The repugnance of the remarks and player outrage propelled Commissioner Silver to act rapidly, but this isn’t the first time that Sterling has made racially repugnant comments. He has offered, in his capacity as a slumlord, stereotypical and pejorative attitudes toward African Americans, Hispanics and others, as documented in a lawsuit he settled for millions of dollars. These facts were public but if there was a reaction, it was muted. Did players and the NBA ignore this because he wasn’t speaking of basketball players, but of people who could afford nothing more that the dilapidated housing that Sterling owned and refused to repair?
