Well....let the games begin. Just watch when the thought police go after the owner of the Orlando Magic regarding his stance on gay marriage.


The funny thing is, Sterling will probably have the last laugh in all this, because he'll come out with even more money. What is the team worth?

Not sure why people keep blaming the media for this... lol.
With a history...........so nobody cared prior and now the "mob" screams? The "mob" always picks some situation to scream..............apparently this is one. Who is next "mob". I hear nobody screaming about snoop doggy dog lion. I guess if they did they would be a racist.........so it goes.

Do you agree with what Sterling said? It is a simple yes or no question.
So as long as you don't own an NBA team yet are a racist all is well? Or are you just playing the "mob" game. Sad game too.

Still didn't answer the question but I doubt you ever or anybody else will.

Did Orlando Magic's owner get caught making a bunch of bigoted slurs too recently?

Of course Sterling will make a lot of money from this sale, that isn't the point of a forced sale if that happens. The man is already a billionaire, he just won't get to play the rich man's version of fantasy sports.

This thread is about an NBA being banned for life by the NBA. How is this a concept you are failing to grasp?

Are you outraged over what Snoop Dogg said? I also doubt you will ever answer your own question.

LOL............when the "mob" gets done with this one Orlando man will be on the block.............Don't say it too loud though and the "mob" won't even know it. Most didn't even know who the Clippers were a week ago.

Regardless of what racist remarks he made, he should not be forced to sell something that
belongs to him, unless he willingly wants to.

If folks do not like/are offended by what he said, simply do not play, coach, or attend any of the games.
I think they call it a boycott

NBA banned itself? I missed that. I guess when I get back home tonight I will catch it on ESPN.

I already said I don't care about the double dog. It is just so ridiculous that the new screamers about Sterling aren't. I guess it's ok for some to be racist by the mob.

Hell if we were puffing and passing I'd laugh my head off............speaking of that the dog was puffing a bit too much here it seems......lol

Well if these folks got their marching orders he would be run outta town. Of course he could claim being a victim.............being black and all and a rapper. Funny thing is Al Gore's wife tried to get rid of all these evil rapppers at one time. lol

Now it's save the white bears. It's a comedy show.
