Overplaying their hand.

I’d be, “Sure. Next time we here the word ‘nigger’ in any context, from any person, that person is banned for life. We will fine him or her $2.5M. We will demand email and social media account passwords such that we can determine whether there has been any bigotry in the past.

Furthermore, any utterance that can be construed by any person to be offensive on the basis of creed, color, orientation, or handicap, and you are banned for life, and fined $2.5M.

For example, ‘cracker’, ‘hymietown’, ‘fag’, or ‘kike’ would be grounds for immediate ban and $2.5M - no appeal. That. Is. It.

One black man calling another ‘nigger’, and the other doesn’t turn the first one in, and someone else witnesses it and turns them both in? Both are banned. One for saying it, and the other for condoning it.

We ‘down with that’, or you want to take a moment of pause and consider we just took a half billion dollars of someone’s personal holdings, and $2.5M cash, not for committing a crime, but as a result of using the proceeds of a crime to document his bigotry in public?”

You want color-blind, this is it.

RE: Players can say and think anything they want but owners have to be controlled,

Legendary coach Bobby Knight once asked a referee, “Can you give me a technical for what I think?”

When the ref responded “No”,

Coach Knight said, “Well I think you suck”.....

( I don’t remember if he got a technical :)

RE: What a witch hunt. If they burn him at the stake it still won’t make the witch hunters happy. The accusation is worse than the thought crime which, as private speech, is still a first ammendment right - so far.

All the leftist race baiting whores have played the race card so much they have worn the tits off the queen. They could take all white people and put them on ships to Africa to be slaves and that wouldn’t even be enough to shut these people up.

NAACP: Sterling sanctions don’t go far enough:

Perhaps a military court martial sentence might appease the NAACP:

Forfeiture of all pay and allowances for 8 months, and to be hung by the neck until dead at Ft. Leavenworth Kansas, on Christmas Eve 2014. -Tom

Is the NAACP still willing to cash his checks?

(They’d be willing to cash David Duke’s checks.)

What does the NAALCP want? The NBA to cut out the tongues of all white folk?

For starters.

So what about the racist Jay-Z, a part owner of the Nets?

LOL, I think I heard you...

I am sure you did. In reference to your other statement. It WILL end alright. It just won't end well.

I tell ya what NAACP. Let's make sure that all the rest of the employees (players, owners, etc.) of the NBA be subject to the same moral standard. Establish the same level of penalty applied to Sterling, and I think we may be able to talk.

I'm all for purging the thugs out of sports.

Let me see if I understand this. Latrell (Latrine) Sprewell tried to choke his coach to death and he’s suspended for 68 games. Ron Artest (now ironically named Metta World Peace) starts a fight with fans in the stands that becomes a major, all-encompassing brawl (The Malice at the Palace) and he gets 73 games plus playoffs. Donald Sterling says some offensive things and he’s banned for life from “any association” with his team (the Clippers) or the NBA. (Can he still watch the game on TV? Wear the team sweatshirt?) Are these screwed-up priorities or what?

The Donald Sterling situation is a distraction by the partisan “mainstream” media to try to rile up minorities and further divide the country for the political benefit of Democrats, who know that as of now, they would most likely lose the Senate. The irony is that Sterling has made just about all of his political contributions to Democrats.

Wife Of L.A. Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Sues His Mistress For Millions ‎4‎/‎28‎/‎2014‎ ‎9‎:‎24‎:‎39‎ ‎AM · 38 of 80 Cats Pajamas to sickoflibs I think I know why that codger needs a little hot pepper sauce. He’s eighty and fears death. I heard that in a Cher movie, hahahahaha. Irrelevance to some is death. If he doesn’t have a problem with her scr**ing whom she likes then why oh why does he have a problem with her bringing them to a game. He fears how he is perceived by others that is the worst part of him. My husband and I have this argument over and over. Why does a man need more than one woman. He fears death. And to many, men and women, irrelevance is death in a form. So go ahead and let loose on me with the flamethrowers. Post Reply | Private Reply | To 34 | View Replies

Yes, I think you’re right about that.

The other side is not content to let us live in peace. They will continue to push, until it is Lexington/Concord all over again. I hope it does not happen, but once that Pandora's box is open, it will take on a life all it's own. I don't look forward to that, and I REALLY hope it does not happen, but I see it coming.

Why does a man need more than one woman

I think a lot of men don't, but a lot of them do. I always thought it was the sexual desire thing, but I don't know what most of them think. I never thought it was a fear of death, but I just don't know for sure.

I wasn’t aware he was still married.

Sounds like a bad guy just based on that. There’s the real scandal.

I don’t think that’s an unreasonable assumption.
