“Maximum sanction?”
I thought owning the Clippers WAS the maximum sanction.

Kevin Johnson is a class act through-and-through. Squeaky clean, never been involved in a scandal. Can’t think of a better spokesman for the players.
As a health professional I’ve noticed that several photos of Donald Tokowitz Sterling show he has massively bloated abdomen. That is more often from an enlarged failing liver and fluid accumulation from a lifetime of alcohol abuse rather than the fat of morbid obesity.
Behaviors such as vile vulgar language and a circle of enablers who assist in avoiding consequences are classics of alcohol abusers.
That he may also have an alcohol abuse problem is another behavior for which he should be held accountable.
An NBA team is a franchise. This owner has caused the following:
- Departure of advertisers, en masse
- Boycott from fans and community
- Likely never sign another free agent
Seems like enough to void his franchise agreement and force a sale.
