Those are my thoughts about his words. My opinion: unprintable.

Don Sterling is none of these. Plain and simple, he's racist.
The NBA needs to force him out like MLB did with (former Cincinnati Reds owner) Marge Schott several years ago.

You got your wish - he's banned for life from the NBA and now owes a $2.5M fine.

WOW... NBA commissioner came down on Sterling HARD. Nice to see some real punishment. I am assuming that Sterling now has an EX girlfriend, in addition to a soon-to-be ex wife.

Sterling is worth approximately $1.9 billion (according to reports). The $2.5 mil fine (league maximum) is worth approx $55.90 to him.


I guess there could be a debate about how "real" or "hard" the league has come down.

There are so many layers to this onion....
