I don't defend Donald Sterling and think he is an absolute shmuck in every sense possible. However, I think it is odd that Sterling can be punished today, and justly so, for making deplorable comments, yet you don't hear jack about Jay-Z being disciplined by the league for equally deplorable comments....why is that? -

The last few days here have been playing out like an ACT exam question:
Jay-Z is to Donald Sterling as Harry Reid is to Cliven Bundy."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I have been to a Jay-Z concert. Wish I known that he he did not want me, a white guy, at his concert. I feel absolutely outraged.
Thank you, imanhajoini, for making your completely apt and equivalent comparison between Jay-Z and Sterling."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

It's not that he didn't want you to pay to attend his concert. He just doesn't want Beyonce posting instagram pictures from when you and she hung out.Originally posted by San Juan Sun View Post"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

From what I have heard current and former NBA players are happy with the decision. Since I think they are the most offended group in this mess, if they are happy then so am I.Comment

Whitlock says wrong precedent.
Removing Donald Sterling from the NBA solves nothing. It sets a precedent that will likely boomerang and harm the black players and coaches who are shocked and outraged that an 80-year-old man with a documented history of bigoted actions also has bigoted private thoughts.
Let's be careful here. From the owner's box to the locker room, professional sports are overrun with wealthy men in complicated, volatile sexual relationships. If TMZ plans to make "pillow talk" public and the standard is set that "pillow talk" is actionable, it won't be long before a parade of athletes joins Sterling on Ignorance Island.
A right to privacy is at the very foundation of American freedoms. It's a core value. It's a mistake to undermine a core value because we don't like the way a billionaire exercises it. What happens when a disgruntled lover gives TMZ a tape of a millionaire athlete expressing a homophobic or anti-Semitic or anti-white perspective?
Warriors coach Mark Jackson, who called for Clippers fans to boycott Game 5, seems quite vulnerable to mob rule. Jackson is super-religious. He's previously been extorted by a stripper he kept as a mistress. And some of the LGBT community views Jackson as homophobic.So Russell...what do you love about music?
