Well, the news is out everybody: You should now tape record everything you see or hear and that means every player, GM, owner, staff, whatever, and if you can catch them saying anything possibly off putting after a few drinks at the bar then TMZ will pay you mucho $$$$ and then they will be banned for life from whatever league, am I right?
well, yanno what, now it's sounding like a gentlemen's uppidy rich golf club, with no women allowed and we make our own rules as we go, here b/c we're rich and no one or nothing else matters, so Sterling is out....and we're forcing a sale....
awwww, big men....
What? You are just rambling nonsense now. The NBA has rules on how a forced sale can happen, Sterling agreed to those rules when he purchased the team. Not sure what issue you are having here.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from repercussions. The NBA did what was within their right through the code of conduct that Sterling agreed to when he purchased the team.
Wrong, Sterling thought he was discussing this in the privacy of his Own home and telephone, he didn't know anyone else was going to hear this? So, it wasn't against any code of conduct...that woman made it public, she blatenly bated him, then taped it and sold it....and got him in all this trouble...and when you listen to what he said, it wasn't all bad....and I'm certain as in everything else, people took a lot of things he said, out of context....and some of the things he said was wrong....agreed...but hey, we all do it....and have done it....in the privacy of our own home.
Once again, I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall in the homes of all those NBA players, that night after they heard the tape? Wonder what kind words they said about him?

Remember, what's good for the goose ...
Everyone has a cell phone these days, you should always be concerned about this. All it takes is one employee to record you saying something racist about the boss and then show it to the boss to get you fired.

It still doesn't matter, it is public knowledge now, no matter how red in the face you want to get arguing this.

yeah, but that is THEIR rules....and not what the public as a whole sees as right...I'd like to read those rules....and what gives them the right to sell a ball team out from under and owner? And at what price....dictators....a rich man's game. No play on words intended

FWIW, I heard on a radio program that Sterling was the one who recorded the call, that he recorded all of his phone conversations.
I also find it odd that you are willing to make excuses for this man. Really shows your own biases, especially the bolded portions.

I'm not red in the face and I'm not arguing, but, what I am, is, stating opinon, and this whole thing is wrong....and there are a whole lot of people out there who understand a much larger picture and the repercussions of such things....opening a can of worms here ......big time
sometimes ya just gotta laugh and say, "he's a jerk, and let it go at that". It's called choosing your battles wisely.
