re: Clay Travis article on Michael Sam, Sterling, etc.

His "embarrassing" statements became "public" ONLY because someone made a surreptitious recording (illegal in some states) of a private conversation.

Well, that is certainly bad luck for him. I bet half the owners have dropped the N-word in their life at some point. Fortunately for them, it hasn't become public knowledge. The association of owners of which Sterling is a part sees the potential for a huge public relation nightmare, loss of advertisement revenue, loss or fan revenue, boycotts, all kinds of bad shite for their bottom line. Sterling has a "right" to be a racist or whatever and the others have a right to enforce whatever hook they have to get rid of him and rid themselves of a huge economic problem for themselves. If they are wrong he can sue and stop them.
