Elderly Lady, Greta Rogers, Savagey Roasts Robert Sarver At Phoenix City Council Meeting

The controversial news about Suns owner Robert Sarver threatening to take the Suns to Seattle or Las Vegas, if the city of Phoenix won’t authorize $150 million in funding for renovations to the Suns’ arena, made plenty of headlines over these past couple of days. There was supposed to be a city council vote on Wednesday, that has now been pushed back a month. But nontheless, we got to hear Greta Rogers speak. The elderly lady completely went off on Sarver at the city council meeting.

 

“Mr. Sarver has done nothing to improve this team in the 14 years he’s owned it. He’s never funded or bought, paid for, two or three key players, which makes any professional sports team successful or on the road to success. He’s so tight he squeaks when he walks. And you have been negotiating with this kind of person? Shame on each and all of you. And upon you, Ed, I thought your principles were higher and better than this. We are not in the business of paying taxes to support private enterprise. And especially not an entertainment enterprise. They can support themselves or fail on their own lack of diligence.”

Twitter loved it and praised Greta Rogers:

GET THIS WOMAN ON @FirstTake https://t.co/r2aUCHruPl

As a lifelong, long-suffering #PhoenixSuns fan, I completely agree with every word spoken by this woman. https://t.co/4laQveHkgH

Please leave our city, Sarver. Leave the basketball team behind. You've tortured it enough.

We have a new Sports President, her name is Greta. Give this 60 seconds. She destroys Rob Sarver, and everyone else like him. https://t.co/iQFPeRfaju
