But this whole thing wasn’t started because of his disability. It was started because of his racism, and the punishment was him being forced to sell.
Granted, should could still get control, and apparently has now, but the NBA should not be able to force her to sell, due to his disability..obviously he was not of sound mind. Giving her ownership is one thing, forcing her to sell because she has a disabled husband is another entirely different thing, it seems to me, at least.
But he wasn't forced to sell. The other league owners never voted to strip Sterling of his team. The league may have facilitated finding some one stupid enough to pay $2 billion, but this was negotiated by Shelly Sterling on her own.

Force her to sell? I wish someone would force me to sell a piece of property for three times it's real value. Shelly Sterling is making out like a bandit on this. She's at least half of $2 billion richer.
It started because he earned himself a big fat pile of bad press. A lot of which focused on the fact that BOTH Sterlings have a long history of racial issues. Focus was always on Donald, but Shelly’s action have actually been the ones that cost them in a couple of lawsuits. And that bad press was damaging the value of the league. But they were never forced to sell, she reached an agreement with Balmer before the next owners meeting. They might have been forced to sell, but it never got that far.
