If you was drunk on the interview with detectives then your testimony is not taken into account in court, but if you are famous, rich and drunk and said shit about blacks, yellows, brownies - they will eat you alive, America

He put out an ad thanking himself for a donation to charity

Backfired on him: "On April 29, 2014, the University of California, Los Angeles announced that it was rejecting a $3 million gift from Sterling."

He cant even buy himself fake goodwill/ PR.

In 1984, Sterling moved the Clippers from San Diego to Los Angeles. However, the move was not approved by the NBA, which fined him $25 million. He sued the league for $100 million, but dropped the suit when the league agreed to decrease the fine to $6 million

@Rus, he's done, the NBA has every right to terminate his ownership if they can get 2/3 of the owners to vote for it:

Q: Can Silver force Sterling to say whether the voice on the tapes is his?

A: Yes. Under the terms of Paragraph 24(m)(ii) of the "constitution" that governs the 30 owners of NBA teams and establishes the authority of the owners' commissioner, Silver can require Sterling to respond under oath to questions. The commissioner has "the right to require testimony and the production of documents and other evidence from any Member." As an owner, Sterling is a "member" of the NBA. Sterling and his lawyers could delay answering questions from Silver, but if Sterling refuses to admit or to deny that it is his voice on the tapes, he is in violation of the constitution and would face termination. He has no protection from the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment guarantee against self-incrimination, because he is not facing any charge of any crime.

Q: Is it possible for Silver and the NBA to terminate Sterling's franchise ownership?

A: Yes. Under the terms of Paragraph 13 of the constitution, the owners can terminate another owner's franchise with a vote of three-fourths of the NBA Board of Governors, which is composed of all 30 owners. The power to terminate is limited to things like gambling and fraud in the application for ownership, but it also includes a provision for termination when an owner "fails to fulfill" a "contractual obligation" in "such a way as to affect the [NBA] or its members adversely." Silver and the owners could assert that Sterling's statements violated the constitution's requirements to conduct business on a "reasonable" and "ethical" level.

Any owner or Silver can initiate the termination procedure with a written charge describing the violation. Sterling would have five days to respond to the charge with a written answer. The commissioner would then schedule a special meeting of the NBA Board of Governors within 10 days. Both sides would have a chance to present their evidence, and then the board would vote. If three-fourths of the board members vote to terminate, then Sterling would face termination of his ownership. It would require a vote of two-thirds of the board to reduce the termination to a fine. Terminating a franchise would obviously be a drastic remedy, but the potential of the termination procedure gives Silver and the other owners vast leverage in any discussion with Sterling about an involuntary sale of his team.

Q: Sterling is notoriously litigious. Can he go to court to stop Silver from punishing him?

A: Not effectively. When Silver issues his punishment to Sterling, the decision is final. The constitution provides in Paragraph 24(m) that a commissioner's decision shall be "final, binding, and conclusive" and shall be as final as an award of arbitration. It is almost impossible to find a judge in the United States judicial system who would set aside an award of arbitration. Sterling can file a lawsuit, but he would face a humiliating defeat early in the process. There is no antitrust theory or principle that would help him against Silver and the NBA. He could claim an antitrust violation, for example, if he were trying to move his team to a different market. But under the terms of the NBA constitution, he has no chance to succeed in litigation over punishment.

I agree with Cuban.

And next time some clown NBA player calls another a "niggah", they had better take action.

Agreed, if player is white...

 

[Bjerknes]

No, blacks too. The word is considered racist, so they should ban the player.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

You can say fire, but you can't say fire in a crowded place.

Free Speech is not black and white, ironically.

Black on black I've no issue.

 

[X Æ A-12]

what if the player is latino? Or half black and half white? Do you draw up a list of who can say nigger and who cant and put it in the rules?

tbh i think this is ridiculous. Sure he's an asshole and a racist but is that really against the rules of the NBA? he didnt say it publicly or base his policy of it so what really did he do wrong? Wha if a nonwhite player or owner says something racist? What do you do then?

 

[ALC]

Okay, so you're not allowed to be racist now? It's not like he attacked anyone or made any public discriminatory remarks; the cameras caught him in a private conversation. I believe he has that right...

Yeah, I agree that it's his constitutional right to express his opinion. That's why he's not going to jail but he remaining would be detrimental to the team and the league so that's why they want him out. The players hate him, the coach says he doesn't want anything to do with the team if he stays, etc.

And the thing about the conversation being private, Adam Silver answered that in the press conference by saying it's not private anymore once it's been made public. I wonder if Sterling has a case against the NBA for unlawful termination or whatever you wanna call it.

I say express it until you're uncomfortable.

 

[X Æ A-12]

great solution, good thing standards of discomfort are just universal to everyone.

 

[Bjerknes]

It's not about free speech, it's about double standards. And that is the constant theme these days.

Race relations are incredibly poor and they don't need to get worse due to selective enforcement.

Black on black crime kills the most blacks apart from black abortion.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I love abortion, you should too, ABE!

This reminds me of what Mark Cuban said. It is a slippery slope. I don't have a problem with players calling each other nigger but I don't think white people saying it should be punished. This happened to Cooper, Eagles player who said the n word, and he got so much shit in the media for it. Only because he was white.

And yes, Nazi Germany was very tolerant, they were very accepting of gays as long as he was tall, had blond hair and blue eyes and was not gay.

Which would be funny, since this whole mess started because this old fat fucks wife sued his mistress for 1.8m for having affair with her husband and for being an inconvenience, and the mistress who cant afford that responded by putting the squeez on the fat rich fuck to get the dough, by taping him being his usual racist self while he was drunk. Its actually frigging hilarious shit if you listen to it, he doesnt mind her sleeping with black men (even ones who have HIV like Magic), he just doesnt want the embarrassment of her being seen with them on public in NBA games our out socially, because you know, its awkward for him to be mocked by his old fat rich racist friends. Image is everything with old powerful bigots. You dont want to inconvenience the establishment like that yo.


This is more amusing then anything else, even if obviously racist, its nothing major, but what is the old scandals that been swept under the rug in last decade, how he treats his tenants with extreme prejudice, litterally kicking people out to the curb and back to the ghetto from his appartment complexes because they are black or mexican. Now THATS TRULY UNACCEPTABLE.

what is up with that? do they not care?
