[AUDIO] Donald Sterling - "Don't bring black people to my games" [AGREES TO SELL TEAM]

[KingJudah]

I said they shoulda boycotted too since the tapes came out but them not playing wouldve ultimatelty led to this anyway..what else u think they shouldve done?

Boycott until the owners throw Sterling to the wolves.

I don't know the contours of the NBA arbitration agreement, but arbitrators have wide latitude in how they do things. I would never make a sure bet on that. As far as the tapes go, just because it cannot be used against him legally, it does not mean that the owners cannot bring it up. There is nowhere in the constitution that they say that the evidence is only evidence that would be otherwise permissible in court. He lost, plain and simple.

If I remember correctly, the arbitration clause in the NBA Constitution is bounded by the FAA rules. They do have wide latitude, but the thing is this tape wouldn't even be admissible in regular litigation. I think there's a good chance an arbitrator would allow it to be admissible.

 

[George's Dilemma]

I'm glad he's banned but if every cac was being recorded in a private setting then there would be very few white people employed.

Exactly how I feel. Hell, to be fair, a lot of Black people and anybody else for that matter would be in the hot seat with HR if their private conversations were recorded as well. If Indians and Asians were forced to speak English when around English only speaking people, they'd be in trouble too. As far as Sterling is concerned, it couldn't have happened to a better person, but damn it makes me uneasy considering all the nonsense I've said throughout the years. Lot of people loving this, but if they were under the same microscope, there's a possibility they'd be uneasy to say the least.

Why you trolling now man?

lol, im being trolled

you think a lifetime ban of an owner who is risking 29 other owners money is a bigger statement than players sitting out a game?



you can't possibly be serious

you do realize the reason sterling got a lifetime ban is because owners were scared of players boycotting right?

 

[No Homo]

Boycott until the owners throw Sterling to the wolves.

not mad at that either

 

[lutha]

Nah, they needed to let Silver cook.

It was taken care of after him and his team combed through everything they can do.

sitting out wouldve let silver cook, he just wouldve had to cook faster....they wouldnt have needed 72 hours to do this...he wouldve called an emergency owner's meeting the next day....

 

[wild100sboy]

The callers on Francesa are so racist. I love how mad they're.

Two minutes of listening and a Farrakhan reference

what this on? radio show? link?

He did it fast enough IMO. You guys are just bytching about a whole lot of nothing at this point.

This whole result is the slaves begging another plantation owner to intervene on their behalf, instead of killing the slavemaster family ( figuratively in this case of course)

 

[NYC Rebel]

Good lord the free speech crowd are so fukking dumb.

i didn't realize the team had already been sold



the only reason sterling got a lifetime ban is because the players have been very vocal about the situation and silver knows they would boycott

that shows you how powerful a statement a boycott would have made

them boycotting would have obviously led to the same end, but it would have looked better for blacks because our players would have grabbed their nuts and made this happen themselves instead of waiting for the commissioner to save the day

yep
