For example in NC it is legal to tape a person as long as one person in the conversation knows, so I could tape you and you cant do anything about it as long as I know.
 
So its legal in NC, yet you say it violates Federal Law?
I'll raise that ante, because in NYS, only the person doing the recording has to know unless they are confined to a room. I can record in a gymnasium, or outdoors, because I was recording bird sounds and you just happen to be talking. Don't get technical, it's the jist!
 
The NBA not only is relying on its constitution and by-laws to force Los Angeles Clipper owner Donald Sterling to sell the team, but also plans to rely on moral and ethical contracts with the league Sterling has signed over the years, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports. …
 
 
Language in those contracts prevent Sterling from expressing views or taking actions counter that are detrimental to the league, the person said.

(CNN) -- Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling says he's sorry, nearly two weeks after the NBA banned him for life and slammed him with a $2.5 million fine for making racist comments.
"I'm a good member who made a mistake and I'm apologizing and I'm asking for forgiveness," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview set to air on Monday. "Am I entitled to one mistake, am I after 35 years? I mean, I love my league, I love my partners. Am I entitled to one mistake? It's a terrible mistake, and I'll never do it again."
"I'm not a racist," Sterling told Cooper. "I made a terrible mistake. I'm here to apologize."
Asked by Cooper why he took so long to say he's sorry, Sterling said he was "emotionally distraught."
"The reason it's hard for me, very hard for me, is that I'm wrong. I caused the problem. I don't know how to correct it," he said.

Anyone else notice how that urgent vote to force the sale of his ownership hasn't happened yet?...
 
I don't recall him making racist statements. Just didn't want any brothers hanging around his Hoe.
 
That isn't racist.

ESPN reported this morning he knew he was being taped. TMZ released it to the public, but once again the NBA is not a judge or jury, they are not charging him with anything criminal, he violated the NBA rules. You and others are confusing criminal and the NBA.
 
Not so says the man....
 
 
"I know I'm wrong, what I said was wrong. But I never thought a private conversation would go anywhere out to the public," the man says.
 
Looking like MSM never looked into what actually constitutes a card carrying racist.
 
Poor Mr Sterling was misunderstood by a rabid left news media.
 
He's already apologizing......and we are a forgiving people.
 
His wife says he may be showing signs of dementia.

You'd think we have laws protecting those not of sound mind?...

If he has dementia what is he doing running a multi million dollar company?  I would think that blade cuts two ways at least.

The NBA is not using a law to ban him, you are failing to grasp that. He violated NBA rules, not the law. The NBA is not the police or prosecutors. Do you not understand the difference?
So let's kick an "Old White Guy" out, over a civil matter but keep the *gasp* black dudes in, when it comes to criminal matters!
