Donald Sterling Is A Democrat

[islandman]

The math has been done. Sterling is worth $1.9 Bln and he's being fined $2.5 Mln

That's the equivalent to a $51 fine to somebody who makes $100k/yr

What's your opinion of black people?

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Doesn't matter. The second the value of his team starts to decline, he'll sell faster than you can make excuses for him. And, he'll be known as a racist forever.

Welcome to capitalism. Ain't it grand?

In this society, none of our skin colors are more equal than the color of money.

This fucker, who won't ever eat less than three squares a day until he croaks, is going to go through Beverly Hills on his strolls knowing he's toxic. And all his money won't ever change that fact, or change the fact that people will fuck with him only because they wanna milk his cow. This was already true and in praxis, but now everyone in the world is in view of it.

And when you're an old, sloppy-looking shitstain who needs to shell out major lucre to get younger, good-looking ass to stick around and fuck you...this fucks everyone else who's just like him.

The person who lives best socially is the one who's rich and silent. Can't do that shit no more. The age of social media and technology is a bitch for old world fuckers.

That's not really fair since you mixed methods of measurement. A person making 100k a year is worth considerably more than that (most likely) in assetts. Like wise Sterling is worth 1.9 billion but I'm certain he doesn't make that much annually.

Really? is that how rich people are supposed to live?

Don't know about "supposed."

I know how one lives best. When you got oodles and boodles of money.

Otherwise every rich bitch on the planet would be in full sight. You think Sterling wanted scrutiny?

 

[sigh]

If you own a NBA team, what exactly does it mean to be banned for life? What is it that he's banned from doing? (Assuming the other owners let him keep his team, of course.) They can't ban him from making money on his team.

I guess he'll never get into the Hall of Fame now. That's one thing.

Perhaps not scrutiny but I do think from what I've read that he loved being in the spotlight.

In Sterling's case, probably another 5-10 years

Vettebigot never came back to his thread? That's a shocker, isn't it?

And when you're someone like him, in his position and at his age, social legerity is worth more than gold. Staying in the castle ain't much of a life.

It's going to be interesting to see who stays with that team at season's end, free agents aside.

I get the damage to his reputation, and even to the future of his team, but those damages had incurred before the NBA ban. His sponsors ran screaming to the hills almost immediately and his comments were all over all the media, liberal and conservative, as fast as the stories could be typed. So in a real sense, what did the ban add to that? He can't go to games. ......... Is that it?

Sometimes when one has it all, the worst thing that can happen is to be told you're not welcome, or appreciated, or liked.

Okay. They pissed on his foot. It's something you don't forget.

I'm looking forward to next week when we've moved on to another startling bit of news and I can go back to never thinking about this man.

No.

He can't have anything to do with the team. Can't decide who to sign, who to draft, who to trade....etc. Can't have any contact with the General manager, & can't attend any team functions.

I bet he's regretting messing around with a woman young enough to be his great granddaughter. A more age appropriate woman wouldn't have known how to make such a recording

 

[JohnnySavage]

... What Sterling had to say is of no great consequence to anyone in particular. As over the top as it was, no one's life or the course of history is going to change.

What he said had no bearing on party affiliation either, unless you want to apply the logic normally reserved for a child of 6. You're implication by the thread title is roughly akin to my saying, "Ted Bundy was a democrat AND Ted Bundy was a serial killer. Therefore, by implication, all democrats are serial killers." I'm sure you can see how fucking ridiculous that chain of logic is, just like yours.

...

Ishmael

I agree, but I don't think it's appropriate to say Vette has the logic of a 6 year old child. He's old and I think his logic problems may be the onset of alzheimer's, which isn't something I'd wish to joke about.

[Beco]

What is he going to argue, a constitutional right to own an NBA team? He entered into a voluntary association, and agreed to abide by it's by laws. Miles's he can get a court to invalidate those by laws, there isn't much he can do. And I have to think that the NBA has employed some pretty sharp lawyers in putting them together.

He's sued and been sued before. He'll fight it.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

I'm not certain on the "insane" part as I'm hearing that if 3/4ths of owners vote to have him removed, he can be forced to sell his team. Sterling ostensibly agreed to that provision upon purchase of the Clippers or its ratification subsequent to his purchase, so....the NBA and its owners are within their rights to force additional concessions.

The NBA knows how it makes its money and who its star attractions are. Sterling is the easiest to be disposed of.

He didn't agree to that.

The NBA bylaws aren't public but it's accepted that an owner can be forced to sell only if he was gambling on games, or he was running the team into deep bankruptcy.

Didn't agree to what?


And, then why is every news outlet reporting that if three-quarters of the other owners agree, Sterling can be forced to sell the Clippers?

 

[Queersetti]

Yeah, he might. That doesn't mean he'll prevail. His best move, it seems to me, would be to cut his losses and get gone.

I think it's an "if" situation.

There's supposedly something in the bylaws about if an owner does something "detrimental to the league". I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if that vague wording would hold up in court.

What I find interesting is, will the owners give away a big chunk of their power?

I swear to God, I have no idea what you're talking about other than secret bylaws that you seem to have a lot of insight into.

Someone else explain his points to me.

NBA bylaws are not public, so no one really knows what's in them. All we have to go on are what sports & entertainment lawyers have said in the press. Tulane has a law professor who has gone on record with all of this. Feel free to look it up.
