I think Cuban's comments are very revealing in that some, perhaps many, of the owners are going to vote begrudgingly to oust Sterling solely because of the players' and the public's outrage, but not because of what Sterling actually said. Let us not forget the family that owns the Magic are shameless bigots, after all. Oh, and he is very forthright in examining his own prejudices.
