"probably didn't violate any league policies" is wishful thinking.

So if you turn out to be a racist dickhead, you're country club can't kick you out without violating the Constitution? Cause that is what's happening.

Sterling views the players as chattel. That is the point. Why would anyone stay in the employ of a league that does not do everything in its power to axe him?

Got it. We are way out into hypothetical land here, but if a beneficiary sues the trust, couldn't the trust accept the proceeds from a forced sale and not distribute them till the "Sterling v. Sterling" action is resolved. What would be the grounds for such a suit anyway? Also a request for an injunction from a…

I think the lesson for cats is the more you act like dogs, the better.

Most of the comments are along the lines of "silly black man, don't you understand our legal system?" But if there is legal action, there will be settlement negotiations. Sterling and his wife will apply great pressure on the NBA to settle. Lebron, a legit stakeholder, is applying countervailing pressure, letting all…

NBA claims that if the majority owner is forced out, they have the right to force out minority owners without them violating the constitution or whatever predicate they use to force Sterling out. combine with waiver of legal action against the league, this may not be as hard as everyone thinks. The hardest part to me…

Semantics at best, inaccurate at worst. They have already taken over control of the team. They then auction it off, and give sterling the proceeds.

Adam Silvers certainly wants you to think that. A bunch of white owners with their own skeletons in their own closets are a different story. They don't want to go to court (discovery process being very broad) and will settle with sterling or his wife if possible. As a stakeholder, LeBron wants them to know the…

Is it impossible for anyone to act on their conscious anymore? Donald Sterling clearly views NBA players as chattel. The NBA enabled him for years. Its an admirable move, whether its designed to use leverage to force action or just a fuck you to white owners making money off his sweat.

And even if that is LeBron's position, you would think that LeBron would have a full hour ESPN special to announce said position, not leave it to some unknown NBPA executive on a Jim Rome Show that no one even new existed till this morning. Out.

Tough day for scooter aficionados.

I think her comments stink. Like camembert.

Do you see basketball games on TV? Those seats sure are filled with a lot of white people who presumably live in or near cities. Go fuck yourself, cracker.

Sure I guess, but Rogan saying the Beebs is a kid of a dick is not exactly going out on a limb with a controversial hot take.

Agreed. Was confused by what they called each category. Should be reversed.
