Racism? Why?

    On Tuesday the owner of the clippers (Donald Sterling) was banned from the National Basketball Association for saying racist things against African Americans. What I do not get is that he said that yet most of his team (The Clippers) is black people. What I also don't get is that all he did is say something racist I mean that's pretty horrible but getting kicked out and fined two point five million dollars is a little bit to much in my opinion. I think that the NBA over reacted to the racism do you think the NBA over reacted?
