As far as the price of the Clippers? I stated this on a previous thread: it's not unusual for a guy with a mid-life crisis to spend 10% (or more) of his life savings to get his favorite toy.
And meanwhile, the Sterlings can have some lawsuit fun with the NBA and others involved, if they want. And the owners won't have to worry about the repurcussions of a vote and a fear of someone going after their teams for the crime of being imperfect.
It didn't end well for anyone.
First, Wells impugned the Morlocks, they were the industrious workers who provided the lazy multi-multi-multigenerational Eloi with their every need; food, clothing and shelter.
Wells glorified the Eloi who wouldn't lift a finger to save one of their own from drowning, had absolutely no curiosity about anything, not even where their food came from (someone's stash maybe?) but happened to be pretty by his standards.
Then Wells had the Time Traveler break the Eloi's rice bowl!
The Morlocks were burned in their underground factories. The Eloi lost their only means of sustenance, and I'm pretty sure the Time Traveler got lynched for starving them out of house and home while trying to get across the concept of working to survive!
I wonder if Ballmer is getting bailed out in part by others to avoid the major lawsuits that would come if Magic Johnson, the guy who first showed up with an offer for the team and was in the pictures with the mistress that she tweeted and provoked Sugar Daddy Sterling with, wouldn’t get the team.
