I have a question for y'all; where do you think the line should be drawn between Sterling and the NBA? What I mean by that is yes, I agree that a person should be allowed to think how they want, and as long as their philosophy doesn't hurt someone, what does it matter? Now me personally, I think that Donald Sterling's thoughts / little speech was harmful to others but I'll concede the point for now. But at what point does the League have a responsibility to state that "we will not be associated with the way you think"?

 

Granted, that's precisely what happened but do you feel like the League had a right to do such a thing? At what point does a business owner have a responsibility to his peers to behave in such a way that is good for business and the overall health of the League? When should the League step in and enforce that kind of behavior? If Sterling was allowed to continue to be a part of the LA Clippers, the League and all of it's members would have suffered by some degree. Was it the proper thing to do to cut the man out of the herd?
