"Sterling is a jerk, an unlikeable fella, but is he guilty of a crime that demands his property be confiscated? Uh, no.

Donald Sterling's Ban from the NBA is Un-American, and here's why...

that was a really good post, really good point of view from you.

It's really interesting how people are landing on this issue.  My first instinct was "The sponsors are gonna drop (they did) and the players will protest (they were talking about sitting out this game before Silver spoke right before it)".

Now?   Now I think I'm okay with him being voted out by the other owners - IF it is because his actions hurt the league, and he's agreed to be held to a higher code of ethics.  Same way a school will bounce a teacher if a home porno "accidentally" leaks to the web.   perfectly legal for her to do it, totally legal to bounce her too.  So I'm okay if they bounce him from ownership due to this.

HOWEVER - i think they should bounce EVERY person that shows intolerance.  Anti-gay and anti-semetic outbursts should carry the SAME punishment, as should acts of domestic violence.  I have to  think Jason Kidd bouncing his fists off his wife's noggin is WAY worse than this dude saying he prefers his mistress not bring anyone of a certain color to a game (but he's cool with her banging them).

If you're gonna bounce him, you bounce Kobe for using the gay slur that he did.

Here's the thing... definitions of racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-semitism etc., appear to be wide & varied, ...and who decides? Right now we have people speculating that simply being married to Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, his beleaguered wife Renata is a victim of domestic violence.

Apparently Ms. Stiviano's lawyer has released a statement saying she did NOT make or release the recording. So it begs the question "who did?"

I don't think think is going to die down smoothly at all. On that tape, he made some very direct and very forceful allegations about Israelis, the state of affairs in Israel, and how white Israeli Jews behave towards Black Israeli Jews, and that he thought such behaviour was right! I have a feeling there are A LOT of people with very long memories who are none too happy with him tonight!  :-\

The difference is that the media lead us along like sheep to the slaughter, turning us into reactionary, shallow thinking, low information voters along the way
