Robert Sarver was recently exposed for a history of racism and sexism. The Phoenix Suns owner had been part of a lengthy investigation, and the results were not good. Consequently, the league hit Sarver with a $10 million fine as well as a one-year suspension from his team’s games.
Immediately after these findings, players were asking the league why Sarver wasn’t asked to sell the team. Overall, there was this sense that the league wasn’t going as hard on Sarver as they did Donald Sterling. In the end, however, Sarver decided it would be best for him to sell the franchise.
Over the last few months, there have been plenty of rumors as to who would be most interested in the team. Subsequently, names like Jeff Bezos and Shaq had been thrown around quite a bit. However, it seems like none of those people were ever really involved.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Billionaire mortgage lender Mat Ishbia is being granted the sale of the team. His net worth is currently over $5 billion, and it remains to be seen how much he bought the Suns for. Interestingly enough, Ishbia played for Michigan State as a walk-on and even won a National title with them over 20 years ago.
Overall, this will come as great news for the players who get to move on from Sarver’s tenure. He is someone who was hated by the league, and he was certainly hated by the players themselves.

It’s been less than a week since Gunna’s release from jail after taking a plea deal.
As the story and YSL’s RICO case as a whole continue to develop, many big names are weighing in on social media.
Last Thursday (December 15), 6ix9ine took to his Instagram account to publicly accuse the “Drip Too Hard” rapper of snitching in order to get out of jail.
The “KEKE” rapper’s manager, Wack 100 is now speaking out as well, sharing the same sentiments as his artist.
In an Instagram post yesterday (December 19), Wack shared his thoughts on Gunna taking the plea deal. He directly calls out DJ Akademiks in the process.
“@akademiks Stop bro … His statements were clearly on the RECORD … And the whole “DEFENSE” was #YSL IS NOT I REPEAT IS NOT A GANG JUST A RECORD LABEL… YOU HIM OR THEM CANT REWRITE THE LAWS OF #SNITCHING. CO-OPERATION WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAKES U A CO OPERANT WHICH EQUALS #Telling,” he wrote.
His post comes after Akademiks shared screenshots of a conversation with Gunna’s attorney, Steve Sadow.
In the screenshots, the media personality asks Sadow if he can “publicly address how Gunna’s viral ‘yes ma’am video affects Thug and YSL if at all?”
“Doesn’t effect anyone but my client. Out of court statements at a plea hearing cannot come into evidence against someone else,” the attorney replies. He then confirms his consent for Akademiks to share this conversation online.
Sadow has been extremely busy since his client’s release, insisting that there is no authenticity behind the rumors.
However, it seems as though Wack and 6ix9ine aren’t buying it.
“Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating. His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies!!!” the attorney wrote in an Instagram post on December 15.

Additionally, Sadow says that the Georgie native plans to plead the 5th if he’s called to testify against his YSL crew.
On the other hand, Thugger’s attorney, Brian Steel, is speaking out about how these plea deals affect his client. He says that these deals being offered to other members of YSL indicate that the “Best Friend” rapper is evidently being targeted.
Based on the information that we have, what do you think about the situation? Can the snitching rumors finally be put to rest? As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.
Formula One has become one of the most popular sports in the entire world. Thanks to the Netflix docuseries Drive To Survive, more people are enticed in the sport than ever before. Overall, there are some amazing personalities throughout the sport. Additionally, there is plenty of drama to keep you coming back for more.
In 2020, Formula One found itself in the spotlight thanks to numerous drivers taking a stand against racism. Europe has been known for taking a blind eye to these matters, however, drivers like Lewis Hamilton led the charge for drivers to be more politically engaged.
For the most part, Formula One was encouraging these sorts of statements. Hamilton would wear t-shirts that bring awareness to Breonna Taylor, while others would wear “End Racism” shirts. The only time things got dicey was when the sport would go to the middle east, where some countries have poor human rights records.
Subsequently, Formula One has decided to reverse its stance on political statements. According to TMZ, the organization has officially banned any sort of political statements at its races. However, if a player gets a message approved by F1, then they can make it.
This is a fairly shocking decision, however, it was one that was recommended by the International Olympic Committee. The IOC wants to make sports politically neutral, and now, F1 is following suit.
Sound off on what you think of the decision, in the comments down below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

She’s the multihyphenate “it” girl that has captivated viewers on shows like Star and Grown-ish, but Ryan Destiny’s career started in music. A global audience has already been introduced to the several talents Ryan has to offer, and often, it can be easy to box her in as an actress with a big voice. Yet, Ryan has been pursuing music since her pre-teen days, even being a part of a girl group and signing a record deal. Acting catapulted her into stardom, but R&B-Pop aspirations have lingered.
Recently, Ryan shared her new single “How Many,” and the accompanying visual was a stunning nod to R&B mavens of yesteryear. We’ve seen her star in music videos for artists like Doja Cat, Justin Bieber, and two for Big Sean. This time, she’s taking center stage as she delivers a track about a cheating partner who has taken her for granted.
In our insightful 12 Days of Christmas interview with Ryan, she opens up about perfecting the balance in juggling multiple pursuits, especially as her acting career continues to elevate.
“Just being transparent, I feel like it’s something that still has to kind of go day by day with it,” Ryan exclusively told us. “And I’m very interested to see how my next year goes because it’s probably going to be the hardest to juggle, just out of the past few years, because of the pandemic, and everything that went on, I feel like it really slowed a lot of things down.”
“But now, since things are starting to pick back up, it’s just going to be really interesting to see how it all really can be done, because of the projects that I have coming out, with acting, and then more things being produced, and then music as well. And just kind of how those two live together.”
Read more from our interview with Ryan as she opens up about maintaining her privacy, only being in competition with herself, and being okay with not having it all together.
Lil Wayne is serving the holiday spirit, as the rapper brought his “A Very Weezy Christmas” to some lucky New Orleans children. In a partnership with Young Money Entertainment president Mack Maine and sporting goods company Wilson, Wayne invited 150 kids to the local Dave & Busters to meet Santa.
He posted a series of photos from the event on Instagram. As expected, they went all out on the decorations, transforming the D&B’s into a Christmas wonderland. Or, as the giant sign read, Weezy’s Christmas. Parents smiled in front of the backdrop with their children. “Santa” even posed with a custom Lil Wayne football.
“This Christmas @mackmaine4president & I wanted to give some future hall of famers the gift of game w/ the help of @Wilson,” Wayne wrote. “Making sure they received the necessary resources so they could enjoy all the benefits of being a top tier athlete was very important to us! #HappyHolidays #WeezyChristmas.”
“Whether it’s learning about sportsmanship, teamwork, or just using the field as a way to escape everyday stresses, we wanted to make sure these kids get to experience impactful moments,” he added in a press release, via Billboard.
Lil Wayne has been a documented fan of the holiday, too. Ten years ago, he wished a “Merry Christmas to all” to his Twitter fans.
Merry Christmas to all
