It's just hard to put a lot of weight into the ethical wrongdoings of a guy that's (as far as i know) not a criminal, but just colorfully ignorant and stupid, but with the power to (up until this point) do so. What bothers me far more is someone like Sterling who was just virulently, proudly evil, or more essential to my point Robert Kraft, who's been tied to everything from cheating in his sport, to having literal murderers on his team, to being directly tied to sex trafficking, but skating away scott free, because in this world 1) he has accumulated an immense amount of social and financial capital, and 2) he's considered "a winner," and obviously it's not as though these are mutually exclusive points either. It's not the lone example of institutional wrongdoing/shadiness in sports, not even close to the most extreme, but imo probably the best encapsulation of the hocus pocus that is "justice" in this country. And it's just sad man
