He’s being nailed for the commercial effects of having voiced his thoughts in such a way that he has harmed his fellow Owners. Do you not believe the owners have the right to form an association that gives them recourse for such damage?

Only if it's explicitly spelled out in the agreement to which they and Sterling agreed. Absent such an agreement, he has a First Amendment right to be a screaming racist.

Absent such an agreement, it should be payday for the trial lawyers!

And, I, who am not a basketball fan, shall thereby gain a windfall of free entertainment. Popcorn time!

Right, and that’s why the NBA released their Constitution and bylaws to the public and I quoted them earlier in this thread. The owners would be basing their actions on the explicit language therein, just as the commissioner has.
