But he hasn't been doing a good job. The Clippers have been total shit and the laughing stock of the NBA for all but the last 5yrs he has owned the team. He doesn't care about winning, only making money. That alone doesn't make him a good owner

I think he should just pay for our mods and we will forgive him and move on.

The Clippers have always been the redheaded stepchild of L.A. The Lakers are where it's at!

Sterling takes the Jerry Jones approach to owning a team. Keep the team high profile and make money off of all the merchandise and TV rights. They talk about winning because that is what fans want to hear, but they really don't give a shit.

About the racist old man, I find it funny that people are so worked up about this. I have been called more racist names by black people then you could imagine. I had a guy try to get 10 bucks worth of gas from me one day and because I didn't I was a racist piece of shit. Well that's what he said I was and then took off when my dumb ass started chasing him. Also how in the fuck is something that was illegally recorded in his own home being used to force him to sell his team and being banned from the sport. I can't wait to see what happens in court because this rich old fucker isn't going to give up easily.

Here is the real question. If this would have been a black player or owner talking about a white person would there be any suspension?

Honestly from what I have seen, Black people exercise more racism openly than any other demographic. Black people are actually racists towards other Black people. I honestly can't stand the majority of my race. Hell many of them call me White for all sorts of reasons from the way I dress, to the way I speak. That's a whole 'nother thread though.

I agree completely that his personal phone conversation should be kept private. That cuntbag and the media making that public should be sued. I did get some insight though that once the NBA started losing major sponsors, from that standpoint it does make sense to fire him. Losing sponsors means, losing money ALL around.

Him getting banned had nothing to do with legal or illegal

Legal or illegal has nothing to do with it. The NBA cares about its image and keeping the money train rolling. There is no way they were going to tolerate an owner accused of being a racist and the NBA doing nothing appearing to condone it. Especially, when the majority of players are black who fill the seats and sell merchandise every night.

I don't think I have heard the entire recording but from what I have heard so far wasn't as bad as everybody is making it out to be. I haven't heard the "N" word or anything like that. Seems like he just doesn't want his girlfriend hanging out with black people. Again I haven't heard the entire thing.

It's reverse ethnocentrism. Stupid people in the world.

I was the right move for a new commissioner though. In one decision, he has won over all the players in the NBA...something David Stern also wasn't great at. Needless to say, Silver made the right business decision in order to make his employees happy and keep the money coming in.

Go Spurs Go

Banned for life...the man is 80 something yrs old. He only has a few yrs left

2.5 mill fine to a 1.9 billionaire with over 100 mill in liquid cash is like one of us losing $200. We'll be mad, but oh well life goes on.

The man has accomplished everything he has sought to do. He probably got that snitching mistress making a breakfast sandwich butt-naked right now.

What he has said and done over the yrs to minorities is absolutely horrible, but I really do hate that his privacy was invaded like that. Rich, famous people need to invoke the Derek Jeter rule at all times...no exceptions.

That's my 2 cents
