Comments on Advance Indiana™: NBA Owners Ban Sterling For Life, Pill-Popping Irsay Still Not Charged

Interesting analogy here:

-In both cases the League knew of problems as did the media and public. In the case of Sterling, they never took proper action until the actions escalated to an ugly media explosion. In the case of Irsay, there was world-wide media coverage, yet no action taken by The League.

On another take, why hasn't Mayor Ballard gotten on his bully pulpit and denounced the repeated bad acts that have brought Indianapolis into world-wide disgrace by Irsay's actions?

Does Mayor Ballard think Indianapolis should be represented the same likes as Toronto, Canada is in the public eye?

Gary: Yes, ask any defense attorney or prosecutor in the donut counties. Marion County has their own lab.

I have to shake my head in wonder whenever I hear the Mega-Media talk about Sports providing a role model for young people. Besides the Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll lifestyles, we have the Performance Enhancing drug use. The use Steroids has forever stained Baseball with the sudden smashing of home run records.

The owner of the Clippers is married but parades his mistress around in public.

I suppose we will now hear, "The System Works" since Sterling may be banned.

The economic Sports Model is a failure. The Leagues combines a Monopoly Control over ownership and the the number teams. Ownership is restricted. The Owners and some players can cash in on the LOGO Paraphernalia - Capitalism. Now the third leg of the stool is the collection of tax dollars to build and maintain stadiums.

I feel confident Irsay will emerge with minimal criminal damage. Irsay may spread money around to some Non-Profits to prove he is a "Good Corporate Citizen." I just do not see our Local Media or Police delving deep into the Blue Trust, who the supplier was for the drugs, etc.

haven't we covered this? 9-12 months is standard time to file blood draw result cases outside of Marion County. Irsay's case will likely be much sooner due to the attention, but still probably a month or two more at least.

Stirling said MUCH WORSE than what you have written here, Gary, about the culture in which he says he lives and supports, that treats blacks like dogs. Of course, NBA wanted to shut his debauched self up, since gullible Americans are not 'permitted' to know, much less discuss, such actions and attitudes in his "culture" about which outspoken Stirling spoke.

Sadly, money talks and pill popper walks. He will be free to go on his stupid, self centered tweets.

I would think Irsay not being able to control his rants during the SB in Indy between NE and Giants, about Peyton and Colts would be enough not get the game. HEY JIM!!! YOUR TEAM IS NOT IN THE SB! IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU! THEY EARNED IT - YOU DIDN'T! SHUT UP!

These libs don't know when to quit pushing.

I've said worse than him, so I'll accept my lifetime ban from the NBA, as well.
