Lifetime Ban for Sterling

[LT Profits]

Plus $2.5 million fine

[opie1988]

Has there ever been a more jew-looking Jew than Adam Silver?

Wow.

[thetrinity]

they cant force him to sell this should be interesting

[brooks85]

lol his apology to the former nba black players was hilarious and completely unrelated to anything.

I don't give a single dollar to nba and I go out of my way to watch any game online. Only an anti-American would continue to support this league.

[stealthyburrito]

So, how are they going to force a sale?

Do they have enough of the owners backing to make him sell?

[MiDNiTe]

wow thought sliver would try to show who's boss and not show weakness with the media all over this but that's hefty punishment

[boeing power]

they cant force him to sell this should be interesting

Yes they can, just need 2/3 of the owners to vote him out.

[RubberKettle]

Magic n his financiers will buy the team

[daneblazer]

If you're banned for life, do you have to pay the fine?

[brooks85]

They won't, that's why he said "try." In the other words, they have very little hope. They are going to try and box him out from his team, let the clippers fall into despair then try force the sale in a few years most likely.

[LT Profits]

And in other news, Clippers -6.

[GUMMO77]

He gone

[RubberKettle]

couldnt sterling just sell and miss out on the fine?

[TwoWays]

what does this lifetime ban of?

[Deuce]

Makes me sick. Can't have your own opinion within private walls. Disgusting what this society has become.

[geebert74]

unfukkin believable.

[thetrinity]

power play by a green douchebag

[MoneyLineDawg]

No complaints from me...Being a POS finally caught up to him 80 years later

[stealthyburrito]

I wonder what the other owners will do.

If they don't back silver, he will look weak.

[boeing power]

what does this lifetime ban of?

Any association with the team.

Cant go to games or have any contact with the team.

[TwoWays]

the media portrays outrage by everyone but we already know that this is not so

[thetrinity]

They won't, that's why he said "try." In the other words, they have very little hope. They are going to try and box him out from his team, let the clippers fall into despair then try force the sale in a few years most likely.

exactly, he may croak before this even happens

[d2bets]

He will sell. He can't be stupid enough to try anything else. I mean, if refuses, the league could annex the Clippers and he'll end up with nothing. I suppose he could fight it in the courts, but it'll be a mess. He'd have to be certifiably insane not to agree to sell.

[thetrinity]

this fuckin silver is going to ruin the nba

[d2bets]

exactly, he may croak before this even happens

Not to be insensitive, but that would seem like the JoPa effect.

[daneblazer]

It's all an elaborate plan to make the Lakers relevant again

[goduke]

I know what he said isn't ok but Jesus this is a bad precedent being set. I think all of us on a daily basis say things we shouldn't, they may not be racist but they might not be vanilla pc either. Watch in the future what happens because of this. I can see alot more recordings like this occurring.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Makes me sick. Can't have your own opinion within private walls. Disgusting what this society has become.

He's a disaster for NBA business going forward...more about what could happen if he stayed in power

I don't feel bad for the guy...there's tons of stories of him being a complete jerkoff, race issues aside

[thetrinity]

He will sell. He can't be stupid enough to try anything else. I mean, if refuses, the league could annex the Clippers and he'll end up with nothing. I suppose he could fight it in the courts, but it'll be a mess. He'd have to be certifiably insane not to agree to sell.

why because he was recorded without his permission? hell fight this til his death

[d2bets]

this fukkin * is going to ruin the nba

Nonsense. If he did anything else the league could crumble. He did what he had to do and the right thing. No brainer, really.

[TwoWays]

annex the clippers? lol are u fckn' kidding me! what kind of america is this?

[Cappinpicks]

Sterling silver

[GUMMO77]

I wonder what the other owners will do.

If they don't back silver, he will look weak.

Seems at this point he has their backing, but that could change.

Interesting article from Munson.

If what he says is correct then they can throw Sterling to the street pretty easily.

[d2bets]

why because he was recorded without his permission? hell fight this til his death

To what end? If finances are his concern, then he'll sell.
