As the title reads, the entire Sterling case is a demonstration of the loss of freedom of speech in America and of the entirely lop-sided racial bias in the country.
So Sterling made some bad, questionable, and racist statements. So what? If you take offense, boycott his games and start a movement or something. But to ban a man from the NBA and fine him 2.5 million for exercising our freedom of speech as guaranteed by the 1st is outrageous! If those in the public spotlight are no longer allowed to use the 1st, I ask how long will we have before ours is gone?
Also, I beg the reader to consider the question, what if Sterling were black, and he made anti-white comments? I'll tell you. The president wouldn't get involved, the team wouldn't act like they have, and you bet the Commissioner wouldn't be issuing a lifetime ban. In fact, there would be greater outrage if the Commissioner did order a ban placed on the black owner.
The evidence clearly points to a serious flaw in our society as it stands today.
