Whoa...

They banned that Sterling racist piece of poop, for life.

Also, not sure how they can do that. The legal process will have to take its course.

Look at all the (frank)s I'm not giving.

It was probably booked a year ago. Whether they book a graduation ceremony or a show, what's the difference?

You can move a ceremony to another venue much easier than a concert.

kind of stunning that you can do this to someone for comments they make in private to be honest with you.

I think either way advertisers would have eventually forced him to sell the team.

then call 911 and eat poutine!!!!>!>!> and smoke cigarettes

still better than beating your wife and not really understanding how the letter "ah" works.

What is he banned from actually? Going to the games? The guy owns the team.
I really don't get how they can enforce that or apply that.

Can they force him to sell?

At least we won't hear about him going to the Habs all summer long after Vanek bails.

Les autres propriétaires de la NBA ont le pouvoir de forcer Donald Sterling à vendre son équipe, dit le commissaire Adam Silver

Et ben.

Well, they were pulling out like Fred on a first date. The NAACP decided not to give him their "MOY" prize, though how he was in line for it is beyond me.

As for the legal side, that she recorded the calls is illegal in CA. The prosecutor can go after her for that. But bottom line is, it's out there regardless and the NBA had no choice but to act swiftly and harshly - and they did.

Banned from games/practices.

They'll "recommend" that he sells the team.

Oh good, an Andrew Berkshire piece. This should be objective, rational, and completely based in fact.

It sucks that he never came though because the old fart can play still play.

Likely not. But the pressure the other owners and such will put on him, will probably leave him no choice. Also, he 81 - what does he care?

They say they're awaiting 20 000 people.

TD Garden only seats about 17,500.

In Boston, they couldn't give enough tickets away to fill a 20,000+ venue when the team struggles and loses its band wagoners in droves.

The owners have the authority, subject to 3/4 vote, to remove Sterling as an owner.

Well, in the NHL, the BOG decides who will be an owner and who won't.

I guess they can also force someone to sell a team.

I think some lawyer on the radio this morning was saying kinda that. eventually he probably won't have a choice to sell but if they push him too hard to do it he can litigate and he gets to ties it up in court for years.



either way it's basketball so in the end who really gives a (frank).

what other choice was there? the NBA, of all leagues, cannot afford to be associated with the guy, culturally and financially. he optics are beyond nightmarish.

He's 81 and a billionaire. He could litigate till he dies just for kicks.
