How so, Maggot? His freedom of speech wasn't denied.
He violated a conduct clause to which he agreed contractually. It sucks that Donald Sterling trusted someone who betrayed him and made that private conduct public (still haven't seen him deny having told people to record their conversations with him). But, The Clippers are an NBA team, made up of NBA players, and there are NBA fans to consider. They wanted him essentially fired and not getting rid of him could have really hurt the team and the franchise league (image-wise and financially).
You support businesses' rights to refuse service to people who they believe to be gay. How's that fundamentally different from an organization refusing to license its business to someone because they believe he's a bigot?
