Donald Sterling and his estranged wife Rochelle are co-owners of the Clippers. Their billions came from real estate. The Sterlings were racist slumlords before becoming racist basketball team owners. In 2006 the Justice Department brought a discrimination lawsuit against them. In 2009, they settled, paying a fine of $2.76 million. A legal problem has now arisen concerning whether the other NBA owners can force the Sterlings to sell the team. After all, owning a basketball team is just another business. Can a business owner be forced to sell his/her business? That goes against the rules of capitalism.
