If someone was banned because of fighting in another arena, that I could see.
But banned for being a racist?
What next, banned for adultery, drinking, smoking, being a supposed “anti-Muslim”, banned for being an ex-con?
What next?
Ultimately it has to be this way. People have to feel the pain of their actions in order to learn from them. They refuse to think, so pain is the ultimate teacher.
I don’t mean Sterling and the NBA. I mean society. It has to have the PC police run riot and destroy it all. It has devolved into a hive mind mob because liberals took critical thinking and logic off the educational table in no small part in accordance with the 1963 communist goals.
It sucks for the people that do think before they act. It isn’t ‘fair’ or ‘just’ or anything like that. But it is the world we live in. And it will soon eat itself, then stand there looking for someone other than itself to blame.
Banned for being a low bar racist. Low Bar Racism is one of the highest sins in Secular society. However, from a christian standpoint, Sterlings words and actions barely raise to the level of a sin as in our personal lives we are able to freely choose who we associate or dont’ associate with.
Consequently, its a sin against the State, society or our secularist culture. But it doesnt meet the bar for a personal sin against God, ignoring the tawdry affair he’s involved with outside of his marriage.
He’s an asshole and he’s being shown the door. No different than a bouncer at a nightclub. He has the right to say whatever he wants, but people he does business with have the right to no longer want to associate themselves with him.
