Donald Sterling and his comments

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
Yes, that is extremely troubling but you know "OMG. he's a waaaaaycisssssss" so it's totally justified

I'm not sure if they were convicted of crimes but two players that come to mind are Gilbert Arenas and Metta World Peace (you know the guy that went into the stands to fight fans).

Also Bleacher Report but http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1113017-the-biggest-criminal-records-in-the-nba/page/9

Can I get a face palm?
Look up the meaning of "soviet". I don't think it is what you're aiming for here.
Apparently, Mr. Tokowitz wanted all of his conversations taped due to his failing memory. You know what they say--if you ain't got something nice to say about somebody you probably shouldn't freakin' tape it.

I think the problem is that there are some true racists like my stepfather who once told me to never listen to nigger music in his house ever again (I was listening to David Soul) and hate all blacks regardless and then you have the other side of the spectrum that believe that all POC are wonderful human being and if they do act up it's because of white oppression and go batshit nuts and start flinging their feces on you if you suggest otherwise while us in the middle who just call it like it is, if we dare suggest anything even slightly negative about POC we're cast of with the true racists and told that we need to check our privilege. I refuse to be bullied, I speak my mind and i'll fight to the death to say what i have to say, that's it, not taking anymore crap from the extremists.

Let me preface this by saying that Donald Stirling is scum in every sense of the word. He is your perfect example of an arrogant elitist racist pr_ck. He's such a piece of shit he probably moderates those easy to use ESPiN Boards or something.

However, I don't think anyone should be applauding the NBA owners. They allowed Donald Stirling to basically keep his franchise in ruins for decades without any repercussions and profited from his ineptitude. This might have been the excuse to remove him, but if they truly felt that he was a detriment to the league, they should have done it long before this scenario came to fruition.

So the mob puts a label on someone and they get voted off the island.

That's easy to live with until the mob puts one on you.

I don't share this guys views on race but bigots < mobs on my evil scale.
