Why What The NBA Did Was Right And What Mozilla Did Was Wrong

I am thinking the same thing, it’s long past time to start going into the black churches these black proponents go to and start recording the black power, black racist rants that happen there nearly every service and then capture these black racists on tape responding positively to it in the service then blast the evidence of the TRUE racists and TRUE racism across the world via the internet.

Yea, we can send infiltrators in disguised as one of them.

Banning him from walking in a gym or managing his business is likewise unconstitutional.

A private enterprise can - and should - be able to do just about anything they want. The Constitution doesn't really apply, as that's a check on government, not private enterprise. At some point, as a condition of owning a league franchise, Sterling voluntarily placed himself under the league commissioner's authority and (most likely) has agreements in place to not engage in behavior that will put the league in a negative light.

Whether it was, for the love of the blacks, or, for the love of the queers, both are wrong.

Thanks for your post.

With all due respect, and granting that the NBA probably has some words in a writing that creates obligations on Sterling not to say bad things about folks. That’s the point. The man was talking to someone in his own living room and she taped him saying this. He did not broadcast it on Serius Satellite. Further, I “think she committed a crime recording the conversation. If I’m correct, the tape can never be admitted into evidence and there will be a summary judgment against the NBA because without the tape they’ve got nothing.

The gold digging tramp that recorded the conversation was clearly laying a predicate for blackmailing him too, also illegal.

Now, I am no lawyer but this is what I think.

Please see my response to this just sent to Kevkrom.

Thanks.

Setting all the same tired old racist BS arguments aside, there is no question the NBA is trying to put this man out of business for having the temerity to say what he thinks IN HIS OWN LIVING ROOM. That some find what he said upsetting doesn’t matter.

Everybody watch out, this boogeyman man can someday destroy you for something you say that liberals don’t like too.

The first Ammendment is suppose to guarantee you can say ANYTHING in your own house privately to others no matter how vile or ugly. Publicly is different. Yelling FIRE in a theater is one exception and so on.

Yelling FIRE in a theater is one exception

And breach of contract (e.g. casting the sport in a bad light after agreeing not to do so as a condition of team ownership in the NBA) is another.
