"Sterling Reportedly Has Alzheimer’s"

[applegrove]

5. But you are still responsible for your actions when you have altzheimers or any other mental illness

You need treatment, sure. I had a grandfather who was so upset when he got put on a ward of a hospital when he had altzheimers' that he assaulted his roommate. He ended up in a psychiatric hospital for the rest of his life. So he could not do more damage. And it was a nice place. They had more resources than an altzheimers' ward in a nursing home. So it worked out well. But he had to be isolated from other patients and he was. Donald Sterling's wife has control of the team and she is selling it. So no more damage can be done. And I'm sure he will be taken care of (there are systems in place I'm sure to make sure a rich man will not be exploited by anyone, including family, when he is declared incompetent). And he will get medical care. And treatment (there is treatment). But he can't lead/own the team where he did so much damage. I think the NBA is stepping back from taking the team away from Sterling and letting his wife sell it unpressured. That is the best thing for everyone.
