Jazz reaction to the Sterling ban.

Agree. Way to severe for what was said. Fine him the maximum 1 million an let it go. That's a lot of money and according to their by laws, it's the maximum.

There is a vast difference between standing up for what YOU believe is right, and decrying a violation of his first amendment rights when it is clear that nothing of the sort occurred.

Not really

This entire issue makes me think of the "Riley Cooper" situation and how the NFL handled it. Compared to Sterling, Cooper got off VERY EASY. They could have thrown him out of the league, instead they gave him an opportunity to apologize and seek counseling. Sterling is getting no such option. Anyone else surprised by this?

yeah that is true. Kobe allegedly raped a girl got way less. People in nfl have killed people and have gotten way less. That alone shows how far out of wack this has become

He wasn't banning her friends from coming to the game. He was mad she was with them for who knows what ever reason. The man is a dumb *** but stopping people from coming to his games is not something an owner would do

"You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that … and not to bring them to my games.”

Was the quote that made me think so. Did I misunderstood? Sorry, English is not my mother tongue.

He makes 2.5 million a playoff game, plus he'll sell his team for over a billion dollars. I don't think he'll be too sad about it.

Not considering Sterling's long history of this kind of behavior.

Has sterling actually committed any crime? I don't really know what happened in the past. Could someone explain what he has done in the past

 

[Bill]

I am not saying what he said is not bad by any means. Sounded like he was telling her to not to promote it, not calling her friends directly and telling them that.

I don't mean to get into detail of what he said because none of us were there. I am just saying it was said to her not anyone else.

He's had lawsuits against him for discrimination for his housing complexes, a lawsuit alleging discrimination by Elgin Baylor (ex-GM), etc.

What I don't get is why the NAACP would ever give him a lifetime reward when he has obvious red flags even before this.

The real issue everyone has failed to mention...... he was committing adultery. We should cut his dick off. Who knows maybe there is some fine print in his wedding vows so let's forget the 8th ammendment and just cut it off
