It's interesting to me how strongly society reacts to the idiotic remarks made by an insecure old man. He made a series of ignorant, racist remarks and should be humiliated. He will probably be heavily reprimanded financially, banned from games, etc., but when a basketball star.....say.....physically assaults their wife, punches a fan in the face, or worse they are allowed to play again. Words vs. physical violence.

Is that fair?

Heavy financial reprimand, game bans, isn't that exactly what happens to players that beat their wives and/or punch fans in the face? I don't see your point.

They don't get thrown out of the NBA and Sterling won't be banned from the NBA. People are still allowed to have their opinions that they want them gone, just as I'm sure there are fans that would want misfit players gone.
