Banned for life from any contact of any kind with the Clippers. Barred from attending any league activities. Fining him $2.5 million, maximum amount allowed under NBA Constitution. Will be donated to groups who work to reduce discrimination.
Will urge NBA Board of Governors to force a sale of team. Owners have authority based on vote of 3/4 of owners to remove him as an owner.
Said he spoke with several owners and have their full support.
Wow, Entertainment Tonight (!!) reporter asks the tough question - you have known this guy was a racist asshole for some time, why only doing something now?
Another good question - does doing this to a person who made comments in private a "slippery slope?" I think Cuban had that one planted.
