He doesn't own a business. He owns a franchise. The NBA is a business. Imagine a McDonald's franchise owner. He is required to do certain things or his franchise will be taken away.
Think about sports franchises. They are part of a business that can suspend their players or even ban them for infractions. Sterling bought in as a partner. If you are a partner in a law firm and your actions are causing a loss in business don't the other partners have the right to force you out?
If he wants to take his franchise and strike out on his own then let him do it. He bought it.
Yeah, I do see what you mean, it just does not fit with the notion of freedom....The rights of an association are not absolute nor do they overrule an individual’s freedom.
My hope is Sterling drags this out in court long enough for society to see this as nothing more than a lynch mob/kangaroo court mentality. Two days of media fomenting and “civil rights” activists griping is enough to take away a man’s achievements??? Give me a break.
I just read post 27, a seemingly reasonable legal case for Stirling to resist Adam Silver’s action.
