While I find him to be an ignorant bigot, I find the punishment to be quite harsh. Those were his private beliefs not meant to be made public. I'm sure he wouldn't have said those thing knowing that it would. That chick is a money grubbing fame whore. They're actually a great fit for one another.

I don't find the punishment harsh because Sterling knew what the consequences of an action like this could be when he became an owner of the Clippers.

I read this today:

Several league officials – including owners and Board of Governors members – told Yahoo Sports they believe Silver has been studying the nuclear option on Sterling: a provision in the NBA's bylaws that would allow Silver to summon a vote of league owners to strip Sterling of his ownership. The NBA would run the Clippers until the team could be sold.

So it's within the rules to force an owner to sell their team in a situation like this. Sterling knew that, yet he didn't care. Can't really feel sorry for him if you ask me.
