Frankly I am surprised at how strong of a response the NBA has issued and applaud them for it.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver  has announced that Donald Sterling, the hopefully soon to be former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, has been banned for life from the NBA.
Silver indicated that following their  investigation they determined it was Sterling who made the offensive comments caught on an audiotape. TMZ released the tape over the weekend and the Internet has been non-stopped in their outrage and the team has been shedding sponsors like water the last two days.
Silver indicated the league is fining Sterling $2.5 million. His recommendation to the other NBA owners’ is that they vote him out of and force him to sell the team. Reportedly Magic Johnson is already in the wings ready to buy the team if it becomes available.Â
