How could NBA "force" Sterling to step down?

How could NBA "force" Sterling to step down?

It's written in the contract/constitution.

Sterling bangs tranny hookers. I like this guy. And how the fuck is this guy a racist- he's dating a fucking Philipino dude.

[James28]

What is this 'NBA' people talk about?

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Any truth to the rumor that Arce1988 and Quickerblade are in negotiations to buy the Clippers?   

Lolz. Heard their part of Magic's group to buy up the Clippers. Arce and Magic will be opening up paypal account next week to take donations...

[The Abdominal Snoman]

OVer the next few weeks, the media is going to tell the public that Sterling's health is ailing...What that really means is that he's about to be killed if he doesn't sell off the Clippers...They are stacking the deck against this guy. You can see it coming clear as day...So much foreshadowing going on with this story. One tell is Michael Jordan coming out within hours of the story breaking. MJ actually doesn't really like blacks. He's basically come out and said this before. And over the years he's shied away from any type of conflict that concerned politics and anything "black" related. Tiger Woods is like MJ and feels the same way to a degree. But when MJ came out against this guy Sterling, something just didn't smell right...Why now MJ? And why so quick?

This is a very good point....

Getbig is a nice forum to push your white-bread agenda, given klan rallies aren't that popular down South anymore.  One of the biggest undercover hicks on getbig.

Parker still running one of the longest held gimmicks on Getwhite.

U are a funny guy, a racist calling others racist

Pot calling the kettle black

Mark Cuban's 'Slippery Slope' Comment Is Why No One Thinks The NBA Will Force Donald Sterling To Sell The Clippers

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says he doesn't support the NBA's forcing Donald Sterling to sell the Los Angeles Clippers after his racism scandal.

He called it a "slippery slope" that would set a precedent for the league ousting owners because of their personal views in the future.

Cuban told the Associated Press:

"Again, there's no excuse for his positions. There's no excuse for what he said. There's no excuse for anybody to support racism. There's no place for it in our league, but there's a very, very, very slippery slope."

He said forcing Sterling to sell would be un-American:

"But regardless of your background, regardless of the history they have, if we're taking something somebody said in their home and we're trying to turn it into something that leads to you being forced to divest property in any way, shape or form, that's not the United States of America. I don't want to be part of that."

Cuban's comments are not a promising sign for those who want NBA commissioner Adam Silver to use the so-called nuclear option — that is, calling on the NBA board of governors to terminate Sterling's ownership.

Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Silver has been "studying" the option.

But experts disagree on whether the nuclear option even exists in the NBA's constitution, and no one thinks it will happen. A source told ESPN that there are "less than 1 in 100 million odds" that Silver forces Sterling to sell.

In theory, though, Silver could ask the board of governors, which consists of the 30 league owners, to vote on terminating Sterling's ownership.

It'd require a three-fourths majority to pass, according to ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson.

And that's where Cuban's comment comes into play. By voting to eliminate Sterling, NBA owners would be setting a precedent for stripping owners of their property.

No matter how strongly they feel about Sterling's comments, you aren't going to find 23 owners who are willing to vote against their own self-interest — creating a road map that future owners could use to strip them of their franchises.

UPDATE: After Adam Silver banned Sterling for life and moved to force a sale of the Clippers, Cuban tweeted that he 100% supports the decision.

That's why the Commissioner's position of power was at his greatest the past couple days. With the emotions and media red hot and all that.

From here on out reality is really going to kick in. To think that 3/4ths of the billionaire and multi millionaire owners are going to vote for something that could come back to bite THEM in the ass 10, 20, 30 years down the road and potentially cost them 100s of millions of dollars over a phone call with some tramp who was baiting him?? C'mon now, I just can't see that happening.  These guys will front and play it up for the camera. They might genuinely be disgusted but in the end The Almighty Dollar always wins.

And THAT is not even considering the legal issues Silver is going to be tied up with Sterling over the next few years, which has already been discussed by 240, DroppingPlates, Parker and others on here.

I understand something had to be done because of this guys comments but as this drags out and the emotions of the public cool down, aside from your usual race hustlers that want to stoke the flames, Silver will realize he made this decision with his heart, not his head.

But what a juicy headline it makes "Sterling vs. Silver" in an epic battle over all this power and money.

So all it takes is one recording of an owner or coach, hell even a player saying something like "I can't be around gay people. Or fat people. Or white/black/Asian people etc and they will get a life ban. Silver just set precedent I believe...

[crownshep]

That digity sure is importance.

Kobe used a homosexual slur.  I don't see how it's anything different from the racist talk. 

Kobe should be banned from NBA for life also.


Kobe Bryant, who was fined $100K for using a gay slur last year, scolds fans on Twitter for using same language
Bryant was fined $100,000 by the NBA last spring when, after being whistled for a technical foul in a nationally-televised game against the San Antonio Spurs, he called the referee a 'f------ f-----.' NBA commissioner David Stern called Kobe's comments 'offensive and inexcuseable.'

This could very well turn into the greatest politically correct dog and pony show we ever seen if this old man starts dropping documents.

People are taking 1 of 2 positions.  Either the punishment (for humiliating the NBA) is right, or it's wrong.

There's a 3rd position.   It's fine to ban him, since the code of ethics agreement of league dictates anyone that brings a level of ethical disgrace, etc.

however, they should be consistent.  If you're going to BAN people for home/private racist slurs, then you damn sure need to ban players that SCREAM homophobic slurs in public DURING A BASKETBALL game at an official.  

Kobe's words were much worse.  If the CEO of microsoft yelled f***ing f****t in the middle of a public meeting, he'd probably be fired.  Why does kobe only get a fine equal to 1/3 of a game check?  

Homophobic slur at :57
