The last shoe is yet to fall in this matter, regardless of the NBA sanction and how the owners vote, this man has the money to chase this through as far as need be, considering that the "tape" requires both participants to agree to release it in California.
His selected remarks, presumed not edited, but still out of the 100 hours of supposed recordings to which he did not consent, were recorded illegally it seems, and released without regard to the law.
For that, someone should be made to pay him.
My guess is the words he spoke, are words he has spoken for a long time, his attitude and language known by many who knew him, along with many who took his money, and looked the other way.
It sounded to me like he was saying: Don't publicly insult me by bringing your lovers to my private Owners Box at games. Pertinent to him was their color, coaxed by the GF in the conversation... his Black/Latino girlfriend was dating, presumably having sex with, in addition to him a HIV positive man, who happens to be black, and flaunting this using the special seating he gave to her.
I don't care about him, or his team, just saying if private recorded conversations are fair game for being banned, taking away his rights and property using a illegally recorded and released by TMZ tape, then we need to recognize that standard, and have it apply to all who use racial remarks, including YOU, including at least any recorded words such as these for anyone, including words spoken by players, words spoken by Representatives, and Senators, and all public and private discourse.
Is that what WE want? Maybe it is, and let the 'penalty time' begin.
