Donald Sterling vs. NBA : "Fighting to the Bloody End"
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced a lifetime suspension and a $2.5 million fine for the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday during a press conference that will be remembered as a landmark moment in league history. The punishment was levied just days after audio recordings of Sterling making racist comments were released by TMZ and Deadspin. Headline: Clippers owner Donald Sterling vows to ‘fight to the bloody end’ in battle over team Headline: Attorney: Donald Sterling agrees to sell Clippers The "bloody end" may end up without blood but 2 billion-dollar cash. Sterling's modest investment of 12 million in 1981 turned into 2,000 million. Not bad at all. Even the "fight to the bloody end" can not stand against the record 2 billion dollar profit in the sale. I know white people talk something like that all the time when they are together in a private place. I remember having heard so much of such talks about black bashing and racist remarks in the operating room while I was in medical practice. I just loved the phrase of "fight to the bloody end" regardless of whatever it was for. Just like the case of Donald's "fight to the bloody end", the same fight of mine ended up to what I am today. Well, alas, my fight didn't end up with 2 billion dollars but it ended up enough financial security and freedom. In the end, there was no blood at all but I got something that is way beyond what I expected 50 years ago when I arrived at the new world. Here, I love the mentality of fighting to the bloody end. If one keeps the same mentality and attitude, he may not see the blood at the end but he may see a happy and prosperous ending. Even after all those fights are over, I still like to live in the spirit of fighting to the bloody end. June 9, 2014 |

In one word after I read your statement
- "In a group psychology, people are much more brave...",
I would say "you're a man among men".
And
I solute to you with Frank Sinatra's "My Way";

Donald Sterling changed his mind and, as of yesterday, he will continue suing NBA for 1 billion dollars
and try not to sell Clippers, even at 2 billion bucks. That a boy !
However, NBA says he doesn't have the authority to stop the sale by his family trust.
The Sterling family trust is run by his wife and she can sell Clippers without Donald's approval.
We will watch how the drama turns and runs.
