S"o does free speech mean that we must endure hateful speech in the public square?"

But Sterling's speech wasn't in the "public square". They were part of a private conversation.

Unfortunate being recorded by a gold digging whore who was probably promised millions if she got him to say racist things on tape which then mysteriously appeared in the hands of the super popular gossip media giant, TMZ, to work its magic for Magic...

If I were Sterling I would pay a PR firm to destroy the goldigger’s reputation so she’d never find work as a professional whore ever again...: )

By the reasoning in this article, which makes a lot of sense, I will exercise my right to have nothing to do with the NBA that is willing, even eager, to punish someone for what they say in their own home.

I wonder if this incident might make billionaire potential and current NBA owners very nervous about what would happen if someone wanted to buy their team.
