So Adam Silver the commissioner of the NBA has just announced that Donald Sterling will be banned for life from the NBA and forced to sell his team along with a 2.5 Million dollar fine.

In my opinion this was the right thing to do! There is no room for racism in the NBA. No room for racism anywhere.
Share your thoughts on the actions taken! Do you agree or disagree?

Are you aware of the situation? And are you stupid? How is this the right thing to do???
EVERYBODY, I don't care who you are, has made a racist comment in their life. It doesn't matter which group it was toward, or whether it was serious or a joke, we have all done it. To deny it would simply be telling everyone you are a liar. So they don't want the negativity he has drawn to the league, okay go ahead and ban him. His players would end up refusing to play for him and he would have to sell the team anyway, so just make him sell it now, cool. But a 2.5mil fine??? That is beyond crazy. I have been the victim of far worse acts of racism than someone telling their girlfriend not to associate with me or my race, and do those people deserve a 2.5mil fine? No. This is an example of when a punishment clearly doesn't fit the crime.

You must not know how much the guy is worth 2.5mil is pocket change.

Was this about the racist thing?
If so then I'm not against the bad.

That might be true, but being forced to sell your team that is worth $500 million+ is just ridiculous.
