donald sterling is a horrible person

if they don't force him out i'll wear my elbow pad upside down!

i bet he gets the lifetime suspension and the max 2.5 mill fine and he'll sell the team during the offseason

they send joey crawford to his house

he will be suspended in a tub of goo for life. little kids will throw popcorn at him.

I don't think he focused on it to any strange degree. He gives it two paragraphs in order to support his point that the "making and release of this tape are so sleazy" and that we probably should have been outraged over sterling's earlier offenses, which were more substantial and acquired through less sleazy means. It is the same point others have made on ILX, and it is OTM. There's nothing odd about it.

lol i suspect pretty hard the owners dont want to create a prescient here, cuban said as much and hes pretty liberal and forward thinking relative to the rest

You couldn't even call this guy's obv attitude "an open secret," it was more established than that. He's like Marge Schott w/ the Reds 20-25 years ago, only the culture hadn't evolved to make her pay the PR cost (permanently) at that point.

yup

being reported now that doc will quit of sterling sticks around

really curious to see how sterling reacts to all this, hes got fuck you money and hes a fuck you guy

also really curious to hear someone ask doc what he thought of sterlings pervious misdeeds when he took the job

not sure he could show his face in public anymore, let alone a Clips game.

wasnt doc basically traded?

ha yes

whats steve blake's take on all of this

About Sterling... He's a lawyer who sues at the drop of a hat and believes in litigation battles to get out of a contract. He's not a very nice human.

lifetime ban = physical presence at games?

at games, in offices, as a part of the bball operation

let's remember this is the right thing being done solely for bottom-line reasons

yeah man he's banished from everything NBA related

i guess the point is to force him to sell?

next ban dolan

I was just saying I hope this creates a precedential slippery slope so they can ban dolan

are you accusing the NBA of being a business? I thought it was a public trust.

Got to, man, this America.

This was said by Silver directly yes

Several groups with desire to purchase Clippers are already stepping forward, with a bidding war expected to exceed $1 billion for Clippers.

lolz 4eva

oh all of a sudden Adam Silver remembers the previous allegations about Sterling

I like the way Silver is carrying himself here, seems like not such a bad guy, although he probably is a bad guy given that he's the commissioner of the NBA

must be, no way hes just another falible person like the rest of us, *sniff* too bad he doesnt have moral x-ray vision like message board posters

lol

oh my god

Former Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his wife, Shelly, have decided not to divorce, according to a filing in Los Angeles Superior Court.

“Notwithstanding all the difficult events of the last two years, the Sterlings have resolved their differences,” Donald Sterling’s attorney, Bobby Samini, wrote in an email to The Times on Friday.
