I posted the money quote, but feel free to read the rest.
However, the writer says the usual leftist PC crap about Levenson's comments being reprehensible ignorant, racially insensitive, when in fact Levenson was just expressing concerns from a business standpoint.

I wondered too why he’d self report, esp knowing the hypocritical phony “outrage” at what seemed to be pretty tame remarks.
He saw what Sterling got and said, hey I want some of that!

He wanted all the free publicity that was given the last time.
He thought it would drive the price up.

I saw how much Sterling got for his ‘fire sale’.

Pretty soon we’re going to be seeing a bunch of owners writing racist emails to try to cash in.

First thing I thought when I heard about this was that he saw the 2 billion dollar payment for the Clippers and wanted some of that action. Without all the racial controversy, there would be no attempt by Steve Ballmer to bribe Sterling to give up the team, so no one would have paid 2 billion for the Clippers.

Sterling has his PI’s digging up cr@p about each and every owner in basketball(and it will soon spread to the other sports..goodbye Jerry Jones, Jim Haslam etc). There will be a whole bunch of professional sports franchises available and Levenson’s move is brilliant.....there are not a lot of overpaying billionaires out there and he needs to line up his token schmuck so he can cash out while it is a seller's market.

The Hawks are uninteresting to 84% of the greater Atlanta metro population. They are barely covered in the 10 o’clock local news.
As a long time Atlanta area resident I can tell you the franchise is far from what it used to be.

Second Jew forced to sell for something that had nothing to do with his running his team.
Political correctness, or Antisemitism?
ADL should investigate. AA hate Jews more than any other group, and it seems AA want to take over teams owned by Jews.

Exactly. Instead of “blacks” what if he was talking about white rednecks?

However, the writer says the usual leftist PC crap about Levenson's comments being reprehensible ignorant, racially insensitive, when in fact Levenson was just expressing concerns from a business standpoint. But if his quotes are racist, reprehensible and ignorant then maybe the other NBA owners will help him find a buyer willing to pay $2 billion for his team, too.

Please note that using this scam he didn’t have to petition and bribe the other owners and league to get the sale moving. Saved millions in bribe and lawyer money by going straight for the forced sale. Probably laughing at the other owners and league all the way to the bank.
