Donald Sterling And The NBA

Introduction

I like basketball a lot, but I have not really cared about this so called scandal and I have not bothered to learn all the details about it.

Some Remarks

  1. If it is true that this tape was an illegal recording of a private conversation between two adults (a rich, old man and a young woman reported  to be his mistress) of which excerpts appear to somehow were released to the public, then the NBA had no business to condemn in such a way the owner of one of their teams.
  2. I only hope that Mr. Sterling will defend himself and attack this outrageous decision by the NBA!
  3. Did the woman get paid for making or releasing these recordings?
  4. Did Mr. Sterling consent to the recording of this conversation?
  5. If Mr. Sterling really was a racist why would he own and patronize a NBA basketball team and not e.g. PGA golf?
