Wont that hurt the players salaries and not the Billionaire owner? No revenue = no salaries.

But I do remember a quote from Sterling saying, as soon as the team stops turning a profit, he will get out of the business, or some paraphrase. He won't dump his own money into it, for sport, he is a businessman. M2C.

Personally I don’t see the big deal about what he said. I wonder what you might hear out of Sharptons, Obamas, Clintons you name it anyone’s mouth when they are being recorded or being candid. I would hate to have my conversations on tape.

What about all the comments about conservatives or tea partiers or what about the Black Panthers saying to kill Crackers?

Sterling is a liberal degenerate and jackass, but he didn’t cause the loss.

The people who called for the boycott caused the loss.

Facts are facts.

No. Because they are under contract and it’s covered by the collective bargain agreement between the players and the league.

The only person this will hurt is Sterling.

Mayhap he could give Paula a ring, and get some advice. . .

It may not have been on tape but I sure heard about them.

But for years, State Farm, CarMax, Virgin America, Kia, etc, saw NOTHING WRONG with the hateful, ANTI-WHITE and mysogenistic rap music which is now deeply woven into the fabric of pro basketball and part of just about every player's daily life.

Just a question: Why don't Johnson, Barkley, Sharpton, Jackson, all the millionaire news people, including Hannity, pool their money and buy the old guy out. Then they could run the ball club as they see fit.

If they can't buy the old guy out, I am sure that the NBA would make an exception and create another fanchise for them.

Remember Magic and Isiah Thomas' on court kisses? Basketball was never the same after this, and I've not watched it since.

That’s how he got HIV. He was driving through Detroit, and blew a piston.

He’ll be able to show a lot of losses when he sues TMZ.

But when the racists in the democrat party falsely accuse Tea Party members of calling them ENN-WORD names or spitting on them in an attempt to incite riots or abet violence they are rewarded with more contributions.

Indeed, its a strange time in an even stranger world.

probably did serious injury to themselves to be the first out there to "disavow racism" or some equally stupid gimmicky thing.
Thanks, Obama, for raising race to the top of the priority list, and never mind little piddly stuff like unemployment, the ability to defend ourselves in the world or the regeneration of the Soviet Union.
