    They clearly arent dead, but they dont have the ability to make as much noise as other racial communities have.

    Damn. I have been preparing for the zombie apocalypse for years and all I had to do is find a reservation casino.

    He is going to fight very hard for this mainly for one reason: Taxes.

    He sells now and he will pay capital gains tax (24%) AND California taxes (12)%.

    This whole episode will likely kill him shortly so his estate will owe 40% after the income tax is paid off.

    Yikes.

    Did you get that from wikipedia?
    Redskin has nothing to do with them scalping or killing Indians. Did you really think Native Americans had red skin? Redskin referred to the face and body paint they used to use.

    LOL, I belonged to a Scandinavian club in NY and our softball team was called the Vikings. We were Swedes and Finns and we called ourselves the Vikings, I bet you would have a very hard time finding one Scandinavian who finds it offensive.

    LOL shut up. You might as well say that Centurions is an offensive term for Italians.

    I am still tossed up on if he could really be that stupid or if he is just trolling. I am leaning toward the "really that stupid".

    Sterling is known as a guy who will cut his nose to spite his face. At this point it would be wise financially for him to sell the team. Not sure if the league would allow him to transfer it to one of his family. They probably want to completely divest themselves from any ties to him or his family. But if Sterling (who is a lawyer and is generally good at lawsuits) could score even more $ going to court (or in a settlement with the league) he'll most likely do it. He might not be liable for his comments because they weren't spoken publicly. It was taped and then given to the media without his permission or knowledge. The league bylaws contain clauses that protect the NBA from behavior, etc. detrimental to the league. But in this case he didn't say or do anything in public. It was a private conversation. It could be a big case and maybe even go to the Supreme Court if he wants it to.

    Easily troll, he went from being unable to form coherent sentences to making 5000 predictions so he could brag about the 2 or 3 that were right.

    I'm starting to get some entertainment from him though, so it's not all bad.
