Should Donald Sterling be allowed to keep the l. A. Clippers Basketball Team . A poll Shows Americans are divided. Incredibly surprising. The league banned sterling for life after the comments that were made and recorded on line. We know this by now. The interesting thing opinions are split over whether he should be forced to sell the team. A cnn orc poll of more than 1,000 americans, look, 47 believe he should have to divest his interests. But despite all of the outrage, all of the news coverage, everything which has been said about this, 50 dont think so. We should say that is within the polls sampling era. If the other nba owners decide sterling does have to sell the clippers, the billionaire could fight back through the court. Reporter as the clippers launch into the second round of playoffs tonight, another court is warming up legal court. At center, embattled clippers owner Donald Sterling. The only limitation is a lawyers korea test in terms of who to sue and how to sue to drag this out. Reporter playing defense says this attorney is sterlings first move after the nba banned him from the league for life. Despite that harsh ban.

Sterling says of the commissions ban of her husband, i fully supported his recent swift and decisive action. While it see action. While it seems to undermine her husband, dont be so quick to bench this player. In one sense, her interests are very much allained with donald. That is the one winning play for donald and his heirs which would include shelly would be making this litigation so protracted and complex that the court case outlives Donald Sterling. Reporter why . For the lucrative end game. Avoid taxes on a force and rapid sale of the team. With sterling alive, a sale today means a potential tax on hundreds of millions in profit. As an inheritance, that tax shrinks significantly. Its why some lawyers believe the sterlings may even head to Divorce Court as straytegic move adding another strategic move adding another court. And in an interview with barbara walters, steviano says sterling is not a racist, but his word dont match what he feels. Mr. Sterlings right hand, arm, man. Mr. Sterling, im his everything. Im his confidante, his best friend, his silly rabbit. Is she a part of all of this legal maneuvering behind the scenes . Somehow im skeptical that shes a real player in all of this. Maybe theres a book deal or shortlived tv show in her future. I dont see this as a longterm play. Resign Donald Sterling moving forward with his legal play reportedly calling major law firms.
