No billionaire or multimillionaire would enter into a co-op business business venture with out the ability to get rid of bad eggs.

The NFL has to vote to allow a new owner and they can vote to eject a new owner.

According to an NBA legal expert I was listening to on the drive in this morning there are guidelines that the NBA would have to play by to vote him out. And a bigoted statement made is private is far from meeting those guidelines. He also said that Sterling was ready for that fight and would not be willing to sell the team.

My favorite part of the interview is when he said Sterling probably already has dirt on half of the other owners and certain things they had said in private. So kind of a "throw the first stone, if I'm out they are out" defense.

I'm not defending him as I think he should be thrown out. But it could get ugly fast for the NBA. Of course, that would be part of the fun.
