Actually, you posted what was laughably supposed to be a fake pays stub and a phony W2 in what were rather pathetic attempts to show you "make $120K!"

Because when lying is who you are and what you do.

You keep saying they were fake. That's you making shit up again. My income has nothing to do with your inability to grasp basic financial concepts. Regardless of how much I make you still thought you couldn't liquidate a mutual fund because it's liquid.

That's a kind of stupid that is just beyond my ability to deal with. You need an elementary teacher that can help you out with some of this stuff.

How much does Taco Bell pay these days?

This whole thing is so ridiculous.

When you say something in the privacy of your home and it is recorded without your consent, it should not be able to be used against you. I mean, where do you draw the line? If I said I'd really like to bang these two hookers in the ass in my house, am I detrimental to the league.

Second, it is not illegal to be racist. I like white people, black people, orange people, gay people, straight people, etc... I don't discriminate and have all sorts of friends, but it is not illegal to not like a certain group.

Three, All these guys are being paid millions of dollars. You can say whatever you want about slightly overweight beer drinking white guys if you want to pay me $10M per year.

Sean, you make valid points, but you are smart enough to know this is more about perception than anything else. Also, if the owner were racist, I would want to play for him. I am taking money from the racist, weaken his financial strength. Give me a break with the I am not playing bullshit. These mother fuckers, including LBJ, will all play. Nobody is missing games checks because of Sterling.

You are fucking right. How many people who were minorities quit working for Texaco when the Texaco Tapes came out?

Everything at the end of the day is about money.

If I were making 8 figures I probably wouldn't care what some old jewish guy thinks as long as consensus opinion was to remove him, I wouldn't even think about boycotting.

However, wtf does "weaken his financial strength" mean? He is getting paid every time you step on the court.

You see how many endorsers have pulled out. Collect $19M from him like Blake is doing instead of walking away in protest. With the number of companies pulling out him Sterling still on the books for those contract. Taking from racist to pad your own finances.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't protest either and the players aren't.

Just the way you said it I didn't get.

I disagree. I think Lebron is a cool guy, if he were going to boycott, he follows the footstep of Martin Luther King Jr for a good cause. I totally understand and support his decision to blow away $30 million annual take home income in order to keep MLK legacy alive.

Thank you.

He wanted $25K from John Lucas for an appearance at charity event. Trust me, LBJ is all about the money.

the NBA knew full well that sterling had been legally found guilty of discrimination on rental properties. but they wanted money, so they let him in. the NBA figured not many people knew that. but now that the cat is out of the bag, they act outraged and become hypocrites to save face with fans and players. they should have known by his past he was a loose cannon and something could happen. it is all about the new politically correct NBA. personally, i think refusing to rent property to certain people is a much more heinous deed than what was on those tapes. it's always about money and image, never real issues.

Again, a high percentage of nba players manage to live paycheck to paycheck even while making 7-8 figures.. They ain't missing any games.

i worded my last post wrong. sterling has owned the clippers forever. i meant to say the NBA looked the other way in his rental property discrimination charges and never said boo about it because nobody would have bought the clippers and it wasn't a national issue. image and money. sorry for not wording that the proper way.
