I have a question: If Sterling is found incompetent, does that invalidate the NBA's punishment of him? In essence, he wouldn't be responsible for his actions?

No, if he has dementia, that will not help him keep the team.

I don’t really care about professional sports, and I had never even heard of this man before the leaked phone call comments were in the news, but a thought has occurred to me regarding private property and the progressive agenda.

Stirling is told that he can’t keep his team, and then the owner of the Redskins football team is stripped of his copyright. I have no knowledge of the law, but I suspect that this is just the beginning of a widespread push to redefine private property. They started with these rich white guys because there are probably people who are envious of their wealth and, therefore, don’t see a problem with this.

Next step, some more prominent white guys are deprived of their private property based upon some contrived offense. Eventually, the public is taught that the concept of private property is evil and so unfair. And the progressives’ propaganda ministry, also known as the media, will do its part in this educational program. The media and political elite, of course, will have their private property untouched, comrade.

I don't think it matters. What does happen if Sterling loses this court hearing is that his wife takes control of the family trust and sells the team to Ballmer. When she does that then Silver's ban is pretty much moot; Sterling isn't an owner anymore. As part of the deal, Sterling's wife had to agree to indemnify the league from any legal actions by any member of the family. So looney or not, Sterling can continue his suit against the league and if he wins then his wife is on the hood for the whole billion. And the way he's going he's going to lose the competency hearing.
