Well, if I can't find a place to live, it probably wouldn't be too good for my health

I understand your position, but as I'm sure you're aware having such a position is much easier when you're white than if you are a person of color, especially if you are black. In such a scenario your opportunities would not be limited in any noticeable way.

Already even with the current laws I've experienced housing discrimination. I'm sure that it would be much worse in the colorblind society that you imagine.

Baron Davis played there for years, and said basically everyone knows he is a racist.

So that makes it right? I don't see what we are trying to justify here.

He posted two nba reactions.

I know you want to push this as news but it's failing the test of being "new." It's not going to get the shock you expect. Odds are it won't change a thing as it hadn't the last several times it's made the rounds on espn.

Agreed. No harm, no foul. Players continue to play, make millions, fans continue to be entertained. Carry on.

So what?

So what?

Let's look at this in a different light. What if say Ford or Wal-Mart's CEO is a blatant racist, that would definitely affect how people view those companies. Tone at the top is crucial for business success, and it really does impact related parties.

Don't you think the NBA has a vested interested in the well-being of an LA franchise? If the Clippers take a pretty substantial hit, then the NBA also takes a substantial hit, both on the PR side and on the revenue side.

Also, what do his players think of him? You don't think this would also have an impact about the performance of the team?

This will definitely negatively affect his team's fan base, his player opportunities and his bottom line.

Probably will be sold and moved to anaheim. I'd probably change the team name post move and go with another disney name. Dalmatians would be cool

If I owned the clippers I'd walk around in a robe all day wearing a crown from old basketballs.

Making racist comments would not stand. There would be two societies bourgeoisie and proletariat. They then duke it out.
