And that would have hurt sterling how?
And lose $20,000 or more per game? I wonder how long that boycott would last.
The story ain’t over. I smell a lawsuit against the NBA, TMZ and some of the other actors in this recording of a private conversation.
BFD.
I don’t doubt that these shorts-wearing millionaire thugs WOULD have walked.
It would have cost them millions in forfeited games and would set the entire NBA back to the level of professional wrestling, but hey. Whatever.
If they would have cut off their noses to spite their face - they would have.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
There was an opportunity for the players to take the moral high ground but they opted for drive-by threats.
Bull they are greedy, and who cares, if they never played another game I’d be thrilled.
What is the racial makeup of the NBA again?
Oh, that's right its about ability and not quotas.
Yawn. I’d get more excited about this if I hadn’t heard the statements that too many NBA players make about whites.
Can’t we all just get along?
I guess that would have mattered to some folks.
she was not even that good looking ..... he should have just flown to Thailand every other several months to get his needs addressed once in awhile . Another classic case of SRP (stupid rich people )
If I were Sterling I would take on a scorched earth policy and do whatever I could to tear down the team, the NBA, the sponsors, and the players. Such rank hypocrisy.
So what and who cares?
The NBA is a voluntary association of independent business owners. It has the right to establish speech and behavior codes since the actions of one can affect all. Yet this is still debatable if the imposition of politically correct standards in a culture is truly beneficial. Is it better to teach people to pose publicly and affect a posture, when their private thoughts and actions are radically different? Is not a culture much more dynamic and innovative when people freely and honestly express their opinions no matter how odious? Should students and teachers be punished for provocative statements and theories? If people are trained to remain silent, accept the thesis that the debate is over, it is now settled science or whatever,there can be no deniers, then not only will the culture come to a standstill, but it will begin to crumble.
I would have liked to see that. Too bad.
Thankfully, I quit watching the NBA long ago.
The guy’s got a right to be a racist, if that’s how his worldview works.
Look for this to land up in court.
