Easy, he signed a document created by the nba. Wether it was at the time of purchase or later he signed it. All the majority owners vote, if there is a 75% against him, he must sell the team. I explained to one of my employees who doesn't follow sports as to buying a condo. It's your condo but you must still follow all the condo associate rules.
It's business man. When you represent an organization, you are held to a different standard. Like a church leader cheating, a CEO getting arrested for drinking and driving. This happens all over the country at the local level. Just imagine how much more it is amplified at the national/global level. His comments are just something that the NBA can't move on from. This was the only thing they can do to protect their brand, because he comments were very very bad for someone who is an owner of a predominantly black league.
TRUTH, and that is the real problem.
Spot on.
huh? what the heck does that have to with this story? geez
you sound like someone that listens to media and how they tell you things should be. As if people living today are somehow supposed to pay for the injustices of the past. I never discriminate on race. Never have never will. I have more friends that aren't white even though I am. Sounds like you agree with affirmative action which to me, and millions of others, is racism.
I thought the NBA's response was very appropriate, anything less wouldn't have been enough. Just goes to show that free market solutions work far better than statist solutions. Had the state stepped in and did this or fined him, I'd be firmly against it, but the NBA has every right to protect their brand. Some here may be against it, but social, and free market consequences are impossible to ignore. Doing nothing, or little, would not only be detrimental the Clippers brand, but detrimental to the entire league. If a McDonald's franchise owner had come under the same circumstances, we'd probably see the same results, or they'd watch their profits plummet. You can't regulate stupidity, but that doesn't mean being stupid wont have social, and free market consequences.
I'll wear a name tag that says my job is SLAVE for a $1M house, $200k car, and basically VIP status every where that you go. Hell for a Christmas Bonus, I'll even answer by "Yes, Masta!"
Why because you haven't personally experienced it?!?
