I believe that the conversation being leaked already was the perfect, sufficient and just "punishment". That has hurt him more than any money fine ever would. Just like it is the case with other forms of intolerance (anti-semitism, general xenophobia etc.), harshly punishing racist remarks will never help adressing the actual problem, it just leads to people trying to disguise politically incorrect attitudes like intolerance in public. |
Maybe, but this isn't about punishing him. If it were, they would have punished him for his previous racist behavior. This is about the NBA protecting itself and one of its franchises.
