In my view - the NBA needs to pay dearly in court for what they have [already] done to Sterling. I still think if Sterling brings suit that what the NBA is doing will never hold up.

PS - What about Sterling's black girlfriend makes him a racist?
Sure let's kick the Jew of the league & replace him with Muslims. The Israel lobby will be in touch soon.

I bet he will and if he doesn't this opens up a can of worms for the NBA and it will be used against them FOREVER! Anytime someone is caught saying something, whether it be taped unknowingly in private or heard on the street corner, they will be forced to sell their team and demand that they are banned for life. There WILL be a ton of scared NBA people out there.

BINGO! And I hope there are tremendously severe consequences (multi-million dollar fines and 100 game suspensions) for NBA players too when (not IF) they say anything at all offensive...or even have a thought or belief or opinion that could be taken wrong by anyone, at any time, or at any place...including in the privacy of their home.

I encountered that problem before. A white guy or black guy etc, not scary. Somebody trying to break into my home, and me catching them in the act twice, is scary. That has happen to me before, after awhile being around people, nothing looks scary, until you encounter somebody who sticks out like a sore thumb.

Well, from what I understand, Sterling will agree to sell the team, and will end up with 2 billion dollars. So, who has the last laugh?
