His players HAVE to play. Don't give me that nonsense of them having the option of playing or not. They don't play--they don't make any money. 85% of the league lives paycheck to paycheck. Some of you guys really think players will go without a paycheck? I don't think so. Just look at what happened with the lockout last time. The Player Union tried to be strong and hold out, but how long can you go without money?

I do think the situation in LA is bad and thing will be shaken up. If I was Sterling, I would send out my PR team to do damage control and start the process of rehabilitating my image. Ain't no way I'd sell.

It's L.A. and people will want to play there.
Basically proves sterling right. I pay them, they'll play regardless.
 
Is it wrong that I hope the clippers players/coach leave so that the lakers can snatch up the talent?

The NBA is not just gonna let Doc, CP3, Blake, etc just leave.

They can't punish the Clippers fans because of their owner.

Doc may retire, but it's not like al these guys will become FA's. just not possible.
 
I fail to see him being forced to sell and earn about 700 million dollars as a punishment. Him being forced out "eventually" doesn't mean much either because as shown, his players will play anyway.

It's real a new situation.

Tbh the only punishment really is embarrassment and public shame. I honestly don't think he cares really. He's a 80 year old billionaire. We all know at that age your stuck in your ways and usually care little about what someone else thinks. Now add that to the fact he's a self made billionaire. He has to sell or somehow be removed for the Clippers to have any chance of remaining/being competitive going forward. Every minority player will receive heavy backlash for going or staying there after this.

This works the same way everywhere else. Corporate world, Blue Collar world etc etc

Unless you're someone who really stands behind his/her convictions and can go an extended period of time without money.
 
Am I the only one who really feels bad for the Clips fans?

For YEARS they were a joke of a franchise, and these past couple years they started to get better and get some respect around the league. The get CP3 and Doc Rivers comes to be their coach, and then this happens. :smh:

Damn.

This. Unless you can read your bosses thoughts or watch them 24/7 you don't know what they really think or believe. We may all be working for monsters on the low. Srs

Yeap, I can agree with this. Working on Wall Street, I'm confident to say that most of the people whom I work under are probably racist in some capacity. I try not to let that bother me.

The best way to handle it is to just do your thing and get your money. That's really the bottom line. You don't have to like me and I don't have to like you. As long as we're both making money, it's all good.

I was just talking to my boy about this. Are there really any legitimate Clippers' fans? I would assume a lot of them are people from LA who have the luxury of rooting for two teams in the same city.

Assuming your boss is racist and having recorded evidence of your boss on the news and media saying you're subhuman but money will shut you up are completely different things
