I agree it would be his problem,but he might be rich enough and mean enough not to care.

He is part of an organization...not like an completely independent business man . If the NBA had allowed him to stay with his views, it would hurt the entire brand. Why don’t you learn to debate without calling someone nuts for a reasonable view? So many conservatives here really lack debating skills and use bombastic terms to make up for that lack.
I didn’t call “someone” nuts, I said “anyone”. It was not intended to be personal. However, if the shoe fits, as they say... I’m not interested in debating this foolishness and that’s all it is, foolishness. With all the real crises in our nation today this is the most important topic people can choose to argue over?
If the NBA had allowed him to stay with his views, it would hurt the entire brand.
...come now...if every sports league that ever existed decided to eject every miscreant owner that has ever sullied that league’s good name, a revolving door would be necessary...many owners have run their teams into the ground with lousy management, thus creating a perception and financial drain on the league, and none have been subjected to public humiliation over it...
...face it...this situation arises purely from the ox who’s getting gored being a favorite ox of the social elite caste...or do you suppose that some black owner suggesting, in the privacy of his own home, whites be kept from attending his arena would be similarly reviled in the public eye...?
...if so, you would be supposing incorrectly...
You know..I hear right wing commentators such as the dimwit Jesse Peterson complain that their is hypocracy here for various reasons..or this is feeding into the Jesse. Jackson types. Well, I don’t think that is avoidable, but totally off the point that that man holds racist views against his own team members and racism is a lot different than mismanagment for heaven sakes!
Oh, now you are not interested. Ok. You were interested enough to comment, but not now...whatever. And you really did call me nuts because obviously my opinion is that the NBA did the right thing. Now you are trying to back away from that that you insinuated at me. It is fine, I was not offended at all...I just think you are wrong.
How else can we really make an example of a racist billionaire fat cat for exercising his First Amendment right to say stupid and repugnant things in a private conversation with his trollopy mistress?
Well, there's always burning alive. And you could sauce it up by hanging him in chains, and then setting fire to him while he's still kicking. That would be phun. Morally edifying, too. Even Rush would be impressed by what awaits him.
<Do I really need a tag?>
OK, fine. You want me to admit I’m interested, sure I am, interested in how people can be so easily side-tracked from matters of real importance to something that shouldn’t rate a page 3 mention in the National Enquirer. If you wish to take it as personal thats up to you. You seem a little thin-skinned to me. (30)
How many people died because of Mr. Sterlings bigoted comments?
How many people died because of Mr. Sharptons bigoted comments? (Think Freddie's Fashion Mart in New York)
Final score:
Sterling 0
Sharpton 7
not at all...and I do agree, it matters very little in reality...we have world war 3 about to be launched.
