    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.
    They are already sticking up for him.

    As Cuban said, it is a slippery slope.

    Losing property / investments / businesses ... because of what you say in privacy in your own home?

    If they knew he was a racist they put up with it for 33 years. Why now? Because the media made a big deal out of it.

    Anybody who can get past their "outrage" can see that is fucked up.

    Who is sticking up for him? The vote will be 29-0 to close the fucking gates on him. No owner is going to risk their neck associating themselves with that clown.

    Not to mention before all this Sterling wasn't exactly a popular owner either. I'm sure there were a lot of guys who wanted him to LEAVE! for a long time now.

    Twist all you want dumb fuck.

    Banning him for life is rock solid legally.

    Nobody is contesting that portion of the penalty.

    You can't take away his franchise without a fight. If he chooses to sell he will, and he will make mad cash.

    If he digs in, the NBA is in for a fight ... I don't give a fuck if it is 29-0 ...

    You like to joke about CONTRACTS, we all know they are bullshit and who ever has the best lawyer determines what the CONTRACT says.

    Lawyers love to fight, and he is a lawyer.

    You keep trying to flip both sides ... he is banned ... big deal. He won't sell without a fight unless it is financially worth it to him.

    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.
    Link to the constitution please.. I'd like to read it. You seem to know a lot about it. Please share.

    This is one of the best articles I have seen on the matter. From someone with sources who knows something rather than people talking out of their asses.

    The part about Sterling suing and through the process of discovery exposing other racist statements by other owners is interesting, or not. Also of note a suit by Sterling would go on for a very long time. The NBA could have a lot of embarrassing dirty laundry on display.

    “Here’s what I did,” Cuban said. “I went and looked at a picture of my house, since I’m on the road, and I saw that it was made out of a whole lot of glass. So I decided I don’t have anything else to say on the whole topic. And that’s my statement.”
