All of this is correct. The problem comes in as to what constitutes offensive speech these days and the very narrow and selective words or speech that gets one in trouble. If for instance, in Mr. Sterlings conversation the words black man, would have been substituted for, Christian man, or right wing man, or most any other type man, nothing would have been said.

Pure speculation on your part. The long and short of it is, if you're making the NBA money then your welcome at the table. When your public or private life looks like it may cost the NBA money, sponsors, or cause bad press, then you will be shown the door.

It must be awful to be so marginalized. My heart bleeds for you.

If the majority of the employees are Christian AND these employees are so special in their abilities that his business is exclusively based upon customers paying to see then work...

AND

These Christian employees are so upset that they may stop working...

AND

the statements are made at the most crucial point of the business cycle...

AND

There is a franchise agreement that says you won't harm the business...

Then, yes. You will be fired.
