Sterling banned for life, fined 2.5 Million.

Forced sale of the Clippers to begin as soon as. Well played Adam Silver.

clearly an old man making a fool of himself in private is much worse than being a homophobic suspected rapist, then

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that he will try to force the controversial owner to sell his franchise. Sterling has also been fined $2.5 million, and Silver made no effort to hide his outrage over the comments.

I understand also that a forced sale requires a vote of the other owners. Not sure that will pass, but Sterling's only options are sell or sue. And if he sues then he settles and probably still sells the team.

It's believed he will get the backing of every owner

On ownership super majority needed to vote Sterling out, one Board of Governor tells Yahoo: "Adam has the votes - all of them, I believe."
 
So he will profit from his racism.

He was already racist and already profited, so not sure what's new except that now we're talking about it. Not sure he's actually profiting from his racism, and I would think the sale price of the team is damaged through his comments, so I'm not sure I would put it in those words.
 
Wow, very surprised if the new Commissioner gets all owners to vote on a forced sale.
Rumors were Cuban may abstain because he isn't a fan of the precedent, but he may come around. He agrees with the punishment...just not sure if he digs the thought of an owner being forced out (wonder why he would worry about that lol).

Part of the lesson in all this has to be: it's not good to have no friends; if you have no friends, maybe the problem is with you.
 
Sterling says Clippers are not for sale. He doesn't seem to regret anything of this and is just playing stubborn.

Well done Adam Silver though!
