I do think it is ridiculous that a mob of union thugs who run around in shorts are trying to tell a business owner that he cannot own his own business. Or his wife. Or his kids.
Talk about a thugocracy.
THUGS IN SHORTS should be banned from the NBA.
At least he didn’t call him uppity.
0bama’s flippant remarks about Donald Sterling will serve to make 0bama look weak in the eyes of the world. 0bama said that Assad of Syria must go. 0bama says Donald Sterling must go. Putin, North Korea, and the Chinese probably cannot believe how lucky they are to have 0bama in the White House. America’s allies must be making alternate plans.
When Reagan fired the air traffic controllers early in his first term the Soviets sat up an noticed it, even though the air traffic controller strike was not an international incident.
The guy has a history of this....it never bothered anyone before...To take away his whole life for something he said??
I almost agree. The more I hear about him, the more Sterling looks like a piece of cr*p. But the punishment imposed upon him is totally out of line, and a terrible precedent, even though his behavior almost deserves it.
I don’t much care about him, but I do care about the precedent this totally unjust punishment will set for our country.
Sterling is not going to be able to win this case as he has major forces working against him.
The NBA players will not play for or against the Clippers.
Advertisers will not pay for commercials during Clippers’ games.
Sterling is not exactly a full owner of the Clippers as he is simply a owner of a franchise.
His position is akin to an owner of a Popeye’s Fried Chicken franchise saying that he did not want them showing up up his Popeye’s with black folks.
A franchise owner does not have complete control over his business.
He may be a jerk.....but I say, “Go, Donald, Go!”
I hope he does take it to the USSC, and wins!
You should be able to say whatever you want in your own home without paying fines or losing property.
Saw this guys Anderson Cooper interview. Freeper’s should not hitch their wagon to this guy. I think maybe his wife has more credibility for continuing as owner. This guy is senile.
He should have just called him ‘fabulous’, and left it at that.
I’m starting to favor Donald, kind of. He is right - no one can make him sell his business. He is right - I think his ho set him up. He is right - you cannot fine someone 2.5M for saying something you don’t agree with.
I didn’t say I LIKE him. I didn’t say he is a savory character. Just, Justice is blind.
Those are shorts??? I could have sworn NBA uniforms were skirts. Always wondered why they wanted to play in drag.
This is the most crucial and important news story affecting our nation today with the potential for impacting everyone in the country.
It’s a good thing that the media is covering it 24/7 and takes other distractions like the economy, foreign policy and Justin Beeber off the front page. Taxes, government and MTV will take care of those things by themselves.
