Fuck Sterling, but good for him. No matter what he said, it's still his team and he has the right to go to court over it.
He does.
His fellow owners have every right as well to sue his ass for the damages incurred as an owner of a franchise given the harm that he's causing on their franchises as part of a parent company called the National Basketball Association.
Yes,
Just what the owners will want to do.
They would be wise to let him keep his 2.5 million, keep the ban in place and move on with life.
It was a stupid thing to pick a fight over when he has the history he does.
Only problem with that is that you have a league of players willing to walk out if you don't remove him as an owner.
The league had no choice in this ... it was really the only solution that they had in getting him removed from the league as an owner.
Sterling's lawsuit at this point is for spite. The bylaws are the bylaws and they'll hold up in court.
