Racist, Democrat donor Donald Sterling has been banned for life from the NBA and been fined $2.5 million dollars. This is of course a drop in the bucket for the billionaire racist Donald Sterling, but it’s also the maximum amount that the NBA can fine anyone under their constitution. Sterling, who is no recent racist, got off scott free from the NBA during his other racism issues such as not rentings his properties blacks or Latinos, but no one cared then. Also, don’t think the Donald Sterling lifetime ban will hold up very long. The last owner who got a lifetime ban was New York Yankees’ owner George Steinbrenner in 1990. The ban was lifted a couple years later. The same will probably hold true for Sterling.

The NBA has become more like the WWE over recent years than actual real basketball anyway. Under David Stern, the league had refs fixing games, Stern voted a trade of Chris Paul to the Lakers and instead allowed him to go to the Clipppers for less. Looks like the chickens are coming home to roost.

L.A. Native and creator of Truthrevolt.com Ben Shapiro says it best:
Sterling should have been banned about the time the DOJ FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST HIM FOR BANNING BLACKS FROM HIS TENEMENTS.
