3. I'm with Bill Maher on this. If you're an old racist fuck and the only place you exhibit it is

in the privacy of your own home, nobody has the right to destroy your life and livelihood when someone records you surreptitiously and posts your private conversation online. Seriously, if anybody posted a private conversation I had in my own home and posted it online, I'd hire a private dick to find out who they were and go after them for everything they had. And if someone else used that information to destroy my business, I'd go after whoever destroyed my business as a result.

He has no right to sully the NBA with his disgusting racist views, but he obviously wasn't trying to do it. He was speaking privately with his personal assistant/girlfriend (whoever she is) on the phone in the privacy of his own home. Violating privacy should not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form, and the results of said violation should not be tolerated as well.

I hope he loses the law suit because he's an ass, but if he does, it sends a dangerous message regarding right to privacy in this country.
