[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simple question: If a black owner of a NBA team had made identical remarks about his girlfriend/mistress dating or going out with whites, Hispanics or Asians, would there have been anything like the same outcry?

Would he have been banned for life? Would other owners be even talking about compelling him to sell?

Heck, the lyrics of the average rap song are way more offensive than what Sterling said.  But I guess it's who's saying them.[/quote]

1) Not all rap artists are the same -- and a lot of them look like Sterling -- not to mention the people who are buying them

2) Same free market economy applies to rap music: IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T BUY IT !

3) Once again, no one is arresting Sterling, they are saying I don't like what you said and I no longer want to do business with you, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THAT![/quote]

Well, that's certainly true,  I think a lot of people had never even heard of his team (called LA's secret professional sports franchise) until his blather.  I think it's fine to make economic decisions based on personal views about the owner or "talent."  My mother in law never watches the Ellen show, for example, because she doesn't like her lifestyle.[/quote]
