The NBA is an association. The owners likely have to sign a contract that explains how they must conduct business according to the leagues specifications.
They probably could have dropped the Clippers from the league if they wanted to.
That would have totally ruined the business. He's lucky he only got a 2.5 million dollar fine.
Yes, the real threat to him is the sponsors pulling out not this tiny fine (by his measure)... Those sponsors are of course just using their right of association

I love it. When all else fails, attack the messenger.
I love it. When you have nothing to substantively disagree about accuse other people of attacking the messenger..
Dude pretty much *EVERYONE* here said the guy is a schmuck, a bigot, and should lose his team. Everyone here is on board with the market forces hirting this guy.
The fact this woman is (1) odd looking, (2) a gold digger, and (3) someone who would take money to sleep with a married man is fair game for comments.
This is a case where *everyone* involved is shame worthy.
But I will compliment you for not calling her a victim... That's progress..
So posting those pictures isn't an attempt to deflect attention away from the racist owner?
No, just calling attention to someone that may have actually broken a law.
The NBA isn't a law enforcement body...they simply enforce their own rules.

In California it would be illegal is Sterling wasn't aware that he was being taped.

There's almost 400 posts about the owner on here... 5 posts about his ugly gold digger isn't a deflection. She looks good for an 80 year old man, but not one that makes over $40,000 a year.

Just making sure, Drew. Nobody was claiming that the Clippers or NBA should address what she did if the law was broken.

RE: NBA's LA Clippers owner is in deep over racist tirade
I can't help but think that so many of these self interested folks feigning outrage are doing so because they are more than happy to divert attention away from themselves and are really just happy they didn't get caught saying anything like it.
Self interested outrage doesn't impress me.

Just like anyone else that wants "equality," you just can't find the right "yes or no" answer, can you.
You, and others like you, want a certain kind of equality, one that means the state of certain people being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities while pushing "others" (not so important to you) to the side.
I, and others like me, want the kind that doesn't JUST include certain people, but instead, includes every American. That's why I knew you couldn't answer my simple yes or no question.
"Bad things happen to bad people" is just your way of calling those who you push off to the side bad.
