He sorta did, tho. He referred this to the board of governors; apparently, if 3/4 of them agree, they can force the sale of the team. Not sure who comprises the membership of the BOG, but presumably it includes all 30 team owners.Letang Is The Truth wrote:i think the NBA was smart not to take this to the owners. if it came up 50/50 then everyone looks kind of silly

Re: NBA
The financial penalty is the maximum allowable under the NBA constitution and bylaws. But to put that into perspective for a man worth $1.9 billion, that's broadly the same as fining someone who makes $50,000 a year about $65.

Not to marginalize what was said by the guy, but it really seems like this was planned to a certain degree. Who prodes a guy on something like that and tapes the conversation. Magic is involved in the conversation, now watch him end up buying the team.

I wonder what would happen if the Seattle guys tried to buy the Clippers and offered more than Magic's group.thehockeyguru wrote:Not to marginalize what was said by the guy, but it really seems like this was planned to a certain degree.

Its like magic, this gold digger, and his wife got in a room and hashed a plan to take advantage of this old racist guy. The chick gets the old man to buy her stuff, magic gets the team, and the wife gets half of the sale price.

Re: NBA
Are people really that enraged about this? Let's let the gold digging whore go for having relations with a man that is married and she clearly wouldn't be attracted to if he wasn't loaded because he said don't bring black people to my game. I am not excusing his comments but let's be honest what Don Imus said years ago was far worse than what Donald said. I think there are more important issues to this story but the race factor is the 'bigger' issue because the media is making it so.

Sterling's been a terrible owner and terrible person for decades. He should have been forced out a long time ago.ILikeTurtles wrote:Are people really that enraged about this?

I may be wrong, but didn't TMZ report that the recording sessions used to be quite regular, because Sterling wanted to "archive his thoughts"?thehockeyguru wrote:Its like magic, this gold digger, and his wife got in a room and hashed a plan to take advantage of this old racist guy.

Re: NBA
I'd say the most important issue is whether the players wanted him gone. The owners can put together whatever deal they want to maximize their profits (and they seem good at doing that), but there's no game without the dudes on the court. I believe this to be one of those rare cases where principle was more important than $$$ to the players and that some would have reacted in ways that hurt the bottom line. And that's not even taking into account the people who buy tickets and watch the games.ILikeTurtles wrote:Are people really that enraged about this?
