Reactionary or not, the comments were made. Am I saying he (LJ) should be punished by law? No. But he is an executive in the NBA and blanket statements like that that could be controversial in nature should be evaluated by league office. Regardless race, creed, reason, whatever. At least that's the precedent that is being set here.
(and before someone twists this into me being a Donald Sterling supporter, no. Just stop. I'm happy he's banned for life because his words were detrimental to the organization that is the NBA as a whole and as a private body the NBA has the full right and authority to punish that... And I agree with the actions they took)
