Liberal Racist Donald Sterling: 'The man who poisoned the Los Angeles Clippers for nearly 30 years with his ignorance and hate has at last been dragged away into sweet oblivion...'

From Bill Plaschke, at the Los Angeles Times, "Bill Plaschke: NBA makes the right move regarding Donald Sterling":

Call it the most spectacular slam dunk in professional basketball history.

With one dazzling, devastating move, the NBA has thrown down against evil.

Thankfully, finally, Donald Sterling is done.

The man who poisoned the Los Angeles Clippers for nearly 30 years with his ignorance and hate has at last been dragged away into sweet oblivion.

Four days after the release of audiotapes on which Sterling is heard making racist comments, the NBA has banned the Clippers owner for life.

“We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling’s views,’’ said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Tuesday morning. “They simply have no place in the NBA.’’

Sterling was also fined the maximum $2.5 million, but, for the eccentric billionaire who viewed his team as a way to be accepted among his social circle, the lost money is nothing compared with his lost status.

No longer can he sit at courtside with his chest puffed out. No longer can he entertain friends in the press room after games. No longer can he go into the locker room and lead the team in awkward cheers.

The lifetime ban essentially takes away every reason that Donald Sterling has for owning the team, which would seem to make it another slam dunk that he would sell it.

But not so fast. Even in a decision that was celebrated by players and owners alike, there is a loophole...

More.

Thirty years of leftist, Democrat-supporting hate and ignorance.
