Maybe there's a threshold of proof needed to take such severe actions. The NBA has done what many on here claim to want them to do (not rush to judgment without proof). Still, it's not enough for some people...
True, it's a sticky situation. It's just that to me outright housing discrimination and job discrimination is a much more egegious and harmful offense than telling someone in a private conversation not to bring people of a certain ethnicity to NBA games. Both examples are racist, but housing discrimination is just moreso IMO.
It's just odd that now the NBA decides to have a problem with his blatant racism. We should not allow the media that much influence.
um, what I act like isn't the issue, once again, show me where it says that in the rules, I'm just curious...what do they say...
If a man makes any kind of racist comment, he then has to pay so much money and sell his team?
Easy, take dollars out of Billionares pockets, that's how. They didn't become Billionares by losing money from sponsors because of the rantings of a crotchety old man. Let's say this was another owner other than Sterling and his team could possibly lose sponsorship money, Sterling himself would have been first in line for that owners removal.

Would be so nice if some would get as upset when the president of our country lies. Apparently, it's worse for an old white man to make a racist comment.

ahhh but that is the key, the media can make or break someone, and they have not only that much influence, but power beyond the imagination.....
once again... the NBA gets Billions from TV stations to show games. Of course they can make or break a person and they will break a person if they believe he will hurt their bottom line.

some? Hell.. most of you guys on CD hate the president.
why does a Black man have to fall from grace every time a white man bites the dust? This whole "why isn't a black man going down" is hilarious.
