Great post.Brickowski said:I know, the poor guy is having one billion forced down his throat (I assue his estranged wife gets the other half) like a goose being force fed to make pate. My heart bleeds for him.
In this country we have freedom of contract. He agreed to the governance scheme of the NBA which has made the owners rich and will soon make him even richer than he was. He agreed to the terms of the family trust. Why should a court get involved? Are judges experts on the issue of mental competency? Does every dispute have to get adjudicated at the taxpayers' expense?
As for his "unpopular opinions" there are places where people are shot, or stoned, or jailed for unpopular opinions instead of being forced to take a $985,000,000 profit on their initial $15M investment.
Sterling signed a franchise agreement with one of the terms being to not do stupid shit that would make 15 corporate sponsors walk away from the NBA product while causing the players to discuss boycotting games as long as Sterling owns the team. He did not live up to those terms. This isn't very difficult to comprehend from where I'm sitting.
I do agree however that this is a great country.
