It's been a while since I've posted a rant, but here we go.
You know, as much as I understand the outrage over what Donald Sterling said, I can't get behind the extreme punishment. Who decides when it's okay to cross into the dangerous territory of severely punishing someone for what was said in the privacy of their own home?
I don't care if a recording was made of it, he still said it in his home, and it's not like he made a death threat against anyone, admitted to killing someone, or said anything else to endanger anyone.
Call him out for it, call him a racist jerk, call him a twat, embarrass him, make fun of his ignorant, douchey comments. But to permanently ban him and attempt to force the sale of his team for it? I call bullshit.
If this sort of invasion of privacy happened to everyone... well, based on the number of times I've said I'd like to bludgeon someone with a shovel, or the number of times I've openly admitted I will go all vigilante bitch mom on anyone who hurts my children, I should be locked in a padded room and be eating Valium and crayons for breakfast.
But then again, I'm not a wealthy celebrity type person with valuable property, am I?
