I’ve only been sort of following this, so please correct me if I’m off base (wrong sport, right?)
This is the guy who made a “racist slur”, owns a sports team (basketball?) and as a result of that slur, was banned for life from the Great Sports Gods, was then declared mentally incompetent, and then his estate sold his team? And all this happened in the space of about 2 months?
Does anyone else see a problem here? My problem screams in Russian and German accents. My kids already think I’m bat-$hit crazy, but I don’t have anything worth jack. But still....this is happening in America, right? Oh, wait, this is Obama’s America (I include him because his administration and PC are making everything racist! I have to call my red tomatoes “tomatoes” now, lest I offend anything or person who is red.
Again, please correct me if I have the basics of this case wrong. And now I will do my reading. And then I’ll probably be back, even more pissed. With art!
Doc Rivers and Chris Paul were making statements, etc.
I don’t think anybody actually declared him incompetent. Part of the oddness with Sterling though is he tends to work both sides of a deal. There is paperwork saying he had given control of the trust to Shelly so that she could sell the team. And there’s also paperwork saying he had no intention of selling the team. So in this instance it looks like the sell the team paperwork won, and now he gets a billion dollars.
