Maybe Buddy but I don’t think anyone thinks Sterling will get a fair vote from the NBA owners, they themselves will not go against being politically correct. If the courts looked at that and saw it as a kind of duress they were voting on, this case could go all kinds of directions.
Not being a lawyer myself, you still might have breach of contract rules at stake.
Sterling has announced at one point, the Clippers will NOT be for sale. I only saw the headline.
What’s fair? They’re business people, the vote will be based on serving the image and profitability of the league and their franchises. Their job isn’t to hold a trial and weigh evidence, their job is to protect the shield.
He did breach a contract rule, he conducted himself in a way detrimental to the league. That’s life as a franchise holder rather than an independent owner, it means there’s other people out there concerned with the health of the entire system not just your corner and they have the ability to revoke your hold.
