In reply to the discussion: Donald Sterling's antitrust suit against NBA adds new wrinkle to saga [View all]SunSeeker
(58,448 posts)He signed what amounted to a morals clause with the NBA in order to buy the team. If they decide he has brought disrepute to the NBA, they can force him to sell, per that contract.
He does not deny he said those words, albeit in "private." His words were made public due to his reckless affair. The idiot shacks up with a women decades younger than him who clearly was only interested in his money. He recklessly talks to this prostitute (you would have to be a prostitute to sleep with this slime bag for money) and when he doesn't pay her for her silence, it leaks (shocking, I know). Then there are the years of similar comments/actions, not the least of which were the years of discriminating against people of color in his rental units in L.A. that stopped only after he was sued and paid big bucks. What the NBA did was long overdue. Sterling should and probably will lose his case, but probably not before his lawyers soak up a ton of his money, and cost the NBA millions in legal fees.
