re: Have you switched sides from Team Earth to Team Sterling?

The 4th amendment only protects you from search and seizure from the government, and the 1st amendment protects your right to free speech from government intervention, with a couple exceptions. Don't see how either apply to this case since the NBA is not a government entity

I suppose this is what his attorneys are gearing up to argue should it get that far. You're being too literal in some respects - the spirit of the 4th amendment and American privacy rights are what are the overriding factors in Sterling's potential defense.

And it WAS out of context - we weren't privy to the entire conversation, the fact that V. Golddiggeriano was supposedly baiting him and entrapping him into that line of conversation.

I support the players personally but I also think that he has the spirit of the law (if not literally the law) on his side. Would be fascinating but bad for the country to go through. I hope he'll just sell for a generous profit to the NBA and apologize and try his best to make amends.
