Apparently Levenson doesn't want to go through what Donald Sterling went through. Time to sell his ownership stake and get out....

It’s a good way to increase your team’s value.

Maybe he wants to sell the team and an overinflated price ($2 billion) before the market crashes.

When the economy collapses, who will have the money to buy season tickets the an NBA game (or MLB, NFL, etc.)

With the "Great Recession going into it's 6th year, I'm surprised that professional sports hasn't already suffered.

Asking if the “white fans” might be afraid of the “black fans” is now “racist”? It sounds to me as though the “jelly beans” have fallen out of the bag.

From what I read of his email, he had some valid points.

White people need to offer themselves up for beatings by black thugs with love and gratitude in their hearts and a smile on their lips....

Free speech is a Constitutional right. The constitution does not however guarantee no consequences for said free speech.

After reading the email, it seems more like a frank analysis of his business and what must be done to increase the fan base. No doubt, whoever buys it must do the same thing.

Obviously, the timing is suspect. It is either blackmail or a shrewd businessman thinking this is a good time to sell.

I wouldn’t go see an NBA game if it were being played in my living room.
