Donald Sterling has been banned for life from the NBA.
Question: Presumably, Sterling assumed he was having a private conversation. Do we have the right to punish people for private conversation, regardless of how repugnant that conversation is?
I think Sterling is a pig but I struggle with the notion that Americans cannot have private conversations without the public’s prying eye. Help me through this obvious psuh me/pull me feeling. I had the same conflict with Dawg the Bounty Hunter. He assumed his conversation was private.
Absolutely people are responsible for their public words.
