I’m glad to see that the NBA stood up to Donald Sterling. That kind of racism has no place in today’s world, and it’s good to see him get the punishment he so richly deserves.

PLEASE will someone please buy my old car for 1 Million dollars if my ex girlfriend illegally records me telling her not to bring her black boyfriends to my place of work? PLEEEEEEEASE!?Report
Everything is worth what it’s purchaser will pay for it.Report
That the Clippers are apparently worth two billion dollars is testament to:
A) The vastly improved product put on the field since Sterling has not been in operational control of player personnel and coaching decisions;
B) The tremendously successful work done by the NBA as a whole to ubiquitize its entertainment product (as opposed to anything Sterling has done);
C) Cause for Lakers fans to gasp in astonishment;
D) All of the above.Report
E) Sterling being forced to sell before he managed to ruin its value in spite of A and B. And you know how capable he was of that.Report
I will go for D and E.Report

I don’t know about “justice.” Sadly it sounds like Sterling is not mentally competent.
