Donald Sterling doesn't like minorities very much

[BCR]

TMZ said she had like 100 hours of recordings I believe.

The NBA did what they did with a rookie commissioner who was hearing a lot of backlash demanding he came down hard. It was a tough spot and certainly a slippery slope to make this ban off private tapes BUT apparently TMZ says in one recording that wasn't released that Sterling is well aware he is being recorded too.

The thing is the NBA may have actually done Sterling a favor if he takes the advice to sell this team because the sooner the better for him in regards to getting the most he probably can now that his reputation is destroyed.

If the NBA didn't do anything it would create a ton of negative publicity for them but lets not even think about that for a minute if Sterling was able to still do things business as usual with nothing done to him then the Clippers would never regain sponsorships, people would stop coming to the games, players wouldn't want to be there anymore,etc... It may have been fun to see the crash and burn of Sterling from that aspect except when I think about not just the players on the team but all the people who work at the stadium employed the decrease in customers and revenues just trickles down to them.

Anyone who buys this team (assuming the old fuck don't fight selling it) will lowball the shit out of Sterling and once they get a new owner in who is respectable you can bet all these sponsors will line right back up to take part again.

Nobody is getting low-balled. There were 9 bidders for Milwaukee. The owners will vote him out because he's bad for business, and this isn't some free market business. It's an association, like a homeowners association, and he just shit all over their block and tried to tank all their value. If it was a free market LBJ would get $100 million a year. They won't fuck with his money though. They want him gone, but money is sacred. He'll have a ton of bidders and get close to a billion.

Moral of the story. Keep your dickgirls away from your wife. Nothing good can come of it.

and yet you still get retards talking about wire tapping laws as an easy escape for this clown

like even if he didn't know he was being recorded *WHICH HE DID* somehow that justifies 30+ years of racism

I don't see the 'escape' angle, just more of a retribution angle. He will get what's coming to him, he will lose the team and make like another billion dollars during the bidding war that will surely ensue after this vote thing happens. I heard today that this woman claims that she didn't release this tape, but someone snagged it from her and released it to TMZ for fat cash, so that blows that angle too.

I mean, this is much worse than comparing Israel to an apartheid State anyway, right?

Sounds more like he's getting blackballed, as was his girlfriend..........

Hey jackass,

What player has been convicted of rape or murder and continued playing?

[4Dragons]

lol, found:

Who's been convicted of rape or murder and continued playing?

The chick says that Sterling was aware of the fact that she was recording him, making it legal. I haven't seen him dispute that.

Mark Cuban noted that the NBA constitution only allows a team to be taken away from an owner if he is involved in gambling. Owners don't have contracts with vague "good citizen" clauses like players and coaches. But the league is allowed to ban him, or anyone else, from all NBA activities- as they have done. He loved sitting courtside, taking people into the locker room, and generally being a big shot. Without the ability to do that, he has no reason to own the team. The only reason he would hold on to it now is to be a contrarian dick, which is entirely possible.

Kareem Abdul Jabar wrote a good Op-Ed yesterday about how everyone in basketball has known for many years that Silver is a racist asshole and it's ridiculous for everyone to be outraged all of the sudden. The testimony in his court cases was damning.

Unconfirmed reports say that the Clippers, Warriors, Grizzlies, and Thunder, all told Adam Silver that they would refuse to play tonight's games if Donald Sterling was not banned for life.

Yeah jackass, I didn't make that pic but i'm glad it will make you just walk around in a blind rage all day.

What I mean by that is the team is depreciating in value and will continue to do so the longer it takes for him to sell the team but he probably can unload it quickly if he don't beat around the bush.

Most things I've read have the team value around $575-750 million dollars. I'm not sure about a billion but wtf knows.

The owners will vote him out for sure because it's negative PR not to do so. Anyone who don't is going to look very bad to a point where I can see every single one of them saying get the fuck out.

Come to think of it even with the loss of sponsors the timing is like perfect for Sterling since the season is practically over so he already got paid good on for the year and if he goes about it quickly he can probably unload the team in the off season still netting himself close to if not fair market value.

Wow DirtyB. You really do have 0% tactfulness and decency when talking to others. Who again is the jackass here? What happened to you; I thought liberals were supposed to be the "tolerant and understanding" ones? It is one thing to debate and make your point, and it is another to act like a total idiot who consistently degrades others. Whether you are right or wrong on an issue, more people may be willing to listen to you if you stopped acting like a complete asshole at least some of the time.

Ok. One nobody was convicted of attempted rape. 4dragons's post implies that there's this epidemic of rapes and murders that are getting excused because the perpetrators are black.

[BCR]

Agree BNP that the value would certainly flounder while he fought them, but ultimately they have to approve any new ownership group and they'll make damn sure he gets fair market value. What he gets for the team directly affects what their team is worth, so they are highly motivated to make sure he gets paid. That's why it's kind of like a housing association. You want the asshole out, but you don't want him to sell low. That makes your property worth less.

Yeah, because you and 4dragons have treated me with such tact and decency. I'm very tolerant and understanding to everyone who has not already established themselves to be a complete asshole.

Actually I did a number of times and even backed you up at one point when someone decided to label you as a dumbass. It wasn't until directly afterward when you decided to go on with your idiot rant about me that I gave up. Did you expect me to keep talking nice? Get real dude

"Again, there's no excuse for his positions. There's no excuse for what he said. There's no excuse for anybody to support racism. There's no place for it in our league, but there's a very, very, very slippery slope."

He said forcing Sterling to sell would be un-American:

"But regardless of your background, regardless of the history they have, if we're taking something somebody said in their home and we're trying to turn it into something that leads to you being forced to divest property in any way, shape or form, that's not the United States of America. I don't want to be part of that."

. He walked these comments back all the way today and said he supported the action today 100 percent. To me, who gives a shit what Sterling said? It's irrelevant. I've said much worse. But if I fuck up and run my mouth to an unstable whore, why should everyone else have to pay for it? Why does the Okc owner have to lose millions when those two teams boycott their unrelated game? Why does TNT have to lose millions with no games? It's American to have the ability to run your mouth. But to drag the league that's made you richer down because you lost your shit isn't admirable. He isn't getting jailed. All his issues are caused by his mouth and his dick. That he was illegally recorded by a fucked up gold digger is totally on him.
