“ NBA bans Clippers owner Sterling for life ”.
E N D
Basketball Commissioner Adam Silver slapped Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling with a lifetime ban from the sport and a $2.5 million fine Tuesday over racist remarks attributed to Sterling. It is unclear whether Silver could order Sterling to sell the Clippers, a team he bought for $12 million in 1981 and is now worth $575 million. The commissioner announced lifetime ban while the investigation continues. The league's players association had called for Silver to hit Sterling with the most severe penalties. “Whether there's a sanction that includes a hefty fine... the players feel very strongly that Sterling is not fit to be an owner and a part of this NBA family.“ The announcement brought a slew of sponsors (Adidas, KIA, RedBull, State Farm) distancing themselves from the team and a host of other owners and team officials condemning the comments attributed to Sterling.
