Clippers: Tokowitz not paying the fine

[whitemamba]

In curious, what's this have to do with the cons ution (unless you are taking about the NBA cons ution)

Little mixture of both. Americas cons ution over rules everything else in America, but I was referring tl
the NBA's yes.

What about arguing, as it seems Sterling will, that Adam Silver did not have the authority to impose this fine? Under the NBA Cons ution, that argument is very difficult because Article 24(l) gives Silver “the authority to fix such penalty as in the Commissioner’s judgment shall be in the best interests of the Association.” Such a penalty may include “a fine, suspension, and/or the forfeiture or assignment of draft choices. No monetary penalty fixed under this provision shall exceed $2,500,000.”


The penalty imposed by Silver is of course within these guidelines, so Sterling really has no argument that Silver could not determine or levy this fine because his agreement to the NBA Cons ution empowered Silver to do so.

I don't know what that has to do with this thread.

You Spurs and Lakers fans talk about how you own a million championships yet you at me for being happy and content with 1 by my Mavs. I don't get it.

Anyways, I hope Sterling drags it out as long as he can.

He signed numerous moral and ethical contracts with the league over the years that he breached with the tape and with the CNN interview (which is admissible in court).... he also violated the terms about "conduct detrimental to the league," AND not paying the fine in and of itself is a violation.... I understand you're scared as of Fredo competing with new owners who actually care about winning, but please try to keep up

I've got no idea where all of the "moral and ethical contracts" came from. They never said he had signed those until after a certain date, and then after that every single article referencing them used the exact same phrasing. (meaning to me that they just copy pasted w/o fact checking) I'm not buying it until I actually see the do ents or a website names their sources. It just feels like lazy journalism to me.

(I don't know if any of the do ents have actually became public in the last few weeks)

I'm guessing that they're fighting it because like you quoted, the 2.5 million fine is sorta a catch-all for everything that doesn't fit into another category. However, there was a reason everyone thought that Sterling would only be fined a mil prior to the fine itself. There was a distinct category into which Sterling's comments fell under with a maximum penalty of a mil.

I'm guessing he'll pay up when he has to just to keep it going longer.

To further elaborate on your message, blacks are the least loyal race in the history of mankind. Look at the slave trade as a prime example: capturing and selling their own into bondage for a few shekels. In the U.S., almost every potential slave uprising in the 19th century was quelled before it got off the ground--b/c little Cletus ratted out his co-conspirators in exchange for massa's money and a few extra bacon strips.

Just dangle some money in front of them and they're yours.

Yeah, but the Jews killed the son of God so they've got some ground on the Negroes.

NBA fines.. as if they go to build bridges and pay for firemen's wages. A fine in the NBA goes to the NBA, and into someone's pocket. So when some negro smacks another one, he has to pay a white man a lot of money. The more things change the more they stay the same.
