Every day across the country, Myanmar’s military and police are committing brutal acts that constitute crimes against humanity.

So it was wholly inappropriate as the most powerful man, my boss, 49 years old, i was 22, literally just out of college.

I think I can pretty confidently say, we won't lose any elections over that issue, anywhere in the country, people are concerned about a wholly different set of concerns. Inflation, an out-of-control border, Afghanistan withdrawal, the controversy over covid.

I am wholly shocked by some of the allegations purported by ESPN about me, personally, or about the Phoenix Suns and Mercury organizations.
