If its a public vote amongst the owners then kiss his ass goodbye. If its anonymous they don't vote him out imo because they all know their asses could be next.

Please explain.
It's not what he had, it's the fact that he was victim of a burglary. Personally I think both situations are hilarious and I could give a fuck how their business got out there. My stance on fairness is bolded since you missed it the first go around. Tell Tyrone I said supThe best part of this is it somehow clicks in your mind that this was unfair in any way to the kiddie porn guy. Theres nothing remotely similar between the two, and the fact that you think this way actually scares me. I think we need to keep an eye on you from now.
Huge difference between a terrible crime being exposed through illegal means (such as stolen tapes of a child molester abusing kids) and secretly recording a guy being a racist asshole in his private home.
I don't feel sorry for Sterling at all, as I think he's a piece of shit, and he abused his NBA ownership for a long time by intentionally fielding a lousy (aka cheap) team.
However, it's a joke that the NBA would be taking action against him for something he said to his girlfriend in his own home. Again, the only exception to this would be a recording of him admitting to a serious crime.
I keep hearing two arguments defending the NBA's actions:
1) Sterling was a known racist before, and committed many overt and public racist acts in the past, such as his housing discrimination situation about 10 years ago. My response: In that case, he should have been kicked out of the NBA at the time of those incidents, but NOT because of this current incident.
2) The NBA is a private organization and can do what it wants, or what it feels is in its best interests. My response: Yes, the NBA can do what it wants, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with them. There's a difference between what you have the legal right to do and what is ethically correct. I am not arguing that the NBA won't be able to legally uphold their decision. I just think they're wrong.
do you think he is the only billionaire nba owner that is a sick human being?
let's record and make public everything said inside the home of every owner just to be sure the nba doesn't have any undesireables
1) I read on espn.com yesterday that they're over 100 hundred hours of audio that the girl recorded, as well as video. It also stated he was aware he was being filmed and recorded. No explanation was given as to why he allowed it.
2) I made a wager with a friend of mind immediately after this happened that this would be the outcome. If he had stayed, he would be fielding a team of white second rate players, Europeans and draft picks that had no other choice to play for him if they wanted to be in the NBA. The protests would be insane. They may even start burning down the whole damn city. This was the only resolution that could happen.
3) I'm not familiar with the NBA by laws but I'm sure it's similar to MLB where they have they huge scope of "for the best interest of the game of baseball" which they used to suspend and eventually force Marge Schott to sell the Reds, used to ban Pete Rose for life, and suspended Steinbrenner several times for the Reggie incident, associating with the loan shark gambler dude etc.
What blows my mind again if true is the fact that he reportedly allowed these conversations to be recorded and videotaped. That debunks the excuse of an old racist man expressing his private thoughts in his home to his whore.

This is probably BS so the girl doesn't get in trouble for it.1) I read on espn.com yesterday that they're over 100 hundred hours of audio that the girl recorded, as well as video. It also stated he was aware he was being filmed and recorded. No explanation was given as to why he allowed it.
If he consented to being recorded, you would think this would have been mentioned and made clear when it first came out.
I am guessing he consented to other recordings of himself, but not this particular conversation.
Without reading the whole thread, it would surprise me if anyone was surprised with this guys fate.
If this clown was the owner of a English premier league club (the biggest and most watched sporting league in the world) it would be impossible for him to continue. In fact he'd be arrested and charged of racism with chance of prison time.
Once that tape was leaked it's surely game over?..... Forget all the "he was in his own home and can say what he likes nonsense".... Getting caught spewing blatant racism in the year 2014 is a simple 'off with his head' job.
Cut and dried case (in this day and age)
Horseshit Willie, and you too Druff. This isn't The Sting, Sterling wasn't set up on a long con by a couple of charming rapscallions, he brought a scumbag, degenerate, gold digging dickgirl into his home and his bed and is now paying the price for associating with undesirables.

This private conversation going public is his own damn fault, stop it with this nonsense even insinuating that Sterling is the victim in this piece. The universe has a way of balancing the ledger over the long haul, and this fucking clown has had a reckoning coming for a long time and it's time to pay up.
Pooh and shortbus, don't even start. I don't care how much he makes on the sale of the team. This guy is going to die very rich, and also miserable and alone, hated by his wives, alienated from his children (the living ones anyway), with a legacy as a terrible husband, horrible father and one of the worst owners in sports history.
All of us reap what we sow ultimately, and actions have consequences even for the super rich.
i'm not a sterling apologist tonyb, he's obviously a terrible human being
my point is, this guy didn't break any laws that i'm aware of
it's a free market economy and he will definitely suffer from this, but it's a "slippery slope" when you force the divestiture of a billion dollar business just because the owner is an 80 year old racist who loves to fuck mulato trannys
V. Stiviano becoming even more unlikable than in her stilted-speech recording, which I thought was pretty hard to do.
Here she claims that she will becoming President of the United States:
She reminds me a lot of Tila Tequila, another self-promoting, attention-whoring "star" who should have never been famous.
Also, WTF is with that visor? Did she just get off from her job as a welder?
It must be REALLY hard for people to let go of this "consent" drama, didn't he acknowledge he knew he was being recorded? If that's the case why are you trying to find some sort of loophole for him?
Is it because you would never do something so blindly retarded? That's like being shocked at what fish do at poker but you're reluctant to take their money based off of it druff.
Well whatever bigot boy here as some call me.
But the old man just tells it how he feels. And his goldmining girlfriend tapes it all and rats him off. Of course after she has a house and Ferrari in her name.
So he gets banned, so what? He's got 2 billion dollars and what's 5 million there? 10 million here? Sh#t he can go out and get almost any woman he wants if he wants to. Heck even if his D#ck won't even stand up any more.
Hey some things are true like black people are the best athletes. Can dance and play music better than whites.
But black people on an average at Sterling feels are very stupid people. Unless you're one in a million like Kareen Abdul Jabbar who can excel at both as he proved in the game of Jepardy. Hey it's in their culture and in their genes sorry to say. But it's true.
But all men should be created equal but aren't.
With that I say ban him, get rid of him. He doesn't care and is too old to change.
And give me some cr#ppy rep for telling the truth about all this.

Crowe Diddly: nobpdy here calls, or called, you "bigot boy." Lots of other things, but never that.
Up yours Crowef#ck as they didn't use those exact words but said it as it came across loud and clear here.
Well, you are a bigot, that's not really in dispute, I was just referring to the specific "bigot boy" term you used.
I can start now, if you like, bigot boy. This will make your statement true retroactively.
HAH YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A BIGOT IS DUDE.Well, you are a bigot, that's not really in dispute, I was just referring to the specific "bigot boy" term you used.
I can start now, if you like, bigot boy. This will make your statement true retroactively.
