Great point. Absolutely agree that Sterling's prior actions were far worse and should have led to his removal. I do disagree on Cuban though. This isn't his attempt to defend Sterling, or listen to himself talk. This is Cuban speaking on the larger issue of removing an owner based on how they think or feel. I see this as Cuban trying to protect himself and his team. I think this Cuban quote says it all, "None of us have pure thoughts; we all live in glass houses." He's saying it's hypocritical for him to vote to remove Sterling, based on Sterling's bigoted thoughts, when he has bigoted thoughts of his own. All that said, your original point is valid. Sterling's record of discrimination suits should have been enough to remove him on its own. It's ridiculous that the NBA didn't take action years ago.

I think in Cuban's mind (right or wrong), there is hypocrisy in voting out Sterling for how he thinks or feels. If I were an owner, I wouldn't be thrilled to see an owner lose his team like this, regardless of how awful Sterling's comments were. He's trying to protect his asset. For example, Cuban had an incident with an insensitive gay joke in the past. Granted, the incident was tame in comparison, this is where the slippery slope comes in. I think he's protecting himself. I don't blame him. I still believe Sterling should lose the team, but I can see where Cuban is coming from.
It will be interesting to see how people respond to this. It is pretty sad that in our society someone making common sense statements like this is a possible controversy. It will be interesting to see if the race baiters fire up the howling mob this time or not.
I assume they are smarter then that because if they try to go after Cuban as well then I think the insanity of their agenda would be made way to clear for everyone to see.

Why is it that if you are in position of power and want to be a bigot, i.e. Sterling, it has too be closeted? I wish people were more open about their opinions.
I love how a guy like Charles Barkley is an ass hole in society because he says what a lot of us think, but a guy like David Robinson is classy because he has no opinion on anything. On a side note, Ernie, Kenny and Shaq should give 50% of their paycheck to Charles, without him, nobody would watch.

Cuban's being honest, his detractors are not
Is there any person that didn't say or think something negative about another person at some point in their life?
It doesn't make you racist, doesn't make you a bad person, and certainly doesn't mean you think you're superior to another race
Damn, pretty white girls have pissed me off many a time, I'm still OK with them
Political correctness has gone too far in this country. Collectively, we're a punch of fucking pussies. It has to stop
