I’d like to see Silver investigated. His power trip could cause more damage to the NBA than Sterling’s mouth. The man doesn’t have much of a history on the internet. I’m wondering if we’re seeing a bathhouse Adam getting warmed up for some real action.

The man was over the top giddy about the NBA player coming put of the closet.

I wonder if Silver wanted to show how tough he is, by imposing such a strong penalty. He’s relatively new in the job, even though he was a top assistant to Stern for many years.

I wonder if Silver feared the reaction, if he didn’t impose such strong penalties. The way political correctness works, and the way the media and liberals interpret things, a lighter penalty would have been perceived as an endorsement of Sterling’s comments.

Of course, discerning people such as you and I know that’s not the case, but if Silver had given Sterling a slap on the wrist penalty, you know that there would have howls of protest about racism and how racism needs to be punished and all that.
