He'll be voted out. If Sterling doesn't get voted out the nba will be branded as a league owned by racists. It'll ruin the bottom line for everybody. That's what the owners really care about anyway... the bottom line.

Sterling being voted isn't going to stop the real issue here.

can you imagine the backlash if you didn't vote sterling out?
players would see it as you cosigning sterling's bigotry.

If Adam Silver holds a vote and it doesn't result in Sterling being voted out.
he will simply take another vote,
and another
and another.
until the owners know the score.
it wohn't come to that tho
People think the other 30 owners (most of them are 2nd generation owners who bought there teams for huge sums) are going to take a bullet for this old dude they don't know? They didn't become billionairs by being stupid.

He didn't work with Stern all these years and not pick up a few tricks.
It's clearly something they gave consideration to otherwise they wouldn't have a clause in their constitution allowing for 3/4 super majority voting ability. My guess is the protection was for the other owners against another owner running their team into the ground which would have a $ effect on each of them. This morality issue is effectively doing the same thing, so while he can argue in a court (or at least threaten to) the NBA feels confidently they have a position to defend their actions against Sterling.

I don't think you understand the reality and business side of the NBA. Even if these owners are privately bigoted, they don't want to be associated with a bumbling fool and will do anything to stop him from shortening their profit. Sterling dug himself a deep hole and he is paying for it now.Sterling being voted isn't going to stop the real issue here.

Exactly but some people apparently don't get it. Even the most staunch racist would not be dumb enough to align himself with Sterling at this point. If the media gets wind that some one voted to not oust Sterling, it's over for them. You do not want to be connected to this sort of stuff especially if you are someone as known as an NBA owner.

The NBA is a private entity with executive powers, they can force you to sell just as a country club can boot you out for variety of reasons.
Just because Sterling "owns" the Clippers doesn't mean he has no oversight. It's a privilege to own any sports team, doesn't mean its your god given right and the League is acting accordingly. Mainly because with sponsor dollars in one of the largest markets pulling, that impacts EVERY other owner.

nah, it just teaches them to be more secretive and careful. serious.
yeah, i didn't factor that in. on second thought, regardless of the private vote or not, i think the owners might just say **** it and take him down.

I think Sterling and his wife are no longer together. They're still married, but separated I believe.

he might try.
but he can't, in the agreement when you get the franchise, all the commissioners decision are like binding like an arbitrator.
ask A-Rod, judges overturn arbitrator decisions basically never.
