They can force him to sell. That is why the guy said he will urge the lead of board governors to force it to happen. But you are right that even if he doesn't sell that the lose of all these sponsorships will end him, and that alone will lead him to selling the team. |
My only concern now in regards to the selling of the team is who gets the money once the team is sold? The Clippers could conceivably sell for $600+ million. Would Sterling get that money? And would anyone be willing to spend that type of money, give that type of money to a self-identified racist? That would be an awful way to start for a new ownership group.
Hopefully he's forced to sell the team for a nickel and the Hansen group swoops and moves the team to Seattle. That's my dream scenario, tbh.
But this was a fantastic first step by the league and the new commissioner. I hope the players feel vindicated and that their voices were heard.
I agree with banning him from games, talking to teammates, and even from the NBA forever...but forcing him to sell his team is a little much.
