People just don't read. SILVER did the smack down. What kind of a punishment were you folks looking for? Get over it already.

And speaking of the news media? “They caught big game on a slow news day,” Abdul-Jabbar explained, “so they put his head on a pike, dubbed him Lord of the Flies, and danced around him whooping.”“Man, what a winding road she led him down to get all of that out,” he mocked. “She was like a sexy nanny playing ‘pin the fried chicken on the Sambo.’ She blindfolded him and spun him around until he was just blathering all sorts of incoherent racist sound bites that had the news media peeing themselves with glee.”
Abdul-Jabbar is correct, but it is worse than that. The NAACP accepted multiple grants from the Donald T. Sterling Charitable Foundation and handed Sterling several “image awards” — despite full knowledge of his prior, massive fine for discrimination against Blacks in his slumlord housing.The NAACP “did nothing” after Sterling was forced to pay a staggering $3 million fine for denying housing to Blacks, saying they “smell, and attract vermin,” Abdul-Jabbar noted. They were even going to present Sterling with an NAACP award on May 15th, with the Rev. Al Sharpton on hand. “Suddenly he says he doesn’t want his girlfriend posing with Magic Johnson on Instagram and we bring out the torches and rope. Shouldn’t we have all called for his resignation back then?”
“So, if we’re all going to be outraged,” the former NBA star wrapped up, “let’s be outraged that we weren’t more outraged when his racism was first evident. Let’s be outraged that private conversations between people in an intimate relationship are recorded and publicly played. Let’s be outraged that whoever did the betraying will probably get a book deal, a sitcom, trade recipes with Hoda and Kathie Lee, and soon appear on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”“Didn’t we just call to task the NSA for intruding into American citizen’s privacy in such an un-American way?” he asked, comparing the secret tape-recording to Mitt Romney’s embarrassing 47 percent remark, recorded without the then-candidate’s knowledge.
“The making and release of this tape is so sleazy that just listening to it makes me feel like an accomplice to the crime,” Abdul-Jabbar fumed. “We didn’t steal the cake but we’re all gorging ourselves on it.”
The irony ... People wanting to lynch him for what he said. Smh ....
All though I don't agree w/ many of his ideologies, I would be VERY curious to hear Jim Brown's opinion of this whole mess.

The ****?what else could they have done?
-Suspend the playoffs.
-Players should refuse to play until Sterling sells the team to minority owners.
-Investigate and interview each NBA owner and their top executives for racism and discriminatory practices.
-Give back every cent to the fans that purchased a ticket, NBA league pass, cable tv, NBA gear, etc, this season.
-NBA should also boycott companies like Nike, Adidas, etc whom uses child labor
This would make it a good day but... wait a minute.. what am I talking about?
Real talk that automatic spell check is a *****. It stay putting apostrophes in my "yall"sAll though I don't agree w/ many of his ideologies, I would be VERY curious to hear Jim Brown's opinion of this whole mess.

And this is interesting ... on Stiviano's Instagram page, she constantly tagged photos with "#RandomHouse" and "#Simon&Schuster" ... both large book publishing companies.
Sources connected with Stiviano tell us ... she IS in the process of writing a book "about life" -- but she insists it is not about Sterling.

The ****?
One man's racist comments should lead to the suspension of the playoffs, the unjust investigation of other owners "suspected" racism, mass refunds to viewers
Then tell me how dumb you sound bringing in Nike in to this, same shoe company outsourcing their manufacturing to toddlers in 3rd world countries
Some of y'all more ignorant and naive about the real world than I thought.

Dude ...Your mindset is the reason why things continue to be how it is.
Why not suspend the playoffs? What are we losing out on? Watching 10 rich guys playing basketball while we are fed commercial after commercial is more important that the crux of this controversy?
A super rich white bigot who for 30 years discriminated against minorities got fined and banned.
Ok it's over.
Time for the playoffs.
Time to camp out for the next Jordan release.
We WON!
