I can't recall any NBA or any other team OWNERS making statements like this I don't either. By "have done worse" I don't mean making statements, I mean worse than just making a statement, cheating, borderline criminal activity, or actual crimes. Also I'm not limiting it to owners. I do see how with or without any sanctions from the NBA it would be very difficult for him to continue to operate as an owner after making such a statement. No free agents would sign with the team, attendance would be down, TV ratings would be down, merchandise sales might fall through the floor, and just the general climate of hostility to himself that he created would cause problems (and none of those reactions would be at all unreasonable). I think it's best for all involved that he sell the team as soon as he can, and that until then he has little to nothing to do with managing it. But actual criminals don't get lifetime bans, and he just mouthed off. Hateful bigoted mouthing off to be sure, but it seems like a lot of people have lost perspective on this.
