Saw that. That can't be real, right?

It came from TMZ.

It's fake.

Right?

Apparently, not. NBA Commissioner came out and had a press conference about it. Some of the players thought about striking.

I think it's time for a terrible goal to get let up by MAF

Won't happen -- he's been catalysted really hard, now that Kris Letang scored into an empty net

Sterling was born more than 60 years ago.

If you really want to read about a (frank)ed up owner, read about Marge Schott. She owned a team in the 90s. Not even that long ago.

This guy needs to get banned from the league. There's no question.

no way a man should get banned from the league for his words we have freedom of speech in this country now if he infringes on someone else's rights that's another story

He didn't say he should go to jail. Sterling can say whatever he likes, but what he says has repercussions. Does the NBA want to be associated with a racist owner? I'm pretty sure the other owners don't want that. They have the power to force him out.

So if at your job you spout racist hate speech, you don't think you'd be fired? You think freedom of speech would protect you from being fired?

depends on what the rules of the job are
considering he OWNS a team and isn't a random employee that doesn't mean poop

so you can't fire someone for being gay but you can fire someone for speaking his mind in private mind you he was illegally taped so that can't be used against him in any court

I think we all pretty much think the same things about Giroux, but don't necessarily exactly agree on how to express it. Good?

That's right, it depends on the rules of the job. It has nothing to do with the US constitution

Sterling OWNS the team he makes the rules. I find it hilarious that everyone doesn't know Sterling's history. This isn't the first time this has happened to him. An oh he's such a racist he pays black people millions of dollars to shoot a ball in a hoop. boo hoo people just want to find things to complain about these days
