It looks like NBA owners are siding with Commissioner, Adam
Silver, to give LA Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, the boot. The 10-member committee, comprised of other
NBA owners, voted unanimously to move forward in the process.
It’s interesting that his comments were recorded during a
private interview and later made public.
Obviously, his comments were completely unacceptable. Should they cost him the team? If not, what alternative punishment would be appropriate for something like this?
I can’t help but wonder if this was “off the record” or did
he know they could be made public? Given
his history, it doesn’t seem like he would care.
This makes me think about how journalists record interviews. Based on this issue, do you think people will
be more cautious with respect to the comments they make in the future (especially if they are being recorded)?
