It is going to be hard for the NBA to discipline Mr Sterling without establishing principles of draconian justice that will ramify inconveniently for other personalities in the league. This includes many athletes and owners now calling for Mr Sterling’s head...
...Last year Tony Parker, the French guard for the San Antonio Spurs, made a quenelle salute, created and popularised by the French comedian Dieudonné. The quenelle has become beloved of Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites, some of whom have been filmed making the gesture outside concentration camps, Holocaust memorials and synagogues. Is there a place for Parker in the NBA? Feminist groups have in recent years eyed the league’s sexual harassment policies.
It will probably not be hard to make the case that Mr Sterling is a lout. What will be hard is making the case that he is the only lout in the NBA.
So, Commissioner Adam Silver. Lifetime ban for the Hitler fan?
The NBA? A league for racist thugs? Watched predominantly by racist thugs??
ReplyDeleteSeriously, who frigging cares? When you have avowed racists like Michael Jordon, their all time star, admitting he was against all whites, c'mon, get real.
The left dominated media will focus on ANYTHING to take the spotlight off Obama.
