Do you think he could win that one ?

Being an NBA owner is a privilege, not a right. It's a private club. They want him out of that club. Story over.

Ok, it's time to explain why you feel he is deranged. Go ahead.

Maybe you just read the reports and didn't actually hear the recordings?

Start with that and tell me your impression of his mental capacities.

Says you. There's going to be a multi-national litigation powerhouse who thinks otherwise.

Antitrust issues, breach of contract issues, etc etc.

IANAL, but this is disgusting.

Oh, and when is Mel Gibson being banned from making movies
by Mel they weren't worried that a bunch of Jews would start mass unrest. Here they want to bury this thing so fast. They're scared of the mob

I have listened to the recordings.
Sorry pal, you are actually going to have to support your statements with your own explanation. Go ahead.
Why do you think:
He's deranged.
and that
that guy is cracked.
and that he's
all demented
??

If I have to explain it to you, then we just have two very different ways of assessing what is normal.

Don't assume. Speak your mind and we shall see.
What's so hard about explaining why you feel he is deranged? Go ahead. I'll be right here.

You've never said something in private that you hoped wouldn't be broadcast on the front page of every media outlet in the country?

You want to be punished for something you think, but yet haven't acted on?

I have zero problem with anti-semitism. Think it all you want. Believe we're scum of the earth, money-hungry, media-controlling, elitists.

...just don't run me over with your car.

To ban a guy for something he said in private to a vindictive girlfriend, and upon which he's never acted TMK, is the height of insanity.
+1000
The whole thing is absurd.

Well he does have a history of being racist.  He wouldn't rent to blacks and Mexicans.
Said they smell and bring vermin.
He was found guilty of that,  but nobody did anything then.

Also,  many people were saying the same thing about Helen Thomas. Why should she lose her job just bec she stated her opinion

Why am I pulling teeth? You obviously are not in the mood of sharing your thoughts. My loss.

That's what he said in his rant;  you can feed them.... But don't publicize your friendship.

What nobody is talking about,  is who are the friends that called him to complain about the instagram picture? That's why he was so upset
