Donald Sterling

The NBA is in an uproar right now because of something that Donald Sterling said.  Why is there so much surprise over this?  He has been doing this for years.  From being a slumlord, to being sued by his own employees, to not housing minorities in his apartments, this is a pattern of behavior.  He shouldn't be an owner.  Adam Silver should take the team away from him.  I don't know what the process would be, but I know that is something that can be done.  It happened in baseball with Marge Schott.  The Clippers have been a joke since he took over anyway.  To take a shot at Magic Johnson, who helped revitalize the league, is a ridiculous.  I wish the players would boycott the rest of the playoffs to make a point.  They have championship aspirations so it would be understandable if they didn't boycott, but it sure would make a statement.  Minorities have helped him maintain his fortune.  It almost seems like he's living in different time period.  There is no other way to describe his attitude towards race.  I love how the face of the NBA spoke up quickly about the situation.  LeBron James said there is no place for Donald Sterling in the NBA.  He's totally right.  Adam Silver hopefully makes the right call and removes him from his position.  He doesn't deserve to own a team and continue to make money on people he feels are inferior.  Shame on the NAACP for even considering giving him a lifetime achievement award.  But that is something that I have grown to expect from them too.  All I hope for is a quick resolution.
