General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The Magic Johnson Instagram photo that began the Donald Sterling racist freak out: [View all]Jordan, now the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, released a statement Sunday addressing the matter. He said that as an owner, "I'm completely disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views."
As a former player, Jordan says "I'm completely outraged."
Jordan said he is confident that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will investigate the matter fully and "take appropriate action quickly."
"There is no room in the NBA or anywhere else for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed," Jordan said. "I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level."
I think the team owners might be able to make him sell his team but I'm not sure.
