Would he be banned if he had raped someone tbh?
Basketball Reasons
Sons Sterling flat out denied and deflected on any past behavior issues. In fact, he flat out said it wasn't even in consideration. He had to say that because he knows the legal ramifications on if he said he did take it into consideration considering everyone buried their heads.
The fact he mentioned sponsors in such an important public stance shows what it's all about.
boom truth nuke
"sponsors" "plead to the owners"
I'd be pissed at the co-worker for taking a private statement and making it public, but that wouldn't make the statement any less public, or make me any less accountable for it.
So it's ok then for let's say, the government to tap any and all citizens and post the findings online or sell it to papers? , we could eliminate national debt with that strategy. I am a got damn genius.
i hope sterling counter sues....
this is bs to start with anyway...
seems like this was all masterminded to get rid of him...
That's the issue to me. This isn't the first "smoking gun". I don't necessarily agree with the methods, but it's out there and they had to deal with it. However, there have been plenty of opportunities for the NBA, players, coaches and sponsors to take a stand and instead Doc knowingly signs with them and the NAACP gives him a life time achievement award.
It's damn telling that during what should have been a monumental moment and defining stance from the NBA they pleaded for their sponsors. Can you imagine if during MLK's speech he would have said: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, but I would like to ask that our sponsors don't abandon us if things get tough"?
It's also really ironic that these intellectually dishonest people expand this NBA globally into parts of the world even more racist than USA. Can you imagine if NBA fans threw banana's at players on the court like they still do in Europe at Soccer matches? But no, NBA won't dare speak up on that when they are trying to tap into that money pool either.
You knew about this and yet continued to support the team
Apples and oranges. We aren't talking about the Bill of Rights here, or the question of whether releasing private information to the public is ethical.
We are talking about what happens if something that is said behind closed doors finds its way out into the open. Regardless of the way that occurs, it doesn't make the original sentiment any less substantial. Public opinion is what it is; once the news is out, there is no pulling it back in. Ask Beyonce.
I'm not saying it's right in every situation, but if you are going to say something that can somehow be forwarded along (i.e. word of mouth, recording, writing, etc.) then you have to be prepared to be accountable for it, otherwise it's probably best not said. These days, it's incredibly difficult to know when you are not being monitored, and it is incredibly easy to make news travel fast.

Corrupt world is corrupt my friend. I heard the Donald Sterling recording completely. He mentioned something that you have no choice but to live in a culture you really can't control.
In some instances, I believe these types of issues are to distract you from the real issues. Your current rights individually as a single en y.

does the bill of rights say anything an individual cant be a racists?
i dont know how its racists when its telling the truth about the stereotype of ethnic races....either those races get with the times improve themselves or continue to be look down upon
Why are spur fans suddenly believing Silver will lead them to the promise land? He's a jew, just like Stern.
so whats the difference between him saying it, compared to the state last year that introduce laws businesses can decline services to ethnic minorities? i think it was arizona?
He can bankroll Jerry down there too tbh
I get it's not apples to apples, was just trying to make a point. Most work for someone and it's not ok to record private convos and release them for money. I don't care who's doing it, government or private person, it's not right. But that's not the point. The point is that there have been plenty of reports out about this. He has said these things, been on record & no one did anything about it. If this was shocking news, I could see the outrage. But when these morally bankrupt people profit of this man knowingly, it rings pretty damn hollow.
Doesn't change the fact he should be gone and just because they didn't do anything before doesn't mean they shouldn't do something now, but just making a point.
I agree that the NBA probably could have acted swifter, if they are going to claim to be so gung-ho about it now. Silver came out like he was trying to sling the guns earlier, but when asked about past transgressions, there was nothing but awkward silence after he admitted that they'd known about it for a while.
The thing is, you can't generalize any race completely. This is why stereotypes need to be overlooked. In terms of positive influence and positive lifestyle, there are various African Americans who are intelligent and destroy these stereotypes but never emphasized in the media for their accomplishments. Especially at historical black colleges. I'm a fan of science and one of my favorite Scientist besides Michio Kaku is Neil deGrasse Tyson who0 is one of my favorite people that meet my standards. There are some of my professors who have earned their doctorates and don't live the cliche lifestyle that is thrown in your face by music industry artists and athletes. The media isn't going to tell you "so and so" is an intelligent person within a racial minority, you're going to have to do that yourself. Good luck with trying to do that.
LOL i thought america is the land of the free, u can say whatever you want....
apparently Sterling will fight this. I'm sure he's got enough dirt on stern, NBA and owners that this might get very interesting....
he can't fight ..it's over..once the owners Vote the team belongs to Silver....The Sterling Cuck is gone
States are autonomous, not franchises of the federal government.
Randomly capitalizing Words for no Discernible reason is an Indication of lack of proper Education.
i Don'T disAgree
