UCLA is also having major issues with the racial climate. It wouldn't be a good look to accept the money.

Good points guys.

They have the best record and home court advantage. You still you don't see them edging the series?

I've been offered a $200 bet in the Mavs/Spurs series. I would have the Spurs in the bet. Should I take it?

Re: I'm so fucking happy to be a Blazers fan right now. What do you think of Portland's chances of winning the West?

Rubio's joke was in poor taste and racist, but his comments do not show any deep-seeded animus toward Mexicans. Further, Rubio's racism isn't felt from a structural level like Sterling's and he doesn't have a history of racism either. Not the same at all. My fault if you were joking, it's hard...

Re: OT - Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My G... We're finally in agreement haha. Sterling is probably leaving with $1B at the end of the day. I think the NBA wins from a credibility standpoint though.

Re: OT - Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My G... I'll take a look. Thanks!

Re: OT - Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My G... Whether it is allowed or not, I imagine some players will still do it and they will have support from the public. The NBA may even lose some support from the public for fining players taking a moral stand. In...

Re: OT - Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My G... True, but the Clippers are arguably the most exciting team in the league and one of the more valuable franchises. So if the players refuse to play and/or people stop supporting the team, the NBA as a whole...

Re: OT - Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My G... I'm not too familiar with the 3/4s rule, but I would imagine 3/4s of the owners would vote him out. With all the revenue sharing that goes on, the owners will be affected if the NBA takes a hit, and it will...

Re: OT - Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My G... In general, it's hard for plaintiffs to win because they have the burden of proving their case, but it's even harder for racial discrimination cases. Sterling's potential case is not a racial discrimination...

Re: Banned for life and $2.5 mm fine! Not really. Cases regarding racial discrimination are one of the hardest types of lawsuits to win. To prove racial discrimination, you need proof that your employer had a conscious intentional bias against you. This is very difficult to prove in a court of...

Re: What I'd like to hear Silver say There's copious evidence to make that conclusion: -The Department of Justice has sued Sterling for racial discrimination. -Elgin Baylor has sued Sterling for racial discrimination. -A number of other people have accused Sterling of racial slurs and...

Re: What I'd like to hear Silver say Of course he doesn't own them, but he sees them as inferior human beings, unlike the other nationalities who he is paying less. He's not being generous because he is paying Chris Paul a nice salary. He sees Chris Paul as an inferior human being whose sole...
