They say its due to social media, which might be true to a point but newspapers have been around just as long and its not like we dont know how to read much less watch a TV.
I just think that people want to feel like they are a part of something so if something perks their interest then BAAM, on the bandwagon we go.
The whole private club thing is BS. Yeah you have a contract with that entity but that does not give them the right to act against your best interest. I would think that forcing him to sell against his will much less at a lower than market value could be questionable and perhaps, a risk at finding abuse of power on the NBA's behalf. He has to be compensated for market value otherwise...I could see a court taking this up.
For fucks sake, its not like he had blacks tied up in his backyard doing work for him...he said some hurtful things, lost some sponsorships and what not. He got banned, fined and condemned for his words; the selling of the team is separate for that so what is the justification behind forcing the selling of the team? He has already received punishment...
I am looking at this from both angles, which parties have the leverage in each situation. The NBA punished him and now they are separately trying to alienate him by forcing the sale of the team. He can argue that this is an abuse of power, punishment has already been doled out...I don’t know
I don’t agree with him but I also have an issue with a private organization being able to remove me from my vested interest without proper compensation at the least.
