Yeah, so? If your job involves representing your company publicly, you should not do things that reflect poorly on your company. If getting drunk in a club, or expressing support for racists reflects poorly on your company — yeah, you should get shitcanned.

Bingo. That's just it. He got fired for not doing his job. His job is to develop the community — making controversial statements about race is almost certainly not good for the development of the community.

Would you work for a guy who would berate his girlfriend for taking a picture with you? Would you give your business to a person who tells his girlfriend that he doesn't want you (or people who look like you) to come to his place of business?

How is it a clear violation of the First Amendment?

Uh, because it's not court. Why can't the NBA use them?

If you're a free-market believer, then you should be incredibly enthusiastic about what happened to Sterling. There was no government intervention — the other owners he is in business with decided they didn't want their business hurt by the widespread shaming and developing boycotts of their business.

Chief Keef is popular because he's perceived as authentic. He's talentless but authentic. Being the "White Chief Keef", is by definition inauthentic.

Get together a group of people who are clearly not Internet trolls, ask the team nicely to stop using the term, and if they don't, I'll back you up. But you sound pretty insincere.

Possibly, but he has to sell, so whoever buys it is going to get a better deal than Sterling would like ... and it's going to cos... aww, fuck it, again, just read my goddamn post and stop repeating the same thing over and over.

It may well, but he has to sell, so whoever buys it is going to get a better deal than Sterling would like... and it's going to cost Sterling north of $200 million in taxes. We don't know if Sterling's stake in the team is leveraged, but if it is, after taxes, he may not be walking away with that much, and certainly…

Like I said, probably won't get everything he wants though. The buyer has the advantage here and I'm sure Silver isn't going to really go out of his way to make sure Sterling gets the best dollar... aw fuck it, read my post.

Forbes isn't really that reliable of a source.

No, that's wrong. It is a story, and didn't require much work to become one. If members of the media had evidence of his racist feelings to the extent that were displayed in that audio recording and did not publish them, and now are acting outraged, you would have an argument, but that's not the case.

But we're not in court. Damn.

So fucking what?

"I FEEL INCREDIBLY STRONGLY THAT THIS RACIST SHOULD NOT BE PART OF OUR LEAGUE — NOW THAT HE HAS BEEN PUBLICLY EXPOSED, AGAIN, BUT FOR REAL THIS TIME, LIKE, IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE NOTICED, A LOT, FOR HIS RACISM."

I think whatever he puts in his hair lasts about two months. His hair there is in the exact same position as when he slid into third last week.

Maybe. Maybe he's up to his eyeballs in debt with the team.

Probably won't get everything he wants though — the buyer has the advantage here, and I'm sure Silver isn't going to really go out of his way to make sure Sterling gets the best dollar. Also, we have no idea of Sterling's finances — we know he owns the team and we know the team is worth X amount, but we dont' know if…
