    Atlanta Hawks Owner To Sell Team After Discovery Of Racist Email

    Bruce Levenson, the owner of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks, will sell his controlling stake in the team after the discovery of a racist email he sent in 2012, NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced in a statement Sunday. The specific content of the email is not known but Levenson’s comments were apparently disparaging toward African Americans.

    Levenson self-reported the email and the NBA was investigating the situation, but Levenson has already told Silver he will sell the team,

    At one point, Levenson says specifically that his “theory is that the black crowd scared away the whites,” but Levenson paints the problem as a result of the racism of “southern whites,” not his own:

    Sterling laughed all the way to the bank IMHO.

    No way that team, or any NBA team, was worth $2 billion.

    A team isn't worth what you think they are, or what I think they are, or what ANYONE thinks they are. It's like real estate: what will someone pay for it?

    Except you said they weren't worth $2B, and they are, because that's what they sold for.
