King of Over Reaction? Or The Right Call?

I believe that the NBA made both the correct call and an incorrect call by banning Donald Sterling and charging him 2.5 million in fines, although I believe that it was very smart of the NBA to ban him and charge him the 2.5 million in fines I believe they should have also forced him to sell the team, because even though he can now no longer go to the games he still gets the money from the profits of his team and when it comes to the point when HE wants to sell the Clippers he will be the one who gets the money! Although sure his team make take in a hit in value and audience in the long run he will be the one who profits.  What do you think should the NBA have taken the drastic measures it did?

    I also agree that they should make Donald Sterling sell the team. Although this is a very risky move, I think it is the right thing to do. I think this way because without Donald Sterling managing the game, it is very hard to find a coach. Plus, just because he is the owner of the NBA basketball team doesn't mean that he can't be removed. By selling the team, they will have a new manager quickly. By removing the team itself, it would reduce a lot of work. I think that these people should really think about what they should do with this team.

    I think the NBA should have done more to Donald Sterling. He is a billionaire, I'm sure that losing 2.5 million isn't a very big deal to him. Eventually ole' Donny boy will die or the NBA will force him to sell the team, and then someone else will buy the team. I'm positive that the Clippers will get very low amounts of viewership and then Sterling will have to give up the team. I hope that Magic Johnson buys the team, I've also heard that Matt Damon and Oprah also interested in purchasing the team.
