This story seems so screwed up

(1) Apparently actual discrimination against Black/Hispanic tenants is fine. But where the line is drawn is a secretly recorded argument with your gf. o_O

(2) Assuming the tape is legit. Apparently its okay for him to be seen with black people, just not okay for his gf

(3) Since she is 1/2 black how exactly does she avoid posting instagrams of black people? :hmm:

(4) The story makes it seem like his current gf, yet apparently his family is suing her o_O

Interesting, do you know where the rules that cover this are?



I can see plenty of situations where it would be in the NBA's best interest to truly punish him. It seems likely that the league can find other willing buyers for the team, so perhaps a forced sale is in order. My guess is that the owners won't want to set that sort of precedent for themselves, but there's certainly a case to be made it's in the league's best interests to do so.

The NBA's charter, as well as anti-trust laws, would prevent them for forcing him to sell or seizing the team. The worst they can do is suspend him.

I read there may be a provision in the charter that could allow the other owners to force him to sell. But, I also read the charter is secret so no one really knows that is in it. Either could be wrong. But that is what I read on ESPN.

I noticed on the local news this morning that Magic Johnson wants to buy the team. Isn't it odd how the supposed racist rant was over the mistress/girlfriend being friends with Magic Johnson/bringing him to games.

Could this be an elaborate scheme to allow Magic Johnson to buy the team?

You are so sad. You are defending a guy who hasn't even defended himself. It's 3 days later and he has yet to come out to say that recording wasn't him.

Yet, you come out to blame Magic Johnson and the ex-gf of hatching some scheme to allow Magic Johnson to buy the team. That of course makes more sense then the bitter ex-gf making a secret recording of a known racist.

Btw, what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? You have less evidence to make your claim again Magic Johnson, yet you still did. I guess Magic and this ex-gf don't deserve the same standard. I wonder why that is. Lol. You're pathetic.

You're outing yourself.

Guess reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I didn't blame anyone, I asked could it be possible.

The only one that pathetic is you. Between arguing for weeks when proven wrong to throwing the race card/accusing people of being racist at every given moment.

It is secret, but the word has always been that it would be matters of financial concern that would allow the forced sale, not something like this. I would be shocked if that weren't the case.

Edit: Found this.

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....imply-force-donald-sterling-to-sell-clippers/

Forcibly removing Sterling from the NBA is unlikely to happen. The NBA’s constitution, which is confidential, reportedly contains language permitting owners to authorize the league to sell a team without an owner’s consent. The language, SI.com is told, only covers very limited circumstances and these circumstances concern team finances — namely, when an owner can’t pay his bills.

There is reportedly no language authorizing the NBA to sell a team because of an owner’s hurtful remarks or embarrassing behavior. Even if constitutional language could be construed to authorize a forced sale of the Clippers, NBA owners would likely be reluctant to do so given the precedent it would set.

I told you, you keep outing yourself. Btw, Sterling has a black girlfriend, you know the same one who he said couldn't take pictures with other black people, you know the same one who probably made this recording. You might have missed that point.

Was this guy drunk or something? I heard the recording and he could barely put a sentence together.

Just stop.......

This man is an outright racist. You have focused all your energy on everything else, instead of what he said, which is the real heart of the matter.

I and everyone else who has read your posts since you dragged your carcass in here knows what you are.

Uuuuuh, you are aware of the thread you're posting in, right? Screwing a black girl doesn't somehow absolve you of any and all racism, if any is indeed present.

"Could it be possible?" That sounds eerily familiar.

When the tape has been authenticated and proven to be him, I will then call him a racist and fully expect sanctions against him to be imposed.

Just because you're married to someone of a different race doesn't mean you're not racist.

This is like "I have gay friends - therefore I'm not homophobic!"
