In other words, Silver’s peremptory power is limited to Sterling’s suspension from the NBA and a fine of $2.5 million. It does not extend to booting him from ownership of his team.

I'm confused. In what way other than by owning a team is he "in the NBA"? Also, didn't it say fines were limited to $1MM?

Now, since the league sets the schedules, I guess they could just not schedule any games between any other teams and his, but saying they can strip him of ownership of a tangible asses without compensation just by saying so seems a little farfetched.

This says a whole lot more about the politically correct minions in the country then it does about this guy. First of all, if the tape was produced illegally he could sue the gf, the media who propagated it, and maybe even the news outlets who used it. If that is true then it should not be able to be used as evidence in any legal proceding. I know a judge in LA would rule to ignore hundreds of years of precedent to play “Get the Raciss”, but it may come down to a jury decision years from now when the hype is long over!
