    By the way, I'm not calling for Shaq to be banned, or for Sterling not to be banned. Sterling is getting exactly what he deserves. I just wanted to point out that Shaq has a history of making racially insensitive comments, as well as making very immature decisions on social media, including this latest Instagram stupidity. Yet, he is a part owner of an NBA team, and no one seems to care.

    Lets see banned for life for making rascist comments that were illegally recorded during a private conversation. No punishment at all for publically mocking someone with a physical deformity. Talk about a bull shit double standard.

    Less than 30% of the NBA teams have a black head coach, the Clippers do, not only do they have one of the few black coaches in the league they have the highest paid coach in the league. Certainly, does not seem like he was letting his bigotry get in the way of business. Suspend Shaq and Burke.

    Someone should tell Donald Sterling all he has to do is call and apologize and he will be fine.

    Ray Rice just beat the living shit out of his fiance. He's sorry though, so it's ok

    Michael Vick murdered animals. He's sorry though

    He works as an announcer for TNT, has press credentials and therefore should be prohibited from participating in NBA events, attending games etc. In addition to all that he is a minority owner with the Kings.

    How soon do you all think Jessie or Al would have been on the air calling for the head of Rush Limbaugh, Ernie Johnson, or any other white media person had they done this.

    In all fairness everyone makes mistakes of different magnitudes. I don't think there is anything wrong in admitting it and apologizing for it.

    You are always able to see your nose. Your brain just chooses to ignore it.
