装场获得生产NBA logo泳装的资格，我收到了样品与目录。我的太太试穿并拍了张照。”
“我把照片与样册交给我们的商品部，并告诉他这就是实拍&资料·如果他们对这个产品有兴趣可以打电话给他们”
（这边还有额外的意思，大概是样品被他老婆穿过，所以他只能提供照片而不是原味样品。其实我真的不知道哪种比较变态）
More than a dozen employees recalled Sarver making lewd comments in all-staff meetings, including discussing times when his wife would perform oral sex on him. Four former employees said that in several all-staff meetings Sarver claimed he needed to wear Magnum or extra-large condoms. Former employees said he asked players about their sex lives and the sexual prowess of their significant others.
十多位员工回忆，沙佛在全体员工会议发表他的太太替他口交了几次；四位员工说沙佛曾跟他们说“world 很大，需要XL套子”也有人说，沙佛询问了球员的性能力。
"Women have very little value," one female former staffer said she felt.
“女人的产值很低”一位女性说沙佛想表达
"Women are possessions. And I think we're nowhere close to where he thinks men are."
“女人只是一种所有物，她们想取代我们（男人）的位置还早的很”
Through his legal team, Sarver denied talking about his sex life with employees and said he had "absolutely not" talked about condoms.
通过法律顾问，沙佛否认与员工讨论性生活、更没有提过保险套。
Before the 2008-09 season, a pregnant Suns employee who was helping coordinate the 2009 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix was told by Sarver that she wouldn't be able to continue in that role, two employees with knowledge of his remarks said. The two employees said Sarver explained that the woman would be breastfeeding and would need to be home with her newborn.
一位09年原负责在太阳举办的全明星赛事的怀孕女员工，在08-09赛前被沙佛告知，她将离开这个职位。沙佛告诉其他员工，她需要哺育并返家照顾新生儿。
"It was so out of line and so inappropriate," one of the employees familiar with the remark said.
Some employees believed that such a move would have violated discrimination and employment laws, and the two employees said other members of Suns management quickly rebuked Sarver and told the female employee she would remain in her role.
“这已经越线了，而且非常不恰当”一位员工说
一些员工觉得这已经涉及歧视并违反雇用法。太阳的其他管理人员喝斥了沙佛，并让那位女员工回到原岗位。
Sarver, through his legal team, denied ever saying such a thing: "In the context of potential accommodations, I told her, in no uncertain terms, that the Suns were 100% behind her, and that we were prepared to provide support for her, whatever that meant. I remember discussing potential temporary adjustments to her schedule and the best way to tackle the All-Star weekend with these considerations in mind. She worked during the All-Star game."
沙佛通过法律顾问否认了
在方便的情况下，我告诉那位员工，太阳队将百分之百支持她，我们将提供支援，不管她需要什么。我记得我们讨论过她（生产）时程可能造成的临时调度，以及这些问题可能对全明星赛造成的影响。而她也在全明星赛周完成了她的工作。
“If the commissioner comes in and investigates to see what the f
