The NBA has become nothing more than a glorified WWE. The refs are corrupt and one admitting to betting on games. Former NBA commissioner (and Democrat) David Stern blocked a trade of Chris Paul to the L.A. Lakers ‘for basketball reasons’ but let him go to Sterling’s Clippers for a worse package for the New Orleans Pelicans (then the Hornets). Jerry Buss when he was alive generally donated to Republicans, while Sterling donates to Democrats. There may have politics at work in the voided Chris Paul to the Lakers trade too. Now, the NBA has imitated charges to terminated the ownership of the L.A. Clippers from Donald Sterling. It’s time to grab some popcorn and watch the fun as Sterling has threatened to sue the NBA if they tried to strip him of ownership.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling “engaged in conduct that has damaged and continues to damage the NBA” when he disparaged black people in a recorded coversation that led the league’s commissioner to call for his removal, according to a charge initiated Monday by the league.
The charge seeking to terminate the NBA’s longest tenured owner is one of several steps in the process by which Sterling could be removed. If the NBA’s other 29 owner sustain the charge by the three-fourths vote, the 80-year-old would be stripped of team ownership.
Sterling is afforded the opportunity to respond to the charge by May 27. He can present his case at a special meeting of the league’s Board of Governors, scheduled for June 3.
