Ha!

Let's make sure to remember this everyone another rich asshole parades around with a new, younger wife who OBVIOUSLY is with him because she loves him. *cough* Donald Trump *cough*

I find it hilarious the lack of awareness on the part of these idiots who think somehow these hot women are with them for anything more than their money. They're just high class prostitutes and they're all too willing to parade them around as trophies. Then they get pissed when they find out the girls never really liked them and that they may be a bit *GASP* untrustworthy.

But get that pussy Donalds. Just don't blame someone else if it comes with a side of public relations herpes.

Sound like you're jealous. Hate the game not the player.

Even though he's owned it for more than 30 years, he'll make at least 50x his initial investment of $12.5 million (it's probably more like 55x). So I don't think selling the team is much of a punishment, considering he's 81.

It's not his own business. The league owns the business. Donald Sterling is a franchisee.

Sterling owns the franchise though.

My thought was Silver invited himself some unnecessary trouble by saying the part about forcing the sale. Now, the obvious plan here is to make him continuing as owner untenable. And obviously they have a number of ways to go about that. On the other hand Sterling will have certain avenues of recourse (the usual anti-trust suits, etc) by saying that he can't get fair market value because of the situation and all the usual things that happen when sports leagues do things that are unique to sports leagues.

If it were me, and I get that some would view it as letting him off the hook, but, again, being racist isn't illegal per se... but if they want him gone, and I were the other owners, I'd do this... Take some recent valuation, whether that be those things that Forbes do, or some other one that happened before any of this happened, buy the franchise from him, and then put it up for sale themselves and then give him the difference if it sells for more. Or say half the difference of what might sell for more, that way the league has a profit motive to sell for a fair amount and on the other hand Sterling will be guaranteed a reasonable price. I'm sure there are a zillion moving parts to that, arena leases etc... but I think the quickest cleanest way out is in their best interest.

My thought. Boycott. If I'm a fan i don't go to the team, if I'm a player, i don't play. It's his team, as big of a piece of shit that he is forcing him to sell is overreaching. The thing is it's never been a secret to those in the inside circle that he's a bad guy I mean look, the dude is married and openly parades around a woman 55 years younger than him. Yes he's a bad guy but he hasn't broken the law. The only moral way to handle this is to not patronize his business. I'm sure he's got 10 lawyers working on this so we'll see how this plays out. I'm nt rooting for him necessarily, I'm rooting for this to be handled in such away that it doesn't set a bad precedent.

Yeah, I mean, if those things need to happen, they need to happen. I don't have a problem with it if the players don't show up at all... obviously advertisers will be running for the hills.

Yeah, I mean, you don't want to get where its, "You just said the N word, now give me all your stuff" - now, on the other hand you want to help him make the right "business" decision.... that's not forcing, that's helping him along... my concern is that the flip side of making 55 times his intial investment because he's 80 or whatever is that he's 80 and might not give a rats ass how much $ he loses.

What a gift Sterling presented to the other NBA team owners! They've long regarded him as "not suitable to be a member of the club," and now they have an excuse to kick him out formally.

I regard this as a circus absurdity, but it sure is amusing.

Who here has dibs on Ms. Stiviano? She looks like a fun fuck to me.

Well, she does seem to have a thing for old white guys.

How much you want to bet that she took a "dirty sanchez" for that condo by the Beverly Center. I'm sure those cars were worth at least a "pink sock".

the fact that this woman ILLEGALLY secretly taped a private conversation in the mans own home and turned it over to every media outlet and every media outlet took and ran with the ILLEGALLY obtained material basically enabling her criminal activity.....and that all of this is swept under the rug (the very illegal aspect) is a very dangerous precedent....but hey I guess as long as you catch someone doing something violating privacy is ok.....in soviet america
