Screw you. Let’s go after ALL ‘racist’ including non white ones
I think the players should be fined for all the times they said “whitey” or w—
Half the rappers around should be stripped of their assets.
I thought recording a conversation between parties without the other party’s knowledge was considered illegal. Am I missing something? Regardless of what you think of the individual and what was said, a private conversation and the opinions expressed are just that, private. Or am I deluded in my thinking and the court of public opinion has become judge, jury, and executioner for those charged with thought-crime.
Two wrongs never make a right. Dumb article.
What's wrong is letting someone or an organization, like the NBA, impose sanctions and penalties because those views run counter to their views. The NBA is not supposed to be the "thought police." This smacks of Big Brother in a very bad way.
Plus there is a double standard going on here. For instance, a fundamental Christian can't say a thing against homosexuals yet they can rail and protest over our standards on moral behavior and how they run contradictory to their views. The bottom line; Big Brother can have their say and no one can say anything against it, yet little brother cannot have his views for fear of retaliation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning the Clipper's owner's views or statements, but if he wants to have those views, let him. He'll soon discover the error of his ways, either in this life or the next. But no one should have the right to penalize someone because their views are not in line with theirs.
justified?
No, Sterling's behavior was known by industry and legal watchers for many years. This was no surprise to the LA community.
This is written by a professor of the Bible??? The reasoning is about as thin as the pages of the Good Book.
........look, the libs can say what they want to say, but fining someone $2.5 million dollars for “saying something” in the privacy of his own living room is bullshit!
Banning him from walking in a gym or managing his business is likewise unconstitutional.
If the NBA doesn’t watch out he will come after them with a good team of lawyers and win, BIG!!!
Their are many ways to “get back” at a person the masses don’t like that are constitutional. The players can just refuse to play, the fans can refuse to show up, the banks can refuse to loan him money and the list is probably endless. But, talking to someone in the privacy of your own living room IS protected by the constitution which makes everything the NBA is doing ILLEGAL.
One of my first questions would be is “IS that tape even admissible in court?” We wanted to tape someone in a child custody case out in California years ago and were told it was illegal so we didn’t do it. If it is not admissible, then there is no case at all.
Whether it was, for the love of the blacks, or, for the love of the queers, both are wrong.
