NBA: you can take all the dangerous doping you want, but if you make a racial comment you're banned for life!

American sport is such a joke.

Note: I do not condone racism (in fact, I write my thesis on racism in antiquity), but this is blatant hypocrisy.


Look into this more. He did A LOT more than just make a racist comment. He said tons of degrading comments , and alienated himself from almost every demographic. The clippers would lose a lot of money keeping him.

I'm not saying he didn't have it coming, but it seems like obvious hypocrisy to not condone this, but condone something that's a much bigger problem in professional sport.
