Isn’t an NBA game a little different than a private business, though...especially if public money helped build the arena?
If he wants to buy a ticket, isn’t his money as good as anyone else’s. Yes, some people do get banned from arenas...but it due to bad behavior in the actual arena. This is different.
I’d love for Sterling to push the issue.
The team is leasing the building during the game and can set attendance limits accordingly. The same laws that let them set ticket prices let them ban people. It’s their event and for management purposes it’s their venue during the event.
