Assuming it's not another MSNBC-esque manufactured recording (hardly unthinkable anymore), this guy is just a modern day Marge Schott.
You'll hear outrage, apologies, a large donation made to some politically acceptable charity, and short of someone buying out his ownership stake, that will be about it. The NBA can fine or suspend him from "day to day operations" but that's about it. They can't force him out. Since the team is worth $575B, I doubt anyone will be stepping up to buy him out on impulse, and in the end, he'll still make money out of the deal.

If Republicans weren't so terrified of being labeled the "racist party" they know themselves to be, they wouldn't be so quick to pounce on every single petty, smarmy accusation of racism by a Democrat. And you know it's true.

This clown isn't something just found along the highway, he's been a bigtime racist donator to the DNC and they knew how he is....just as every black free agent who signed for his team...So whats the big deal? Just look the other way and deposit $10,000.

They would flee from to, just as the South has done. I can't believe I am here giving an 8th grade history lesson, yet here I am
Typo. They're worth $575M, and the damn forum software only allows changes for an hour or so.700UW said:Eric, the Clippers arent worth $575 Billion the most valuable NBA Franchise is the Knicks valued at $1billion.
