How Are They Going To Force Sterling To Sell??

[scottcarter]

I'm not the nitwit who confused 600 million with 600 billion, so, maybe you'd better ask yourself that.

seriously? Now you want to make dozens of posts about that the fact i made a typo? Weird man.

 

[Acebb]

The NBA owners do not need to prove if he knew or didn't know that he was being recorded

You can't even grasp that "Willfully" has a definition

You typing this stupid bullshit is beclowning.

Remember, this is "complex" except when it is "not complicated"

Idiot.

 

[Acebb]

Remember, the dumb little kid is asserting that the NBA actually put a legal term into a legally binding document that doesn't mean what it says.

At least according to our resident idiot.

Actually they put it in terms where it doesn't matter whether he meant to do it or not...

13(d) Fail or refuse to fulfill its contractual obligations to
the Association, its Members, Players, or any other third party in such a
way as to affect the Association or its Members adversely.

Sterling's interview "apology" with Anderson Cooper was just as damaging and probably would be more appropriate for Silver to talk about. He attacked a prominent basketball ambassador, former coach, announcer, by inaccurately saying he had "Those AIDS"

Lol, that's according to federal/state laws. Not according to the NBA Constitution. The NBA owners do not need to prove if he knew or didn't know that he was being recorded. Means absolutely nothing according to their Association.

Like I said, you know very little about just everything. Lol. Willful in the context of the NBA Constitution simply means he committed an act that adversely affects the Association. They don't even need to prove it.

It's one thing to be completely ignorant but it's another thing altogether to take pride in it. It's comical how wrong you are.

You have shown your complete inability to comprehend even the most simple and basic legal concepts. Here you show you don't even know the definition of a simple word.

Just because you say something doesn't make it true. You just repeat nonsense and cite to nothing and assume its true. You're a lunatic.

I was incorrect about the meaning of willful in the context of this discussion. I'll admit that. I forgot article 13(d) didn't mention willful at all and the Constitution does not specify that the owners need to prove he willfully violated the NBA Constitution as the verbiage does not say he has to willfully violate the Constitution for the owners to kick him out.

"billions," not "millions," now "dozens of posts" instead of about two. Embellish much? I merely responded to you flappin' your gums when you made a mistake and tried to minimize it. If you want to actually REACH dozens of posts, we can certainly do that...or, you could STFU.

Him refusing to pay the fine isn't gonna help his cause, either. Maybe the old prick will do a Joe Paterno and die soon, but, in any event, he will NOT own the team at the start of next season, and when that happens, I'll be pointing it out to all these schmucks, just like you will...

Send this to the rubber room, what a disgraceful display of immaturity.

Thank you, even though The Rubber Room deserves better.

Back on topic, Sterling is a "scorched earth policy" kind of guy and is clearly dealing with dementia or substance abuse issues,maybe both. Reality is not on his menu, this could get very ugly.

I told you about 20 pages ago you had the context of willful incorrect and you just called me dumb. Now you admit it on page 34?

Nice. Carry on this discussion. It's interesting yet stupid all at once.

Well it's all a matter of semantics and I was using it incorrectly, I will admit that. Since the NBA Constitution is different than the court of law I figured their interpretation of willful intent does not have to be proven to kick him out. Therefore willful means...

deliberate, voluntary, or intentional

And the actions he committed, even though were private... were deliberate and voluntary and intentional. Where I will concede I was wrong was that his actions didn't "willfully" violate the NBA Constitution. Although he willfully acted like a racist. And the owners do not need to prove he willfully violated the NBA Constitution so I made the mistake of thinking the NBA has to prove he willfully committed actions that affected the NBA whether he meant to or not. So even though it's not a big deal, I understand how people will take it. So you can just take the "willfully" part out of my argument and it remains the same.

 

[Acebb]

While Sterling didn't willfully broadcast the comments that were taped in the girl's house, he certainly did with Anderson Cooper and made a fool of himself there. It will be interesting to see if Silver references those in the charges to the board of governors (if we get to find out what they are)

You are totally missing the point. It's not that his COMMENTS were deliberate, voluntary and intentional...that's not the issue. Willfully comes in when you discuss what the intentions of his comments were. Was he WILLFULLY attempting to disparage the NBA with those comments?

The answer is clearly "no."

How would this go down if Michael Jordan made the exact same comments Sterling did except about whites? What if he said it about Hispanics?

The LA Times has gotten a copy of the NBA charges against Sterling. NBA alleges:

Donald Sterling tried to persuade companion V. Stiviano to say the Clippers owner was not responsible for the inflammatory statements about blacks after a now infamous audio recording became public, according to the NBA’s 30-page formal allegation that the league is using to try and get Sterling removed as owner.

The charges, obtained by the Los Angeles Times, said that Sterling's attempt to alter Stiviano's statements was part of an effort by Sterling — aided by his wife, Shelly, and Clippers President Andy Roeser — to evade responsibility for the recording that has enveloped the Clippers owner in controversy for nearly a month.
...
The professional basketball league has given Sterling until May 27 to respond to the allegations and a voluminous set of declarations that accompany them. A hearing has been set for June 3 in which Sterling will be able to present his case to 29 other NBA owners, who can remove him by a three-fourths vote.

Just in case you weren't horrified enough by Donald & Shelly Sterling, the LA Times tells you how bad they really are. They sue anyone and everyone...

I now am a fan of Sterling. Need more old school in this "discrimatory" world. I envy the position he is in. Hopefully he uses it to expose the truth. The US was once a super power and could be again if we stop being so nice to those beneath us.
