A passionate Phoenix Suns fan is fed up with the team's losing record and wants team owner Robert Sarver to know it.

Alex Smith started a GoFundMe page to raise money for billboard time that will read #SarverOut.

Within five hours, Smith met his goal of $1,650, which would pay for a week's worth of billboard time. 

Smith is pushing for new ownership for the Phoenix Suns, who fired head coach Earl Watson on Monday just three games into the season. He blames Sarver for the team's lack of improvement. 

"He's the only thing we haven't changed here. We have rolled over general managers, players, coaching staff. He's the only constant throughout the last ten years here," Smith said.

Smith has raised more than $2,000 in 24 hours.

A location has not been officially selected but will be near downtown in mid-November.
