Ignorance...Scram, let's Eracism!

First thing I think...What would Jackie do? The donald sterling situation has been going on for years, in basketball and his other business ventures. This has got to be the end, at least it should be. Unfortunately, the owners/league cannot force him to sell. He loves to go to court and isn't afraid to get sued. Freedom of speech is legit, we all have it and should. But, come on, there finally needs to be some consequences for this behavior. Do the Clippers players and coaches have any choice? If Doc Rivers leaves, it would be a strong statement! If Chris Paul or Blake Griffin go, there's another one. These guys are taking part in some of the best playoffs I've ever seen in the NBA. I don't think it's the players jobs to punish this fool. But, who would want to play for an ignorant and racist owner. What should the league do? What should the players do? The owners and commish need to do something, and quick! The public can take a stand too. We can stop going to games where the Clippers play, home and away. We choose what businesses to support and give money. I would like to see something big happen! As Mark Jackson of the Warriors mentioned, why not have an empty Staples for the playoff game this week. Fans can stand up and make a difference too. That would be incredible!!! If the players keep playing and don't take a stand, then he still makes money. If the players boycott I would be inspired and it's totally courageous! But, if they do play, it's not wrong. The league and the owners need to take control of this situation, NOW! not tomorrow or the next day. I keep thinking What would Jackie (JR42) do?
