I guess 2 Billion is not good enough for the long nosed racist.

If he's been diagnosed with Alzheimers by a team of experts can anything he's said be used against him?

Could someone in the "loop" be charged with elder abuse?

If California has a Loser Pays law, Donald is going to have to write a big check.

Oh yes. And since he does have Alzheimer’s the NFL had better run along with all those who degraded and abused an incapacitated elder.

HUH? Now, now. LOL! I’m kinda likin’ it. He makes a HUGE bundle on the sale of the team and then thinks about suin’ the asshats that “forced” it’s sale. Too bad he’s too old to enjoy it. Maybe his halfrispanic gf will make off with some of it.

Saying things in a supposedly private conversation, which some declare to be racist, is not a crime. I hope he wins.

Agree or not with Donald’s views he was pursacuted for a “thought crime.” The NBA is likely to lose this one.

Excellent. Call every NBA player as a witness who has publicly shamed the NBA with profanity, racist and homophobic remarks.

Make them read transcripts in court of what they said as they trash talked each other.

Call Magic Johnson and put him on the stand, asking why he SHAMED the NBA with his behavior.

You forgot to mention the capital gains taxes he's going to have to pay on the sale.....likely in the neighborhood of $500 million......

As a professed conservative, surely you're not supportive of those are you?

And for what it's worth, who cares what a "long nosed racist" cares, thinks or says?

Since when have you signed on to the political correctness and started supporting the thought police in this country?

The NBA will be defunct by the end of the decade. Mark my words.

White, working and middle-class families are tuning out the game in droves. They're disgusted with the hip-hop culture that it permeates and the double-standards. Ballmer way overpaid for the Clippers.

I’ve worked for Ballmer’s old company. All I came away with after reading the synopsis was “Ballmer bets on another loser.”
