    The NBA has a constitution. One that Sterling agreed to when he purchased the team. It states that the other owners can vote him out. He will get slaughtered if he fights this.

    And holy shit are you stupid. It's not about what he believes. He's believed this racist shit his whole life, everyone knew it and the NBA did nothing. Think.


    The owners can vote him out, and create a very slippery slope for themselves if they do.

    And you are fucking stupid if you think a simple vote will get him out, contracts/constitutions mean shit to guys with 1.9 billion dollars ...

    I love this line of defense when you have nothing but bullshit to spew:

    Holy shit are you stupid. Blah Blah Blah ... I'm so smart ... Think.

    What's there to think about dumb fuck.

    The NBA is embarrassed and trying to cover their ass.

    If the dude chooses to fight he has a case. He broke no laws, none ...

    As I stated ... more than 1 NBA owner agrees with me.



    Slipper slope argument. Noted.

    I continue to call you an idiot because I can't believe how stupid the things you say are.

    You better check Mark Cubans timeline, homie. "I agree 100% with the actions taken against Sterling". Oops.

    The league constitution allows owners to be forced out for ­offenses such as gambling, rigging games or ordering the team not to show up for games. There is nothing that fits Sterling’s comments precisely. The closest might be a provision to force a sale if an owner should “fail or refuse to fulfill its contractual obligations . . . in such a way as to affect the Association or its Members adversely.”

    So you're also aware that the NBA could terminate his franschise and he wouldn't get a dime for it? That's what happens when Sterling fights this. Sterling won't own this team next season.

    BINGO. If Sterling is smart he cuts his losses and sells the team. Otherwise the NBA will purchase the team from him which is the valued 575 million. If he chooses to sell he'll get much much more than 575 million.

    Sterling has no case at all. Silver is a former lawyer himself, he isn't going to make a landmark decision that was illegal. It is why he waited a few days before making a decision making sure everything was in the clear legally.

    I think the only solution is for whites to make up and define a negative racialist term for whites that other races could use to disparage them with and market it well...in order to get some of this lost racialist $$ back.

    Homie ...

    Checked his time line.

    He agrees with his actions ...

    Sterling was not told to sell the team. He was banned, which Cuban agreed with.

    Are you really that fucking stupid?

    No owner wants to touch this thing and get crucified by the media. It wouldn't be a smart move for them, and there is no point to stick up for an idiot like Sterling. He was an incompetent fuck for a long time before this controversy. He only had a couple winning season out of the 30 years he has owned the franchise. The Clippers were a laughingstock for years, and probably would have continued to be if not for a gift wrapped Chris Paul.

    If you think this is a First Amendment issue, you're dumber than the dumbest of the Doogs.

    This is not a first amendment issue, it is a freedom of speech issue.

    Last I checked this is America, and American's have the God given right to be as doog fucking stupid with our comments as we so choose.

    He broke no laws. He pays his black coach 7 million a year, and employs a lot of black men.

    Where was the outrage when this slum lord was in trouble for real acts of racism.

    It is a sad day in America when a man can't be stupid.
    It is your right to be stupid. It is not your right to own a franchise that is part of an association.

    You believing in god actually explains a lot.
    Hey man I believe in God and understand this isn't a freedom of speech issue. If anything constitutional it's a right to privacy issue, but I don't know how there could be any reasonable expectation that a private institution would not use private information that was shared publicly, even if that information was illegally obtained. Sterling may be able to sue Ms. V over the privacy infringement, but there's no way the NBA is going to be liable for that.
    Any time I insult someone for believing in god just imagine there's a little disclaimer at the bottom that says. *does not apply to DNC, he is intelligent and sexy no matter what he believes*.
    Stop sucking dnc's dick.
