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 hoping he does. He’s not the only nasty person running in these circles.
Sterling has enough money that, if he chooses to, he can hire an army of private investigators. They can search for people willing to talk about politically-incorrect statements made in private by prominent sports celebrities. And it doesn’t have to be just racist statements, it could be homophobic, antisemitic, anti-just-about-anything.
It would be fun to have him prove the ridiculous double-standard.
Me thinks there will be a negotiated settlement to prevent all that...altho I would like to see it happen...The Elitists are the likely the biggest culprits
I hope he lives long enough to do it.
He will fight the ex-girlfriend who clearly set him up, taking a picture with Magic Johnson and a girl doing gang signs before posting it on Instagram. Your mistress sets you up as a racist. And coincidentally, the guy in the photo she posted is one of the first to say “Hi, I’ve got backers for a billion dollars, I want to buy your team”. He’ll fight the conspiracy to steal the team from him.
The NBA won’t criticize Jay-Z wearing 5% nation medallions, players who father dozens of kids, but a guy who utters non-PC statements in private (to his black girlfriend, no less), that is the basis for being banned. Yet his legal losses for actual discrimination a half decade ago lead to nothing. Or, rather, his NAACP donations were sufficient penance.
He’s going to fight because it is a billion dollars, he has nothing else to do for the rest of his life, for injured pride of his black mistress’ betrayal, the hypocrisy of the NBA and the conspiracy by Magic Johnson to take the team.
I think the same thing. Liberals are always ignorant of The Law Of Unintended Consequences. There are numerous NBA affiliated people who have made racist statements or done racist things. Spike Lee and Jay-Z for example. Think the NBA will ban them? Not bloody likely. But prime fodder for a lawsuit by an aggrieved party.
