Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 1037257, member: 720"] You said you defend his rights to express himself without repercussions. Maybe that statement isn't as specific as you meant it to be. Of course he has a right to free speech. Free speech protects you from the government. The government isn't prepared to make a law saying owners of NBA teams can't make racist comments. But the NBA might decide that having a racist owner of one of it's franchises is detrimental to their brand, and is going to cost them money. Now I don't know if the NBA can legally force Sterling to sell, but it certainly has the right to explore that option. [/QUOTE]
