This is top story on CNN & MSNBC. What about the 30+ people killed by tornadoes.
Are you saying those people killed are as important as the poor offended NBA folks represented by Rev. Al? What about their feelings?

Makes sense to me....[:o)]
Just because hes wealthy assuming, it shouldn't matter. We may not like it, but hes got the right to think or say what he wants. IMO[}:)]
So wat up wid dat? I spect it works both ways, unless you are a cracker.
I heard Magic J wants to buy the team. Do you think Magic and Sterlings girl friend may have cooked this a little? I think Sterling should close all his bank accounts associated with his ownership and stop paying those high priced primadonas.
Magic can change the name from LA Clippers to the LA Magic Aids....
Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are a lot more racist than this guy and no one has the testicles to call them out on it. Same old double standard. Being racist is not criminal unless you discriminate in specific situation's. Don't see where it applies here. Bad taste and not a good idea to get caught in his position maybe.
+1 just listen to the comments snoop dog made about him, yet no one is saying he is racist or should apologize.....[:(!]
As far as I know he didn't even use the N word he called them blacks?
On the other hand if they followed that same logic with the players their probably would be very few left.
If I can record a player using the N word or degrading a white person will they be banned for life?
I don't know how they got his phone call but it was a private conversation between a rich dude and his HO, as far as I know. Whoever released it should be charged for violating his privacy I thought recording a call was illegal without consent? It was not public comment he made, he should be able to sue and own the NBA.
I disagree with Banning him for life. Hell killers get less.

I havent investigated enough to form an opinion one way or other. But your comparing killers who broke a law and killed somebody vs a guy that didnt necessarily break a law, but did go against a private ogranizations values, morals, by laws etc. So to be honest if the private organization deems he is no longer a valued member of that organization or is damning to that organization I have no problem with what they did. If sterling believes he was treated wrong, then its a civil matter and he can pursue that approach.
In the end hes an owner of predominantly black team, whos going to want to work for him now. Number two his team is worth almost billion dollars, nice retirement check hes going to be sent packing with.
