This all reminds me of a "Saturday Night Live" skit during the 1984 Presidential election, where Regan won every state but Mondale's home state of Minnesota. The skit showed members of Mondale's team at rally, with a map of the US and Minnesota brightly highlighted, talking excitedly about how solidly ahead they were there(and overlooking the obvious fact that Minnesota wasn't gonna be quite enough to carry them over the top, lol). Same with these clowns: it's all over but the shouting, but they still cling to the desperate hope that they were right, and we were wrong.

<:laughingbTo paraphrase the casino owner in "Casablanca," I'm shocked-SHOCKED-that the Sterlings have backed down from their oft-repeated threat of a lawsuit. Even the Mother of All Trolls has slunk back down his rat hole, seems only the brain dead racist is still talking shit(and making a complete and utter fool of himself while doing so). What happened to that big mouth SEC guy? Gone like a fart in the wind...
They are in full hiding. Got to respect those like Cyyyk though. Takes balls to admit when someone you dislike is right. But the rest of them will never admit wrong. They'll just go on the next topic that they believe they understand and think they have a clue. It's hilarious to see them work (and by them it's the select few that know who they are... not everyone). But, it was fun.
which is what I said would be a likely outcome
he's bought out on favorable terms, there's no litigation
watch out Seymour, you're venturing into racist territory
yep, I called it to a T
bought out on favorable terms, financial windfall, no vote by the owners which would have set themselves up for costly litigation lest they never made a disparaging remark in a private conversation.
people who thought there would be a 29-0 vote don't really know the legal system all that well. You can't vote to remove somebody for doing something you yourself have done, you can't force a partner out of the partnership for ethical violations if all or most or many of the other partners have committed ethical violations using the low standard you set.
Sterling walks away with more than twice the FMV of the franchise. I'm thinking other owners he's friends with and his family talked some sense into him. (1) take the money (2) don't put your friends in the league through a nightmare, you may lose friends.
I think his recently disclosed "mental incapacity" opens the door to remove the lifetime ban when things settle down. Can't do it just yet, would smell too fishy and there's still a lot of hate (oh the irony).
If the offer was for 1 billion dollars or less, I doubt we have such a convenient resolution.
PS: my two posts cited above were posted 5/5 and 5/7, long before the 2 billion dollars were put on the table

Good call. Reminds me of this also.
