Oh jealousy is the last thing that would come to mind.

Like I said, you harbor such contempt for black people, yet like sterling, it's all good when it comes to getting some. I just find that funny in an ironic sort of way. The reason why she disassociated herself from black people is probably due to the attitudes displayed here. I am mixed with just about everything including black, and I find no shame in it.

See what you want, but the fact is: Blacks make up a small percentage of fans attending professional sporting events.

I would be surprised if they don't pressure him to sell or even bring it to a vote of the other owners. At minimum, he will receive a hefty fine and a "suspension".
Bingo.

He's entitled to be a bigoted idiot within the bounds of the law, and others are entitled to punish him according for being a bigot idiot within the bounds of the law, even if that means he loses his team and has to disappear from the public spotlight.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences - it just means you can't be tossed in jail or otherwise made into a criminal for saying something unpopular. You can still be fired, pressured to resign, and rightfully mocked for your stupidity.

I agree and I feel like the consequences should be equal across the board. For example, if Sterling is banned from the NBA - any representative (player, coach, GM, etc) of the NBA from this point forward should also be banned.

The irony is that some of the most racist media figures and athletes are the ones calling for his removal and acting most outraged...Shaq, Barkley, Sharpton, Snoop. Sterling should pilot a short bus with those four mouth-breathers on board and drive it off a cliff. Five less racist a-holes on the planet. Oh, and he should save a seat for his pig girlfriend who recorded him and sold it to TMZ.

Someone advocates the murder of five people on city data and thinks they can persuade us to their viewpoint. Only the most foolish of fools would be persuaded. Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Hope you don't have children is all I can say.
