Begging the question.
Well since there's only one majority black owner of the 30 NBA teams I guess we'll all have to keep our fingers crossed that Air Jordan slips up and says some outlandish shit to his new wife to find out.

One would hope so, but the NBA is so predominantly composed of black players that it is sickening to hear these comments from a man who owns a franchise. Beyond that he seems completely wackadoodle and the team will be better off without him.

With proof his rights were violated, he was just speaking out of jealousy (dumbest reason yet), he was set up, his punishment was excessive, etc. so transparent!
no, if he said it in public I would have ZERO issue with this. It is all about where he said it and the context.
Who cares where he said it???? Who cares????
If you heard a tape recording of your neighbor saying vile things about you, would you patronize his business, go to her house, be friends with him?
Would you? Would you feel that you had to just because he said it on his back porch instead of the Giant??
It is capitalism, the market rules, I DONT HAVE TO DO BUSINESS WITH SOMEONE WHO HATES ME. PERIOD!
I don't care HOW I found out about it. THE NBA made a BUSINESS decision that they had a right to make.
IF they know their bottom line would be affected, BUH BYE!
FYI, I don't care what stupid stuff the NAACP may have done, they don't represent ALL people of color. I don't even know any black people who belong, including myself. Their actions do not validate or invalidate racism. Their actions do not diminish this man's actions.
Yes, in public or private you have the right to say whatever you want and I have a right to NOT do business with you if I don't like it !!!
By the way, if you don't want your " private" s*** to get out, don't let your side chick convince your dumb a** to let her tape ALL of your conversations!
Why or why do you keep at it. You should know by now that it is futile to aruge with bigots and/or idiots. You cannot change their hearts and minds. Leave it alone. Anyone who is willing to think intelligently knows it is all about the Benjamins.

I don't think he owns. He is looking to become an owner. Hey, maybe he will toss in his backing to purchase the Clippers.

If I heard a tape recording of a private conversation of my neighbor where he was saying vile things about my race, and not me personally? I guess it depends. In any case I would consider the context, consider my history with him, see if his private words matched what I know of him. (Obviously Sterling fails all these tests). I'd definitely take any private uttering with a huge grain of salt, knowing people say dumb shit in private which they may not even mean. So if for some crazy reason I heard a tape from my neighbor saying he doesn't want his daughter to date Latinos because they are uneducated, lazy and violent - yeah I'd be pissed. But if my other interactions with him were positive, I'd give him a chance to explain the context and a chance to apologize before trying to get him fired and forced out of the neighborhood. People say weird jealous stuff to their girlfriends. I'm guessing millions of black guys have told their girlfriends not to hang out with white guys. Millions of Asian guys have told their girlfriends not to hang out with black or white guys, and millions of white guys have told their girlfriends not to hang out with black guys. It sucks, but I've heard it from all of the above many times each.
Well if yu don't say anything you agree with what is said. If some pedophile describes his/her sex act to me in private, I am not staying quite about. I guess you would...you know the person might lose his/her job at the school.
lol, yes, raping children is EXACTLY THE SAME seriousness

I bet ya if Donald had made bad remarks about minks and subsequently banned, fined, and forced to sell his team as a result there wouldn't be so many people rushing to defend him. For some reason society doesn't seem to give a shit about human beings of a darker hue but animals? - OH HELL NO!!!
If Donald said something about chinchillas the whole country would have been in an uproar. PETA would have threatened to shut the whole league down unless they got rid of his ass and no one would have objected. There would have been a mob outside his door the next day with pitchforks - "He said foxes and rabbits deserve to be worn...GET HIM!!!!"
But what's the reaction to Donald making disparaging remarks about blacks and Hispanics and Koreans - "He made racist comments...eh, so what its not a crime it's just n#ggers and ch#nks and w#tbacks."
I swear white folks are a trip.

More bullsh*t. Now if it was said about you, you will consider the context & give him a chance to explain. Of course. Now the focus is shifted to context as if there are many ways to interpret I don't want blacks going to my games, black Jews are 150% no doubt inferior to white Jews, etc. I don't see how there could be any context to consider. He man does not like blacks period.
Dumb analogy with the neighbor. Considering the vast number of two-faced people who would not dare express any negative beliefs to one's face, you would be hard pressed to find an individual who would outright admit to making a prejudice statement & sticking by it. If he was that kind of person you would have known from the beginning. If someone makes a negative statement about a race that I am & I confront him I don't expect an honest answer. Most people are not confrontational to the point they want to risk a potentially violent conflict.
After reading the many complaints from whites crying foul about something a black person said that was taken in a negative context without allowing them to explain themselves I am calling bull on the sudden desire to hear context before reacting.

The Clippers might still have to go on the sales block because the NBA is an association. It's criteria don't have to require criminal acts to force a sale because it's not a government entity.
The NBA is free to ban the guy.
