This crap from Donald Sterling has been going on for YEARS! He has paid the two LARGEST fines in history because of who he DOESN'T want renting his sleaze-bag apartments.
And what did the NBA do in 2003 and again in 2006? They YAWNED!
Hell, they CONDONED what he was doing!!! His "buddy" David Stern handed him Chris Paul on a silver platter. Here you go Donnie! You keep on being the racist you are. I'll go out there and tout how diverse the NBA is and ROYALLY screw the fans in Seattle by moving their team to Oklahoma City for no real reason at all!!
I thought Adam Silver lowered the boom as much as his bosses will let him do, which basically is very little. All the money for tonight's game will STILL go into Donald's pockets. His $2.5 million fine is the equivalent of $1.95 for the rest of us.
David Stern left Adam Silver with a HUGE mess to clean up with one Donald Sterling. But honestly, you think the only owner in the NBA who thinks and acts like that is the one who owns the Clippers?! I hope Mr. Silver is able to make an owner like White Donald Sterling just go away and take away the thing he wants most - being an NBA owner. And I hope the other owners back Adam Silver and give him the votes to go do.
That said, the time for outrage was in 2003 & again in 2006. David Stern COMPLETELY dropped the ball - TWICE! Yet, I hear very few voices who are saying "Thank you, David Stern, for kicking the can down the road and waiting for Donald Sterling to go all Donald Sterling and embarrass the league." The Angel of Stern seems to be getting a free pass here, and that really bothers me. It bothers me that he had all the information from when Sterling had to paid the two largest fines in HUD history; he had all the information from when Elgin Baylor sued him for wrongful termination & stated under oath all the things Donald Sterling was doing to make his job BEYOND miserable. Sterling should've been forced to sell in 2003, and he's been able to keep on doing what he does best (be a scumbag racist) for 11 years longer than he should have.
