Ya, I was a little surprised that Shaq didn't get in trouble for publicly ting on a disabled kid, tbh..
Referring to Yao Ming, a player stated (on a television show): “Tell Yao Ming, ‘ching chong yang wah ah soh.’” And although the statement offended many in the Chinese community, the NBA neither fined nor suspended the player. Last month, that same player—now a former player—was accused of publicly mocking (on Instagram) a picture of a man with ectodermal dysplasia, a rare genetic disorder affecting one’s appearance. Despite being a minority owner of the Sacramento Kings, the NBA has yet to take any action against this individual.

Also JR Smith
A player was suspended for seven games for pleading guilty to a reckless driving charge that resulted in the death of a passenger.
Slippery slope
Damnit, I wanna dig Andre up and bring him with me to a Clippers gameAlso JR Smith

Ya, so far, this Sterling is backfiring on the NBA, from what I've read..
It's just going to draw attention to all the pieces of that play/have played in this league, which will just result in more anti-Black backlash from the NBA's White viewers, which is their largest demographic, tbh..
Lot's of valid points. I will be interested from a business perspective where this goes. When you start grandstanding, you better be sure there are no skeletons in your closet. Not only that, I'm not a lawyer, but I am sure if this ever gets to court that "consistency" will be key. This type of punishment does not at all seem consistent.
Sterling tells the truth, congoids in the NBA business are supremely pampered.
You don't grandstand against a billionaire lawyer. That's the 1st rule in the book. If he was Chris Anderson, no problem, but Sterling will never run out of money to pay a team of lawyers to put every nail possible into Silver's hands.
How supremely ironic would it be if it's the NAACP awards that ultimately help Sterling?
He was also going in on Kobe's ing got remarks and he was also dragging Rich Devos' name in the mud for donating 100k to the national organization of marriage. According to the report, Sterling finds it revealing that Devos was not punished by the league for making donations despite LGBT groups advocating a boycott
Let's just all admit that Silver made a grave mistake flexing his muscle against an egotistical billionaire with a ed up moral compass
also Danny Granger said all euros smell like
didn't MVParker do some nazi/racist things?
inb4 the NBA agrees and issues 300 lifetime bans on various figures
I, for one, am looking forward to this. Just sit back and watch the fireworks go off. Nothing better than watching a professional sports league get its skeletons pulled out of the closet and into the light.
If I was Sterling I would do the same thing.
Didn't know Shaq made fun of them s and it now makes me respect him even more tbh.
Lets be honest, if Sterling said dont bring asians to my game this would at best be a fine. Black people and gay people are the groups not to diss anymore because everyone has picked on them to death...no pun
^ that's not the trend anymore because s and yids are gradually taking control of this nation. Sterling dude only got suspended because the number of blacks overwhelms other races in NBA, shouldn't limit your sight within the NBA imho. If a cop does a crime hurting or killing a nig in the street, chance is he would get away with the crime; but if he kills or hurts a yid or , he is ed. Yids been owning this country for decades and they're selling some share to them s, yids and s ing co-own our asses now tbh.
Richest dude in L.A. is an Asian(worth 10 bil) Soon-Shiong and he put a bid in to buy the Clippers. Asians doing things the right way,,,let the nigs, cracka's, and s bump each other off while they silently take over.
True. A friend of mine got in trouble at work once for insinuating black people loves Fried Chicken.
Sterling was caught by his (so never trust es, that's the lesson here) expressing a personal viewpoint in the comfort of his home. If we can't express our opinions at home, then we are vastly troubled as a society.
Sterling isn't dealing with legal ramifications stemming from his comments. He's dealing with a business who has the right to do what's in its best interest and distance itself from even the perception of racism. He can show others were racist too and that the league did not act upon it, however I think a court would find that making fun of a racial stereotype is different than saying blacks are inferior to Jews and that you do not want them at your game (which he didn't say, exactly... he said in Israel they are considered inferior and that he didn't want his GF bringing a black guy to the game, specifically Magic Johnson).
I think Sterling will be able to show that the league has a nebulous, subjective policy when it comes to racism, however that will not excuse him from his liability. What he said, even in the comfort of his home, became public knowledge and the NBA has to act in the best interest of its shareholders, so to allow team owners to vote on it is the right thing and I believe will be upheld.
sterling is not keeping the team. get over it.
Asians taking over and soon this country will be China part 2. Communism. Civil rights?(blacks),,,,gone. Privilege?(whites),,,,gone. Illegal immigrants?(brown),,,,gone. Free say,,,gone. Free will,,,,gone. All because people are to stupid on how to handle money in this country and to thin skinned,,,,(steps off soap box)
