Sterling = Stupid

For a guy who was savvy enough to own an NBA franchise, Donald Sterling really is dumb.  After agreeing to sell the LA Clippers to the former CEO of Microsoft last week, Sterling has now changed his crazy racist mind and wants to keep the team and sue the NBA for banning him from the sport at the same time.  In other words, he is passing up $2 billion (with a "b") in favor of looking like an idiot and probably killing the value of the team.  What exactly is going on inside his head that makes him think that keeping the Clippers at this point is a good idea?  That two billion dollars will certainly not be there if he succeeds at keeping the team for another season and I will tell you why:

• 1)  No free agent will ever sign there as long as he is owner and his team will be made up of drafted players who will only play there until their rookie contract expires (and even then, I would be surprised if even they don't boycott from Day 1).
• 2) No one will pay to watch the games of a team owned by him, so he will be losing money like crazy through abysmal ticket sales.
• 3) No company in their right mind will sponsor his team while he is there because it will kill their company image, so once again, no money coming in from TV and arena sponsors.
• 4) The franchise will lose so much money as long as he is owner that the Clippers will be worth a fraction as much as it was going to sell for last week, so there goes that $2 billion dollars Sterling could have had if he wasn't such a racist idiot.

So, what does Sterling think he will gain by keeping the Clippers at this point other than to stroke his own ego?  Is a billion dollar loss worth that?  If the answer is yes to him, then it just proves that he is insane and shouldn't be allowed to own an NBA team and if I were his opponent's lawyers, that would be my first argument in court.  This whole situation is ridiculous and it keeps getting better/funnier with every word out of Sterling's racist mouth.  Do you know who isn't stupid?  Sterling's wife.  She is trying to get the court to overrule Sterling's stupidity and force the sale of the team.  You know, so that she doesn't lose billions of dollars unlike like her idiot of a husband.  Let's see what dumb decision he makes next (I'm crossing my fingers for an illegitimate kid from a black mother to come forward).
