Well, if he owned a basketball team he’d probably be forced to sell it.
That being said, as a former real estate agent I learned the concept of “unenforceable clause”. You can sign a contract stating that if you miss a payment you give up your firstborn, but it’s unenforceable. I find it interesting that you can give up your first amendment rights or even be forced to sell because of a conversation you had that had the assumption of privacy. I suspect he could win in court if he fought it.
What was that called? Sex line mabye?
As far as Mr. Sterling goes, I keep hearing that he told the nba to shove their fine where the sun don’t shine. For me, I think he should sell the team to kim jung un from norf Korea. He seems to like b-ball and seems like a equality type guy. :>}
On one of those weird channels he had a show catching crooked home improvement contractors. You never know what’s real with those so called reality shows but he was great. Funny, sincere and it looked like he really enjoyed helping the people who got screwed by these thieves.
“I don’t want to be lying on my deathbed and realize gay marriage and legalization of marijuana is all I discussed the last half of my life.”
Well put.
By statute "Strict forclosure" agreements are unenforceable in real estate contracts in many states. The laws get passed as a form of consumer protection. Under general contract law you can contract away substantial portions of your rights to speech, especially when the parties or their representatives had a opportunity to "bargain" over the terms of the contract to the extent they can't say "I didn't know about that". This issue has been litigated over and over, especially in the contract areas of non-disclosure agreements, covenants not to compete, non-disparagement clauses, moral turptitude clauses and "conduct unbecoming" or "not in the best interests of" clauses - all of which mostly come up in employment or business realted contexts. All of these have been upheld when arrived at through negotiation and "eyes open" bargaining - so much so that they are generally (all other things being equal) a sufficient basis for a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction.
“Many people feel as though there are systemic disadvantages built into the system, and that it’s more difficult to get representation, in comedy or in politics, if you’re nonwhite. Do you think about privilege, as it’s commonly called?”
If there’s a list of the dumbest questions ever asked a comedian in an interview.........
His “Catch a Contractor” show on now is great.
Only issue I have is it is only 1/2 hr. long. It needs to be an hour so we can see what they do better and watch the culprits squirm a bit more.
He has the best jokes and put downs there it makes me laugh every time.
It is more than just a gay mafia we have a Gay Inquisition that will demand recantation for even having anti-gay thoughts or religious beliefs that regard homosexuality as sinful.
A man dies and goes to The Pearly Gates. He says to St. Peter, “Wow, these are really nice gates. Very beautiful!”.
St. Peter says “Thanks, they are quite nice. Of course, we had to go to Hell to get a contractor, but it was worth it.”
On his Contractor Show a few weeks ago they helped out a Gay Couple who got ripped off for $20,000 by a White Male Heterosexual.
Adam is just calling it like he sees it. It doesn’t make him a “Hater”, but they’ll try to pin it on him I’m sure.
The left has lost it. It is determined to wipe out anybody who thinks the ‘wrong’ way.
Typical lib interviewer. They think somehow there's this vast, conservative conspiracy to keep people who aren't white from succeeding. Which is why I guess Oprah only has about three billion clams.
