Did you just compare verbal comments to the act of murder? There is a huge chasm between the two right?
There is no crime in being an elitist jerk with a warped sense of societal equality, which Sterling has been guilty of, just social repercussions.
I think from a public moral standpoint some are raising the question of whether a private conversation between two people should be made public for all to judge.
that was an overblown comparison, even I thought so but was lazy to go and change it, but you get the idea that the act in itself is disgusting and has no place in a league that's comprised of more than 50% coloured athletes (or in any league for that matter). His view point may have been private, and not illegal, hence why he isn't facing any legal charges, but it certainly doesn't excuse him from holding on to that team, there should be some standard to owning a team, and this crosses it.
