Here is the reaction from Greg Miller:
Also this was posted on the website and through all social media avenues.
Go Jazz!!!
Does that picture mean "We are the nice white minority surrounded by the black emptiness"?

People are crazy acting like they are so shocked racism and discrimination still exist.
A lot of people are still blind to how they themselves are discriminating. Very sad.
Racism
Gender bashing
Homophobia
Disability discrimination.
All alive and well in this world. If you think there is a difference in ethicality based on who you discriminate, or what you allow, you are the problem.

You're right, why do today what we can put off til tomorrow? At some point this species has to say "enough is enough" otherwise we're destined to repeat the same process of "learn, build, destroy".

Yea this is the hard part about it, I've never said anything like that but if all my private conversation were public my employer would view me much differently.

None of the aforementioned topics even closely relate to the type of person I am. Instead of trying to justify the actions of an old bigot, let's focus on the issue at hand.

This is the kind of bad karma you get when you move a team from San Diego. I'll never forget him saying "I love San Diego and I'd never move the Clippers". Two weeks later the announcement came down that they were moving.
I'm willing to bet that Sterlings reaction is to lawyer up and sue everyone. The dude lives in court and it will be pretty interesting if it does go to the courts.(legal courts, not basketball courts you morons) It will be very interesting to see how a private conversation that was leaked to the media can result in a person having to give up personal property. I personally hope he goes away, but I doubt he will go peacefully.

Do you have a stake in an organization where those things you've said in confidence could potentially devalue the rest of the organization if they got out? No? Apples to oranges.
I never thought I'd ever meet a person that had it all figured out.

I'm sorry if I came off that way, it wasn't my intention. But you have to admit that the writing is on the wall.

I'm at work so hadn't heard the details yet but if they did ban him for life I'm sure they have more on him then just this private conversation. Let us not forget his issues with the ex GM Elgin Baylor, he has had previous comments and run ins that for whatever reason never got as much attention as this, as well as I have also heard he had run ins back when he was part of low income "slum housing".
So if they have proof of all that they can use that history has a repetitive behavior pattern and hopefully make it stick. Also whoever said it, that this is bad business for the NBA and they can use that his actions are causing them to lose sponsors which = money. Cause as bad as this recording may have sounded, it is a private conversation and it isn't exactly against the law to be an old bigoted ahole.
