    They're donating the money. I don't think it's as big of an issue as you want it to be.

    A garnishing of wages, of sorts, I presume? If each team gets X amount of dollars for TNT broadcast rights, Clippers get X-2.5 million.

    Perhaps, but I don't think that would actually help the league. Like Sly said, they might use the non pay of the fine to expedite and further reason to force him to sell.
    I don't think they are going to get both, maybe the punishment sounds good to the offended, but I don't think they can make it stick. Unless Sterling just goes along
    with the whole nine yards.

    Re: How would you protest?

    Because brown would be honoring the fact Donald Sterling is a piece of shit.

    maybe sterling is christian, if so, he would HAVE to pay it, or else he would be disobeying a direct order from the jesus

    the fine is window dressing

    I thought the league was justified in their actions, however after actually listening to the entire conversation I think the league's actions were unwarranted. They're just trying to please fans, players, advertisers...

    You think the NBA will go broke if he doesn't pay? People will riot? The only person who is hurt if Sterling doesn't pay is Sterling.

    No I don't think they will go broke. I do think the new commish will look a little foolish for making a penalty he can't make stick. After Sterling is forced out, it won't hurt him one little bit
    if he doesn't pay.

    I don't think Jesus has a hand in this game. I think the fine was for show for the offended and the commish has no chance to make it stick.

    On second though, perhaps Jesus reminding us, "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord". Partners forcing out a partner is fine, but the fine is an attempt at vengeance.
