Looking for genuine discourse re: Donald Sterling/NBA

[Stoked]

And if the organization you have a contractual relationship with has rights under that contract to terminate your membership for cause. . . . . .

Still don't see it as freedom of speech. Sterlign is allowed to say it. Just as the NBA is allowed to break ties with him.

....BINGO! So you did learn something from 4 years in college after all!

I'd normally think that this reply was sarcastic, but given it's you, I'm inclined not to give you the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Stoked]

really? so i can take your property cus you said something i dont like.


hmmm i'll move to america and start claiming property



basically as i see it his he either gives up "property rights" or "Freedom of speech in privcy right"

Gross misrepresentation of what happened. You and I have no contract with by laws. So if you just seize my property it is theft.

Also no one is siezing his property. They may try to force him to sell but that is different.

...no one is really arguing that Sterling said what he said, and even though in private, hit the front page of the N.Y. Post because of modern day technology that he should have known was a possibility! What we are saying is that there seems to be a double standard when it comes to what the NBA says is acceptable and where they draw the line! In actuality, rap invading the NBA, is by far the worst of the worst when it comes to effecting people's thinking, especially the young and impressionable.....and yet and still is promoted at the highest level in every avenue possible, before, during and after games! Both Mushnick and my man Dutch....clearly point this out in easy terms to understand!

Actually, I'd say what is far more damaging in effecting people's thinking, especially the young and impressionable, is the words and actions of bigots, such as, say, you. I'd rather my children grow up listening to rap any day of the week than to spend extended time around a narrow minded bigot like you.

It doesn't matter how clearly you, Mushnick, or your man Dutch make this point, it's still a dumb one. You've clearly stated many stupid ideas on this discussion board over time. Stating them clearly doesn't make them any less stupid.

.....I'm sure, as a result, they will grow up to be fine, outstanding US citizens.....with a body loaded with jailhouse tats.....and a vocabulary centered around ho's, bitches, and 4 letter words of imaginable disgust!

lol these players will play against and with players who raped, dui-ed, assaulted, burglarized and committed all other crimes.
but they wont play for the estranged wife of someone who might have said some racist stuff


wow this world is pathetic

Magic says Clippers won’t play for Shelly Sterling — Magic Johnson said Clippers players won’t stand for Shelly Sterling retaining 50 percent of her ownership stake in the team and that if she does, the players will not play. Eric Prisbell of USA Today has more:

“Those guys are not going to play for anybody (named) Sterling,” Johnson told USA TODAY Sports and two other reporters at the Omni Dallas Hotel. “It’s just how it is. It’s hard to separate the two. … It’s going to be hard for them to sell that to the fans and definitely to the players.”

USA TODAY Sports reported on Thursday that Shelly Sterling intends to remain a 50 percent owner of the Clippers, even though the NBA banned her husband for life in the wake of his racist remarks that were tape recorded and released by the website TMZ. Shelly Sterling said she would remain a passive owner and does not want to be involved in running the team.

But Johnson said it is impossible to separate Shelly Sterling from her husband, even though her voice was absent from the audio recording. He noted past allegations about deplorable living conditions by tenants who lived in properties owned by the Sterlings.

“When they accused them of (being) slumlords, that was both, it wasn’t one person,” Johnson said. “It was both of them. … They will never recover from this. All the sponsors pulling out, they will pull out for good if she is owning it. It’s not going to be the same.”

When asked to characterize his level of interest in buying the Clippers, Johnson said he wanted to wait until the team is officially up for sale before he states his interest level. Johnson has said that he one day wants to own an NBA team.

“First of all, we have to all remember that that is a long way away,” Johnson said. “The board of governors first has to vote him out. Donald Sterling is going to fight it. You know that. It is going to be a long time.

“I have other things to do before I just say my level of interest. The team has to be up for sale. And I think that is going to be eight months to a year. Once it’s official, that it’s really up for sale, we’ll take a look at it.”

Looks like I am right about the bottom line being all this was EVER about. Inside the NBA pimping Donald Sterling exclusive interview on CNN. If the NBA was truly disgusted by Sterling, they wouldn't acknowledge him after banishing him. Turns out they were only disgusted by the financial hit they'd take if they didn't get rid of him.

this also says more about society then sterling.

society is okay with all the people in nba who really physically harmed people.

then what one man says in his home.


society sucks.

time to join forces with bane and joker and burn the world

What's just so sad sad sad is how he's going to lose his franchise over one freaking ugly woman.

So you mean to tell me he couldn't have hired some hot blond ditz off Santa Monica Pier to be his whore? What, was Pam Anderson out of town or something?

It's LA! C'mon! Shouldn't be that hard! The only easier place to get some hot action might be Wolverine Crossing or Belmont Condos. Hell, even a Lil Brother coed would work!

Easier than pie! Hot Apple Pie...

Were it to come to that, I would prefer it to their becoming bigots.

Bigots (like you) and bullies who prey on the weak and vulnerable are the lowest scum of the earth.
