What I mean to say is this.....let any man here, who is free of any one racist coment in his/her entire life, cast the first stone....I know I can't. I've joked around, gosh, when we were kids, we joked around with those Italian jokes, black jokes, jewish jokes....no one seems to be able to laugh at themselves any longer, it is a crazy angry corrupt world.
The key to any joke is the execution...
Sterlings jokes weren't funny so he was booed off the stage.

yeah, well, I would hope that I have a tougher skin then most!
Boo hoo, he said a bad thing, boo hoo.....so now I've got to get even, when his girlfriend set him up, and in conversation in the privacy of his own home....she should be fined also, that was a deviate trick to play...and now she states she wants to run for President....wow, she sure belongs in politics, that's for certain. She fit right in
and by the way, once again, I bet there isn't a black alive that hasn't at one time or another made a comment about whitie.....especially when you all get together....
She cost Donald Sterling more money in one day than she will earn on her back sleeping with her next sugar daddy.
And you think someone should be killed for that? Talk about reaching a new low. On and Sterling will probably make close to a billion dollars when he is forced to sell the team, so don't cry too much for that racist piece of garbage.

What does the last statement have to do with Sterlings recordings?
He works in an organization that employs 80% Blacks... pretty sure this is why he was banned.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean you can't be banned for life for violating an organization's rules of conduct.
I have to agree with you on this. The NBA rules of conduct were violated and the most severe penalties that were available to Silver were imposed on the offender.....so NBA justice was served. You concur?
I believe that the code of conduct applies to all who are involved with the NBA...owners, coaches, players.
I think people will be watching carefully now to see if there are offenses by others in the league, i.e. players and if they are meted out the same severe penalties. We all know things are said in the privacy of our homes that are not meant to be shared with the public. Sterling got caught and suffered the consequences. Lets see, in the future; if any others are called out for equally offensive language, private or public and banned for life. It should be an interesting study in just how racism is viewed in the NBA and America.
Many are expressing if this were a NBA black owner, player, coach racist comment; that it would be overlooked....the precedent has now been set.
