Guilty conscious ? I didnt quote you "pal". If the shoes fit though dont blame me
Id rather keep the focus on relevant topics instead of talking about each other. I know nothing about you. Could be a great guy. Lets keep it that way

Ballinouttacntol I have a question for you.
What should be done when a player kills someone ? Breaks the law? Beats his wife? Gets caught CHEATING with drugs?
What do you think should happen to them ?

My thought as well. I think the forced sale was a little harsh. I was watching TNT the other night and Charles Barkley was shocked that Sterling had a lifetime ban. I would have been fine with a big fine, a loss of draft pick and suspension for Sterling but these penalties would have been petty for Sterling. I read the $2.5 millions fine for Sterling was like $55 to an average working American. I think more penalties on the Clippers would have punished the players, when it's clearly the owner's fault. $2.5 millions is the maximum amount the NBA could fine. IMO the NBA should have barred active control of the Clippers for 1 year. During that time, he should have seek some type of rehab if that even exist and do some community or charity work/expenses. He could also have had a chance to be a minority owner of the Clippers. I think his ex-wife is able to retain some part of the team's stakes, but I'm pretty sure she will be selling them in the near future.
Problem is, the NBA doesn't want anything to do with racism and don't think a changed Sterling would make everybody forget about him. The NBA just wanted to wipe out and get rid of Sterling for any public backlash.
The NBA also wanted to get rid of Sterling in the past but could not find any ground to do so. His history of racism didn't directly interfere with the NBA and the league didnt have a solid reason to get him out. And now with the comments he made about feeding players and not to bring minorities to games, the league was able to find a reason to get him out under their by laws contract. With his recent comments, the NBA won't be afraid to lose in courts against him. The league already knew what to do with him by kicking him out, the hardest part was to find out if the league stands a chance against Sterling in court. His ex-gf might have just set him up, she looks like an escort that you pay for a dirty con job.

Thats where I am basing my opinion on. Celebs publicly say stuff all day. Lets take music and they way rap belittles women. I see that just as bad as racism but nothing is done except the opposite (its promoted and then made into a video). People pick and choose when to play "cop". A heafty fine or something positive should have been the result imo.
Why are we comparing laws broken to rules? If you kill you go to prison, if you beat your spouse, the OWNER of said franchise can do whatever they see fit, if you cheat with drugs you face predetermined punishments. Its pretty cut and dry to me. Youre still on some wack hypocrite angle that is irrelevant to sterling losing his team.
Ill even answer a different question, people who invade your privacy should get sued and face legal charges. Nba didnt invade his privacy. Sterling got caught up in se drama with a triffling girlfriend and got burned. Nba owners found an angle to rid them self of a bad owner (from a winning and business stanf point) and theyre exploiting it. The difference between you and i is i think hes getting what he deserves while you seem to care about his invaded privacy by a third party and how it applies to regular citizens like you and i.

So are you for or against mike Vick being allowed to play football again ?

Vick answered for his crimes,was thrown in jail for a period of time so that's kind of a no brainer.
I agree but its not a no brainer. Im curious to what he thinks and if he will answer it honeslty
