Should this NBA employee for the last several decades receive any punishment at all? Why or why not?

[mcdonae101]

regarding the double standard, I understand, but because of the fact it's due to stuff that happened generations ago, I feel it isn't right to be able to take it to the limits it gets taken to

[Cuse0323]

He will get a pat on the back for his bigoted view.

[ChalkyDog]

The double standard doesn't originate from black people. It's a byproduct of white guilt allowing such bullshit.

[bigtymer56]

Well since Sterling has the public outrage market cornered right now...nothing will happen.

To all u guys crying about double standards...
From what I remember didnt Tim Hardaway lose his job for his anti-gay remarks years ago?

[pavyracer]

Blacks can't be racists. They are the oppressed people of the world.

Not the same, can't say shit about gays regardless of your race.

[teaserpleaser]

what does he mean by our own league wtf is the NBA then? white guys gotta have true skill to get PT these days wheres jimmer and adam Morrison JJ Reddick and mike miller can shoot out of this world and birdman is hustle man you get where i'm going with this.

[jjgold]

Black leagues would fail because they're not smart enough

They also don't have enough money

Most blacks do not go to games

They will get very few advertisers

[Cuse0323]

Really though, what's different between a guy saying he doesn't want his girlfriend bringing a black guy to the game and a black guy saying he thinks there should be a black only league? If Larry or Spike Lee or any of the loud mouth preachers of racism in America said they didn't want their family dating whites, would anyone care?

Thats the thing most people miss. Look at the stands at games in NBA, Super Bowl, big college football games and so on...Yankee Stadium......only blacks you see are rappers and other athletes and only hispanics are just running up and down selling the cotton candy and $8 beers. League would crumble under its own weight.

[The Kraken]

Black league would fail because it would isolate the whites. You know, the ppl that actually pay money for the tickets instead of having a friend employee open up the back door. It would isolate the sponsors because white guys run the big time companies that can afford to advertise there. It would alienate the black players and they would end up playing in front of hundreds of fans in high school gymnasiums.

i can guarantee you this, right now Kevin Johnson and every other black player and exec with even half a brain cringed when they heard LJ's comments. They know the direction of flow of money.

If 90% of your paying customers are not black you will be stupid to demand an all black league. Non-blacks pay the taxes to build the NBA arenas. Without whites there is no NBA. Magic and Michael Jordan and Jay Z will loose their money if all white owners leave the NBA.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

are we talking about this larry johnson?

[MoneyLineDawg]

If it costs the league money and sponsorships, and a media shitstorm....Yes

Like it or not, it's always gunna be all about the money.....Sterling staying in power hurts the NBA bottom line and image...Doesn't matter how or why

Like it or not, Owners will always be held to a higher standard than some ex-player

without whites there are no blacks. they wouldnt be able to care and feed themselves

[MoneyLineDawg]

It's all about him being an owner....Add in his checkered past and this is what you get

If a white player makes similar comments he gets treated like Riley Cooper....No big deal at all because he didn't cost the league money or hurt the NFL's image one bit with regards to public opinion and sponsors

People too hung up on the comments themselves....It's more about Sterling's position....Clearly

[King Mayan]

Do you guys ever stop crying.. Fukk man... whites are the new blacks..

[Cuse0323]

Do you guys ever stop crying.. Fukk man... whites are the new blacks..

[jjgold]

It's not a big deal at Larry Johnson because everyone knows he's a clown and he's a nobody

[King Mayan]

hispanics are just running up and down selling the cotton candy and $8 beers. League would crumble under its own weight.

Maybe in the shitty south... 70% of leaker/clippers games are Hispanic...

[MoneyLineDawg]

Do you guys ever stop crying.. Fukk man... whites are the new blacks..

I'm embarrassed by all the crying when anything like this comes up and I'm a whitey myself

Here's my view in a nutshell.....Life ain't fair, white (men) aren't allowed to express bigoted views....Don't like it? Tough.....Look man, I hate fukkin traffic but I deal with that shit every damn morning....Learn to adapt or deal with the consequences

So either don't have these views or keep em to yourself and there will be no problems, none.....Other minorities can say what they want? Who cares, laugh it off.....Most of the shit is funny and it doesn't hurt unless you wanna be a bitch about it

So fukkin simple, it really is pathetic how people constantly get caught up in the race shit

[jjgold]

King Tut is one of the toughest Hispanics on forums not just SBR

Some people rough him up on the forum but scared to death to meet him in person when challenged

This guy ran his mouth at me and I challenged him to a flight at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and he never showed

I agree with what you're saying but it should go both ways, that's all.

Funny I Never mentioned Don sterling I only mentioned larry johnson
But since you brought it up so Now it's about being an owner? It was about representing the NBA brand in the press conference when they banned Don. And LJ made hateful comments about gays not belonging in NBA just last year so your checkered past argument doesn't hold water either.

Riley cooper has nothing to do with the NBA. The nba commissioner took a hard line stance against people expressing bigotry representing the nba brand. Banning for life the longest tenured owner in the nba for private,illegal recorded comments. Yet public equally offensive comments by an NBA employee of two decades SPOKEN AT A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL AT A SPONSORED NBA EVENT gets not even a one day suspension?

Moneyline dawg are you saying larry Johnson deserves absolutely no punishment?

[James D]

Do you guys ever stop crying.. Fukk man... whites are the new blacks..

is this directed at me?

True, just depends on the person who is saying things I suppose. People pick their battles and decided this is the one that everyone would jump on.

What are the criteria for the battles? Isn't that a fancy way to say double standards .

I'm embarrassed by all the crying when anything like this comes up and I'm a whitey myself

crying? Not me pal. I have way to much too going on to cry . And if you are calling me a bitch you are a pathetic joke

King Tut is one of the toughest Hispanics on forums not just SBR

This guy ran his mouth at me and I challenged him to a flight at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and he never showed

I seriously hope this sh@t isn't directed at me

[GUMMO77]

Larry should be out, too, but that doesn't mean the NBA won't take action. It's way too early to tell.

[James D]

Larry should be out, too, but that doesn't mean the NBA won't take action. It's way too early to tell.

I don't even want him out . Why would I want one guy completely screwed just because another guy was screwed. I just think NO response or a minimal response vs a lifetime ban is hilarious. I predict in a few days something will give because the double standard is so extreme. But it won't be anything major happening to LJ

[itchypickle]

Maybe in the shitty south... 70% of leaker/clippers games are Hispanic...

Maybe thats why the latest round of race issues on the news have been in Nevada with Bundy and Sterling in Cali - minorities have pissed off even them damn yankees.

Moneyline dawg are you saying larry Johnson deserves absolutely no punishment?

No LJ should be punished but Owners and people of authority are (and should be) held to a much higher standard

If you hurt your companies' bottom line and reputation you will face a massive penalty.....Which is what happened to Sterling.

No sponsors are pulling out because of Larry Johnson.....It's just the way it is, you can't be controversial or a bigot as an owner or person of authority....Much more leeway the further down the line you go. You think anyone gives two shits if the head custodian of the Clippers got caught saying the same things?

And btw, wasn't referring to you at all in my other post....You seem like a sharp dude, I value your opinions....Just speaking in general about people constantly crying about race, which I don't even think you were

[MoneyLineDawg]

I agree with what you're saying but it should go both ways, that's all.

It should, but it doesn't....In an ideal world, there would be a million things that we would all love to change but such is life

Once you get past the fact that there is a double standard when it comes to certain things in the media, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it, you'll feel a lot better

Is it more the fact that you're angry blacks or minorities can get away with stuff, or that whites can't express bigoted and controversial views?

[James D]

Great moneyline, sorry for the misunderstanding. I don't mind people disagreeing as long as they are exhibiting a modicum of honesty and sincerity, you exhibit far more of course. We just disagree on some things which of course is reasonable.

[GUMMO77]

Curious why you didn't post Larry's tweet right before the the one you have an issue with?
