I used to sit and ponder how the people of Salem got to the point of “burning witches.” Now I know....
Private words can cause people to force you to divest of your property.
That’s not America.
Wait until Sterling starts discovery.
He is going to subpoena every private utterance of every owner in EVERY PROFESSIONAL SPORT and their immediate family members for the last 20 years.
It is going to be a blood bath.
I can’t wait.
I am also shocked by how this was such a rush to judgement.
This story hit the internet early Saturday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, the commissioner came out with his punishment.
In only three days, did the commissioner really have enough time to evaluate all angles of this situation? Did he really have enough time for the NBA attorneys to evaluate all of the possible legal liability issues involved, such as, were those tapes made illegally, were the tapes part of an extortion or blackmail plot which didn’t work out, who would benefit from secret tapes being made public, etc???
Or was the NBA commissioner simply eager to appease the liberals and the politically correct crowd and black players who threatened a boycott? I wonder if these millionaire black players would really have walked away from their multi million dollar jobs to protest this????
Did the commissioner want to be seen as being strong and politically correct at the same time?
Perhaps some sanction was in order. Losing the team seems like the death penalty for a minor transgression in my opinion. But I am also stunned at how quickly this decision came down.
Other high profile sports transgressions, such as suspensions of Steinbrenner, or the banning of Pete Rose, had penalties imposed after a long period of investigation of those situations. I question how deeply this commish dug into the details in only 3 days.
Follow along behind the rest of the sheep to the fleecing and keep your mouth shut or you’re toast. Whadda country!
In other words, we live in tyranny
OK, then. Anyone that hold any liberal view is never to be hired, befriended, or have any business conducted with them. Got it. Liberals want to play this game, let’s paly it.
Just pulling three names out of my hat, Henry Ford, Woodrow Wilson and Hillary Clinton,
“Although he (Ford) did not officially align with either political party, his prominence as a successful industrialist prompted Woodrow Wilson to convince him to run for Senate as a Democrat. He narrowly lost that race, and although he had copious support for a presidential bid in 1924, never ran for office again.”
Wilson was a vehement racist while Ford was a bitter anti-Semite. Yet the MSM allows the Democrats to preach to the rest of us on racial and religious tolerance and paint conservatives, i.e. anyone repelled by Democrats, as intolerant.
Infanticide proponent and drunken former first lady, killer Hillary Clinton: her criminal negligence caused the deaths of Americans at the Benghazi consulate, her fraud covered it up and yet seven months ago she received a `Liberty Medal’, presented to her by a purported front-runner for the presidency from the altogether too-loyal opposition party.
