Should Donald Sterling be stripped of team ownership in the NBA?

Of course this is a legal matter.

CONTRACT DEFINITION


An agreement creating obligations enforceable by law. The basic elements of a contract are mutual assent, consideration, capacity, and legality. In some states, the element of consideration can be satisfied by a valid substitute. Possible remedies for breach of contract include general damages, consequential damages, reliance damages, and specific performance.

I believe the bet you agreed to was that "if the collective owners have the votes and Sterling and his wife/family are removed as owners - I LOSE".

In this case the owners may not even be voting and AGAIN...Need to wait and see if DS and his wife/family are removed as owners. Nothing about controlling interest. Just that they would be gone, gone, gone, lol. Look, if Donald and Shelly retain no ownership of the team and are forced out by the NBA...by all means...I will uphold my end of the bet. I've been looking at some cool Clipper's avatars (for you, haha), but if things don't go my way...hey, saves me the trouble...

your gonna keep moving the goalposts until you"don't lose" fine ..do the right thing and back out... nobody (except maybe you)is thinking that STERLING is "winning" anything by losing control and managing interest in the team...you are starting to strike me as more interested in "being right " than actually seeing the real outcome here

Not the state/federal law bs you and other members were spewing. Thinking he couldn't be forced to sale. Thinking the private convo was inadmissable. Thinking he has some protected rights that the state or federal laws could save him, that his freedom of speech was violated. That the NBA needed more reasons

No, clearly not the case now was it?

so in other words you are arguing AGAINST info you know is true? if STERLING'S wife is part of the BAN and you know this ...how come you just quoted in your own defense of position SHE WAS NOT?

It's like talking to a wall. The only reason the NBA constitution exists and has any power to enforce anything written within its by-laws is because it is protected by the state and federal laws that allow said contract/constitution to be legally enforced. I don't get what is so hard to understand. The NBA is not a sovereign entity...when the NBA constitution was written...common sense would dictate that the lawyers/owners wanted to make sure that their constitution was LEGAL in all aspects of the LAW so that it would be ENFORCEABLE. You think that the NBA by-laws and the state and federal laws that protect it are mutually exclusive...when in fact they are not. Simple as that...look it up, seriously.

dude is really concerned about "being the source" on this subject ...the fact that he is 100+%wrong on the whole deal doesn't seem to deter him in the least... he has resorted to misquoting his own posts in his zeal to "be right" ..It is getting more and more amusing to watch him contradict his own info and previous posts ... he's hanging himself in public ...and we get to watch...

 

[rmkblades]

Lee, how about we just wait and see. A bet is a bet...I don't need to back out and would hope you don't either. In the end....like you said...it's about winning. So let's not be sore winners or losers before the fat lady sings. Deal?

It's a moot point if he's not going to take it to court to fight guys. The arguement was based on if the courts would uphold state/federal law vs. the voluntary foregoing of those laws when signing the ownership contract of the NBA. There have been many, many cases overturned stating that no matter the contract, you can not willing give up those rights. Other times the contract was enforced. Nothing like that has been overturned in sports before (that I'm aware of at least) so it would have been interesting to see how the courts ruled.

But as I said, moot point if he won't fight it in court.
