Soundclick of full Bomani interview:
On top of this this man has a history of this sort of behavior and the NBA let him be an owner in the face of all that. Skip Bayless says it best here
Why was it ok back then but now people are so mortified by it? Why was the NBA cool letting such a known racist own a team? Were all the black players that played for that team c00ns? Was Kobe who flirted with signing with the team who's owner was a known racist a c00n back then for it?
Why are the players getting attacked now?

Don't let Mickey Mouse fool you. The only reason ESPN are going in now is because they finally realized how huge the situation is on a social level. Obama spoke on it, everyone is now weighing in on it, etc.. it's much bigger than sports. Don't forget how long they waited to report on it.
Also, now that the Clippers are losing sponsors ESPN and the NBA have to know this situation will not go away and they DO NOT want to be next. That's why I think they will have to act on Sterling and do something very substantial.
They won't do it out of respect for the black athletes or because of racism in general.. they will do it because they don't want to lose sponsors and viewership. Point blank.

Just saw on SC that the Miami Heat flipped their t shirts inside out and threw them on the ground at half court
LeBron!
You know he was behind this. It may be small, but at least they're backing the Clippers and showing unity within the players about this. If the sanctions tomorrow aren't harsh enough & more teams start doing this the NBA is going to have a real problem on their hands.
@ Bomani's diss to Magic having the monster.
Matt Kemp doesn't have a clue what racism is. It pisses me off so much too.
