Y'know, the more I watch everyone in America dumping on Donald Sterling, the more my feelings about it all match those of Mike Pesca, who feels the punishment is not fitting the crime.
I guess when I or anyone says that, they have to make it perfectly clear with emphasis that they believe racism is evil and that Sterling, from what little we know about him, seems like a pretty awful excuse for a human being…so I'll say all that. But something just feels wrong to me about making this guy into The Worst Criminal in the World when he has committed no crime and had no trial, all based on a private conversation. I don't believe he was "set up" and made to seem like something he's not by the person(s) who leaked the possibly-illegal recording of him. But…well, read what Mr. Pesca wrote. Mark Cuban is right. In America, people are allowed to be morons. We don't have the right to hang them in the town square just to prove how much we loathe racism.
