The Ocho 970 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well you said "have the players..." so I assumed you meant it would be organized. It would get Silver fired, but the players wouldn't care about that. I think the main obstacle is that this story is going to cool down and they will lose a lot of their immunity to overreact to shit over the summer. It would have to be a team with a lot of white players who don't make too much money, if you don't want the narrative hijacked and the story to have any overtones about rich, entitled niggers interfering with a capitalist's billion dollar business Silver would not get fired. Owners and players love him. This has nothing to do with him, he just has to be at the front of a decision. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 It's not actually his fault, but when you take over and instantly teams things are so out of control that teams are mutinying, people are going to want blood, amd he would probably be fired. Well liked executives get throw under the bus all the time, and I can hardly think of a situation where it seemed more likely. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm with Guapo on this one. I think Silver will be fine. It's so sad that this crap is coming out during the best first round ever. Link to post Share on other sites

It's so sad that this crap is coming out during the best first round ever. I think Silver will be fine too. Because I don't think players are going to organize a boycott due to Silver failing to wrestle the team away from a racist. But if they do, I think it's pretty unlikely that he will be fine.

How many black people will ever have the chance to burn a white billionaire like that, live on network television? Call this another Win for a Winner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Honestly, I had kind of forgotten about what a total idiot Sterling is. I always recall this article as one of my fav on SI when I had a subscription: http://sportsillustr.../9737/index.htm Thats 14 years ago. Its nice the Clippers players did something today, but I'm guessing none of them should be surprised they work for a racist piece of sh*t, and overall assh*le. They've been taking his money for some time, so lets not get too high and mighty. Link to post Share on other sites

He should have his girlfriend -- who is super pissed at him -- bail him out with her crass wit and expert testimony. She could say he isn't really a racist and that the recording was just for that Bigot Blackmail Femdom fetish I'm into. Badda bing, badda bang. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This is pretty much exactly how I guessed it would happened, based on only rough understanding of other leagues and my own Winner's intuition. I really need to stop second guessing myself when other people claim to know things and they are the opposite of what I think. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
