    Pretty much no one saw this coming lol.

    Still don't know why he had to sell, he didn't harm the league only his independent business. He should have taken his team to a European league.

    He hurt the league's reputation - with that bullshit that came out of his mouth. Owner's have a responsibility to these fans, players and coaches.

    I was kidding. Was mocking another posters foolish crusade. Of COURSE he harmed the league, he violated the terms of the leagues by-laws and they HAD to get rid of the pariah.

    Not that I want to continue the beast womans 15 minutes of fame but the racist comments that were released from old recordings of Viviano show she was probably just as much a racist as Sterling. Not that it matters, just thought it was interesting they came out just as this was about done, she is probably who dug them up to keep it going.

    There's a great lesson in this story for us peasants. Once you join the elite you are there to stay and there's no real fall from the top.

    Hes an asshole but it doesn't matter. The league was wrong for ignoring him for years until a private conversation messed with their money, and they were wrong for how they handled it. But in the end both groups are laughing and sharing massive amounts of our hard earned dollars. You think he just randomly dropped his lawsuit? They gave him some hush hush money as well as the 2 billion he gets for the sale. Everyone at the top wins except us
