" I WOULD SAY SEE U IN HEAVEN, BUT WE DON'T ALLOW SECOND CLASS PEASANTS UP HERE "
Lots of you guys are exposing yourselves in here.
Listen, Sterling is an @sshole and a racist...problems are this.
This dude is a BILLIONAIRE and can fight the NBA in a legal battle if he decides to.
Silver and crew are probably going to work around the clock this weekend all the way to Tuesday when they will make an announcement...I fully expect them to ban him from all arenas for the playoffs and a record setting fine...MAYBE in the millions
The only way they can do it is if the NBA has some sort of line in the agreement to becoming an owner that the league can outright BUY the team if they find an owner unworthy of owning a team AFTER a vote by the league.some of ya'll are acting REALLY stupid right now...
You ain't just gonna fire the owner of a team (if you even can without intense legal reprecussions and negotiations) in under 12 hours.
Who is "they?"They are a private organization. They can do with him whatever they please.
Because players get in trouble USUALLY for activity on the court thats OBVIOUS
OR
players aren't OWNERS BOUND IN COMPLEX LEGAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH ENTIRE TEAMS.
Player contracts ARE NOT OWNER CONTRACTS.
Are you really that fukking slow?
my mom is from africa, are you saying we're exempt from oppression in this country?
1. new commishfirst: chill trying to be a smart ass...we just having a discuss, and i'll tell you one time only: dont cross that line...
now, to continue with what you said:
umm, no...when players get in trouble for shyt allegedly off the court (which is what i'm talking about cause this is considered off the court), the league is quick to act or say something....they rather go too far going overboard and have to apologize later, than not saying/doing anything at all...and they do it all for the integrity and image of the league...
i know the difference between the contracts, but where did i say he had the sale the team in 12 hours?...all I've said is the only clean solution is he needs to sale the team asap....because anything else, doesn't do that....
also, you didn't answer the question: you keep saying he's gone, just be patient, but if the man has done and said shyt like this for the last 20+ years and is still the owner, what makes you think this time will be different?...cause they held a press conference?
came here with a dollar? nikka we come from one of the poorest countries in the world, nor did my mom speak a lick of english, how about you move to japan and see how far you get not speaking a lick of japanese.didn't say that....but your people came here with a dollar and a dream to get a small business loan and maintain your culture as the melting pot of america. Blacks trace it back to picking cotton and can't go beyond american culture. We got stripped and can't trace back like everyone else...we don't bring much of a long standing culture to the new world.....we had to create a culture from the mess.
Even now, the Prokorov shyt is looking suspect cause he was threatening to taken the business to moscow and shyt with all the increased Russian sanctions.The only way they can do it is if the NBA has some sort of line in the agreement to becoming an owner that the league can outright BUY the team if they find an owner unworthy of owning a team AFTER a vote by the league.
They do extensive background checks and I remember when Prokorov was trying to buy the nets that they extensively combed through his background for this very reason.
