Support of Phoenix Suns Journalist Gerald Bourguet & Family

Hi Suns fam,

I wanted to start this GoFundMe for Gerald Bourguet to support him and his family after he was wrongfully let go from PHNX Sports and All City Network.

Gerald has been a pillar in the Suns community for over nine years, dedicated to his work, the fans and our entire community. He has worked tirelessly to produce some of the best sports writing we have seen, consistently putting out content surrounding the Phoenix Suns and their franchise that we as fans have loved for all these many years. Outside of his seemingly never-ending work schedule, Gerald is a loving devoted husband to his wife, who both just welcomed their newborn son into the world just a few months ago.

The world has not been an easy place to live in as of late, more and more every day it feels as if injustices fall on silent ears. Unfortunately, none of us are immune to injustices, even when we are speaking out for what is right. Gerald recently found himself in this situation after putting out a statement in regard to the recent death of public-figure Charlie Kirk. I want to make it clear that not only Gerald, but me as well, have never, and will never, condone the use of gun violence in this country. Unlike others, Gerald decided to use his voice and his platform to courageously speak out on the injustices we see befall us every day in this country knowing not everyone shares the same opinions as he. Because of this, Gerald was terminated from his long-time job with PHNX Sports. I believe that we all have the right to exercise our freedom of speech, we are not free from the consequences that follow but I do not believe Gerald should have been released from his position at PHNX Sports because of it.

I am creating this GoFundMe to help support him, his wife, and their newborn child through this incredibly difficult time. Gerald is a great man, friend, husband, father, and a vital part in the life and breath of Phoenix sports. As an incredibly talented and gifted sports writer, any media outlet would be lucky to have him but until then, I am asking for donations to help his family. The Suns family stands behind Gerald and I hope this will give him some comfort knowing there are people that see the injustice and won't stay silent.

Thank you again
