I'm having a hard time watching these series when the refs are absolutely deciding who wins.

Donald Sterling continues to show he's pro sports most embarrassing owner. Classy guy, he is.

Yeah, considering "boycott nba" is trending on twitter, id imagine the nba is not happy about this and will do everything they legally can to force him out.

How is being a racist grounds to strip him of the team? He'll get heat, but I can't see the league having jurisdiction to do much of anything.

Boycotting the team is dumb. He's in LA, the teams going to make money regardless. If black people wanna really make him uncomfortable, show up in huge numbers and GO to the game. He doesn't want you there, it'll make him feel awkward.

The Clippers are a franchise of the nba. I'm sure they'll think of something....hell, Marge Schott was banned twice from day to day operations for shit she said. It's 2014, you can't say that shit even in private

I'm sure they can fine him or suspend him, but I can't imagine it would be legal for them to completely strip ownership.

"He can be fined up to 1 million dollars (gonna happen) and can be suspended indefinitely for conduct that hurts the NBA's reputation (up for interpretation on purpose).

So basically, they're going to fine him a mil and give him an open ended suspension while pressuring him hard to sell, and he will sell because the NBA can't force him to, but they can fuck him over in other ways as an owner."

taken from another site....

Also didn't realize he is the league's longest tenured owner

That's what I figured they'd do. Legally can't just make him sell. But make his life living hell until he just says fuck it and sells.

Maybe he'll try to do the same thing and see how desperate they are to get him out. Black eye for the NBA until he's gone, so tell them fuck it, you want the team? $2 billion price tag.

I really don't think Antic is the guy you want chucking a three at the buzzer.

Tony Parker, biggest flopper in the game. That last play looked like he was shot.

If I was commish the first flop/flail would be $100,000, then double every time after. It wouldn't take too long to stop, but then again no one gives a shit about the hideous refs so they don't care about flopping.

Just listened to the whole Sterling audio, and it wasn't as explosive as I expected based on the reaction it's getting. The conversation didn't make a whole lot of sense, but he didn't use any slurs, and went out of his way multiple times to say he didn't hate black people, even as she kept baiting him. I was kind of picturing a Michael Richards situation.

Also checked, and California is a 2-party state. Not sure how problematic that would be for any NBA action, but assuming Sterling didn't consent to have the conversation recorded he could easily press wiretapping charges against the girl.
