Press conference about a punishment for racism against African-American and NBA TV has two white guys talking on set.

Subtle

[Ricky Davis]

I'm honestly not sure why anyone would be surprised that a jew is racist...look at Israel it's basically an apartheid state. , look at the way they use blacks and minorities here in the US through the democrat party. Bribing them with a few cheap benefits in exchange for their vote and political power.

Jews using black people??? Where have we seen this before?

[smaka]

So poll question time... Which punishment would hurt more between the two?

- Monetary fine + Sterling sells the Clips at a massive discount
- Silver lets Sterling off the hook but declares all the Clipper players and staff as free agents

Would never happen imo.

[Malik Hairston]

5 million is a pretty massive fine, isn't it?..I understand he's worth over a billion, but from an NBA standpoint, 5 million is a huge fine..

There was/is no chance Sterling would have to sell the team, tbh, it just wouldn't happen..as Mark Cuban said, that would cause a large dilemma for the NBA and it would lead to years of legal problems IMO..

[Captivus]

5 million is a pretty massive fine, isn't it?..

The problem with that is that "racism has a price".

known basher Chris Broussard being outraged on ESPN

[Malik Hairston]

Well, the counter to that is:

- He was illegally taped, he didn't publicly express his views
- All the Uncle Toms involved with the Clippers already knew his racist views and chose to sign with them anyways
- Plenty of people involved in sports have done things that are just as bad, or worse, and are allowed to continue being part of their sport

Adam Silver is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unconvincing

[RD2191]

Dude is nervous of ! Rofl voice is trembling.

[smaka]

No charisma

[Mugen]

Did he say lifetime ban?

[baseline bum]

Lifetime ban, $2.5 million fine

[TE]

Lololol Silver is trying too hard tbh

[Malik Hairston]

Stern would have handled this smoothly, obviously, he lives for this ..

Stern didn't even fine Charlie Ward for slandering Jews, though, so I wonder how he would have dealt with this..

[smaka]

Forcing the sale of the team..

[BatManu20]

[Venti Quattro]

Permanent ban on Sterling plus $2.5 million plus Silver will force the NBA Board to force Sterling to sell. DAMN

[baseline bum]

Silver urging board of directors to force Tokowitz to sell

[Captivus]

[Malik Hairston]

Wow, I'm not watching, is he really getting a lifetime ban?..

[313]

Well, the counter to that is:

- He was illegally taped, he didn't publicly express his views
- All the Uncle Toms involved with the Clippers already knew his racist views and chose to sign with them anyways
- Plenty of people involved in sports have done things that are just as bad, or worse, and are allowed to continue being part of their sport

Silver disagrees

[RD2191]

Silver going in raw!

[Spurs da champs]

Wow, Seattle Supersonics return?
