As great as it sounds to rid the league of Sterling, it seems like there is no realistic way to oust him. And really, private speech shouldn't be punishable unless it is discriminatory. That also leads to a much more fitting exit IMO. I think the people and the players have the power to make it the best option for Sterling to sell. This really wouldn't be an issue based on evidence of poor business practices but the people and players making a decision on what business they want to support or play for. It sends a very different message when customers just don't want to purchase products from a racist than an oppressive governing body dictating what happens.

I also want to say, and it's been discussed by others publicly, that the issue here has less to do with his private belief system and more to do with how what he believes has or will affect other people's lives. Hopefully, no one is naive enough to believe that a racist can own large businesses and not discriminate in any way. I think those who feel racism itself is no big deal allow it to live and are by association hurting other people's lives in the future.

How so, if he owns the majority of the stocks?

BTW, are you saying there is no business owners, no CEOs out there are racists?

CEOs and business owners try to stay outside of social/socioeconomic commentary as much as possible.
