Wow. "Self-reported"? That's... weird. Adam Silver is The Punisher.

Someone was most likely trying to blackmail him.

I hope PA doesn't have any racist emails or audio files floating out there. But is it bad the first thing i thought was the Seattle Hawks?

All the league would have to do is move Memphis to the Eastern Conference.

Memphis would immediately be a top 3 team in the East, they would be all for that i'm sure

That would be a little confusing. Perhaps "Land Hawks"?

Sterling wasn't sorry and Levenson is. All he needed to do was apologize. Maybe this is an excuse to do what he wanted anyway--sell.

So a decade of fighting with Belkin finally produces a stable owner...who then sells.

I can't tell if Silver is less mobster than Stern, or way way more mobster.

After the Sterling fiasco, every GM in the league is going through their email accounts with a team of computer techs. This does seem suspiciously black mail driven.

Of course. Gotta create that drama, media!

Though, it is Woj... so it actually for once might be legit.

Maybe everybody thinks they'll get 2 billion for their teams now that Sterling cashed in.
 
Re: Bruce Levenson will sell the Atlanta Hawks after revelation of a 2012 racist emai

It's the new thing. If the nba doesn't like an owner they will label them a racist.
 
Re: Bruce Levenson will sell the Atlanta Hawks after revelation of a 2012 racist emai

Next they should get rid of every player, coach, and fan who has ever said something that someone else thought was racist. Let the purge begin.
 
Re: Bruce Levenson will sell the Atlanta Hawks after revelation of a 2012 racist emai

Sterling reaped 2-3 times the actual value of his franchise by being "forced" to sell his team to a politically liberal billionaire.

I've been wondering if any of the other owners were smart enough to join the game.

How many more will follow suit, since every last one of them is racist? :dunno:

Well this went "OT-worthy" really quick...

Yep. For $2 billion, a lot of rich sociopaths would dig up their nastiest emails and turn themselves in. Maybe this will help contract the league by two teams and get a team to Seattle again.

Seattlite: "Hey lets go see the Hawks on Sunday!"

Other Seattlite: "You got tickets to the Seahawks?!?!"

First Seattlite: "Nah, I got courtside to the Seattle Hawks and the Charlotte Hornets"

Other Seattlite: ".... Oh."

Anyone who has ever said anything racist, sexist, or defamed a belief system should resign from their jobs and live in self-imposed exile on the isle of Iona.

So, who is bringing the chips? I'll bring Brats and potato salad.

Yeah - what's the point of being rich if you can't be a racist asshole? Nobody cares when you're poor and racist. Class war!
 
Re: Bruce Levenson will sell the Atlanta Hawks after revelation of a 2012 racist emai

Steve Belkin fought Levenson for years but was forced out of the ownership group. Now he can buy the team back and bring back Joe Johnson.
 
Re: Bruce Levenson will sell the Atlanta Hawks after revelation of a 2012 racist emai

honestly, from the bits i've seen it doesn't look 'racist' to me. it's just such a fine emotional and temperamental line - is saying blacks do this, whites do this... based off your own observations, racist now?
can you imagine if white people were at the core of his frustrations? nobody would give a shit.
it's like in the UFC, the current HW champ has a tattoo of 'Brown Pride' across his chest and its cool, brave and proud because he's in an apparent minority. could you imagine the shit that'd blow up if someone like Alexander Gustaffsson (swedish) had 'White Pride' on his chest?

Talking about any minority:
Positively = good
Negatively = racist, negative

Talking about a majority (relative term...):
Positively = racist, hater, oppressive
Negatively = good, trying to change things, bring balance.

Just so fuckin bs all over the place...
