Clippers owner Sterling banned for life by the NBA
Posted Apr 29, 2014 2:42 PM
NEW YORK (AP) -- Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned
for life by the NBA in response to racist comments the league says he made in
a recorded conversation.
洛杉磯快艇隊老闆Donald Sterling被NBA終生停權,以回應種族主義者的言論在一個錄
音的對話中。
Commissioner Adam Silver said he will try to force the controversial owner to
sell his franchise. Sterling has also been fined $2.5 million, and Silver
made no effort to hide his outrage over the comments.
Silver說他將會嘗試強迫Sterling賣快艇隊。Sterling也被罰款250萬美元,Silver並沒
有在聲明中隱藏他的憤怒。
He said a league investigation found that the league's longest-tenured owner
was in fact the person on the audiotapes that were released over the weekend.
"We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling's views," Silver said. "They
simply have no place in the NBA."
Silver說假日中釋出的錄音帶中講話的人正是Sterling。"我們站在一起譴責Sterling的
觀點"Silver說,"他們(這些觀點)在NBA沒有容身之地。"
Sterling acknowledged he was the man on the tape, Silver said.
Sterling承認他自己就是錄音帶中的男子,Silver說。
Sterling is immediately barred from attending any NBA games or practices, be
present at any Clippers office or facility, or participate in any business or
player personnel decisions involving the team.
Sterling很快的被限制出席任何NBA的賽事或者練習、出席在任何快艇的辦公室或設施、
或參加任何和球隊有關的商務以及球員人事決定。
He also cannot participate in any league business going forward.
他也不能加入之後任何聯盟的生意。
"This league is far bigger than any one owner, any one coach and any one
player," Silver said.
"這個聯盟遠大於任何一個擁有者、任何一個教練或任何一個球員",Silver說。
The fine will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination
and tolerance efforts that will be jointly selected by the NBA and the
Players Association, Silver said.
這筆罰款將會捐贈到由NBA、NBPA選出的反歧視及相關貢獻的組織。
Sterling's comments were released over the weekend by TMZ and Deadspin, and
numerous NBA owners and players have condemned them. Even President Barack
Obama weighed in on the crisis, the first of Silver's brief tenure as
commissioner.
周末由TMZ公布和Deadspin,許多NBA老闆和球員譴責。甚至總統Obama稱其為這是Silver
當總裁的的第一項危機。
Before Silver took the podium, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted out
a photo of the NBA Constitution, saying "It exists for a reason."
在Silver聲明前,小牛隊老闆Mark Cuban推了一張NBA章程的照片,說"它為了一個理由
存在"。
The announcement of the sanctions came just hours before the Clippers will
play Golden State in Game 5 of a knotted-up Western Conference first-round
playoff series.
這項聲明在快艇與勇士的第五戰前幾小時宣布。
Several sponsors either terminated or suspended their business dealings with
the team on Monday, though individual deals that some of those companies have
with Clippers stars like Chris Paul and Blake Griffin will continue and were
not affected. Still, it was a clear statement that companies, like just about
everyone inside the league, were outraged.
許多贊助廠商在禮拜一終止或暫停與快艇的合作,雖然和個別球員合約如Chris Paul及
Blake Griffin將會持續不會受影響。並且有公司憤怒明確聲明。
The issues raised when the tapes were released over the weekend represent
just another chapter in Sterling's long history of being at the center of
controversy.
這只是Sterling長期的爭議另外一章。
In the past, he's faced extensive federal charges of civil rights violations
and racial discrimination in his business dealings, and some of his
race-related statements would be described as shocking.
過去他已經受到廣泛的聯邦指控,對於公民權的破壞、商業中的種族歧視,和一些種族
相關的的言論。
He has also been sued in the past for sexual harassment by former employees,
and even the woman who goes by the name "V. Stiviano" - purportedly the
female voice on the tapes at the center of this scandal - describes Sterling
in court documents as a man "with a big toothy grin brandishing his sexual
prowess in the faces of the Paparazzi and caring less what anyone else
thought, the least of which, his own wife."
他也被之前的員工控告性騷擾以及甚至名為V. Stiviano,傳聞中在錄音帶中的女子聲音
,其(Stiviano)描述Sterling為一個揮舞其性別英勇在狗仔面前,不在乎其他人的想法,
包括他的老婆。
Stiviano is being sued by Rochelle Sterling, who is seeking to reclaim at
least $1.8 million in cash and gifts that her husband allegedly provided the
woman.
Stiviano正被Rochelle Sterling控告,Rochelle試圖收回至少180萬美元,由Donald給予
的現金及禮物。
