Looking for genuine discourse re: Donald Sterling/NBA

How so? If he selects a player in the draft, doesn't that player have to work for him?

Or are you saying that no one HAS to play in the NBA? Which is true, but kind of beside the point.

Outside of the rookie contract no one is forced to play for anyone team. If you have a desirable skill then there are 29 other NBA teams that will potentially seek your services.
 
Yeah let's blame the victims for peacefully protesting. Wearing a jersey the incorrect way, in this situation, is the most scandalous and shameful thing I can think of. Outrageous, actually.

Defending racists is becoming common of you.

Posting crap is common of you. I have in no way defended his words or opinions. But that would be honest of you to point that out. You stopped being honest long ago.

So you are saying that draft picks and currently signed players SHOULD be forced to work for him, then?

No player is being forced to play for him.

In fact, they're getting paid millions of dollars to play for him, when they most likely already knew what his feelings on minorities were.

Hell, Doc Rivers played for the guy. It's not like his feelings were some big secret…but now that TMZ is reporting it, it's apparently a hell of a lot more important than when the DOJ was investigating him.

Players that willingly signed a contract should be held to the terms they agreed to.

The only potential argument here are players draft by the Clippers that didn't have an option. I have no good answer there. Allow them to be free agents after this season? Is that even possible?
 
I gurantee you that he will be able to fill his roster. Guarantee it. It may not be Chris Paul and Blake Griffin level talent but there are thousands of people that will sign on any dotted line he gives them to play for the Clips. His personal opinions be damned.

i will accept the league minimum if he will put me on his roster
 
I guess the players didn't represent the Clippers when they wore their game uniforms, shot the ball, scored some points, slapped some butts, all while playing for some mYSteRY tEaM from Los Angeles.

Is this where you tell me about your PHD and hotties?

Obviously nothing will come of it as nothing should. They have that right. I didn't like what they did. You want to make some issue of me not liking it.

We done here?
 
thats what said half hour ebefore you in other thread.

how is this not an issue.

i admit i have not listened to the tape not one bit. i give the man his privacy.
not a fan of clippers. not a fan of anyboody in that organization(except collins, if he is still there)

but seriously where the **** is this world going.

everybody thinks they have the right to recrod photograph and film everything.
wtf happened to privacy!?!?!?!


i find the reporters who put this out and the people who listen to peoples private convos just as deplorable and without moral as a racist

Yea the loss of privacy is what the real story is. First of all our loss of privacy was gone years ago. Some how the fact that people just ignore the comments as his personal business is really the shocking thing, yea just ignore bigotry and hope it goes away.

You're a crazy lunatic, and it sucks that you moderate the sentiments on this board. You should step down. You'll be happier; and the board will be a better place.

hahahaha.

Have I in any way moderated your sentiment?

As for my happiness. Don't worry about that, I am just fine. Life is great.
