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. 洛杉矶快艇队老板Donald Sterling被NBA终生停权，以回应种族主义者的言论在一个录 音的对话中。 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说他将会尝试强迫Sterling卖快艇队。Sterling也被罚款250万美元，Silver并没 有在声明中隐藏他的愤怒。 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说假日中释出的录音带中讲话的人正是Sterling。"我们站在一起谴责Sterling的 观点"Silver说，"他们(这些观点)在NBA没有容身之地。" Sterling acknowledged he was the man on the tape, Silver said. Sterling承认他自己就是录音带中的男子，Silver说。 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的赛事或者练习、出席在任何快艇的办公室或设施、 或参加任何和球队有关的商务以及球员人事决定。 He also cannot participate in any league business going forward. 他也不能加入之後任何联盟的生意。 "This league is far bigger than any one owner, any one coach and any one player," Silver said. "这个联盟远大於任何一个拥有者、任何一个教练或任何一个球员"，Silver说。 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. 这笔罚款将会捐赠到由NBA、NBPA选出的反歧视及相关贡献的组织。 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，许多NBA老板和球员谴责。甚至总统Obama称其为这是Silver 当总裁的的第一项危机。 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声明前，小牛队老板Mark Cuban推了一张NBA章程的照片，说"它为了一个理由 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. 这项声明在快艇与勇士的第五战前几小时宣布。 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. 许多赞助厂商在礼拜一终止或暂停与快艇的合作，虽然和个别球员合约如Chris Paul及 Blake Griffin将会持续不会受影响。并且有公司愤怒明确声明。 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. 这只是Sterling长期的争议另外一章。 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. 过去他已经受到广泛的联邦指控，对於公民权的破坏、商业中的种族歧视，和一些种族 相关的的言论。 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." 他也被之前的员工控告性骚扰以及甚至名为V. Stiviano，传闻中在录音带中的女子声音 ，其(Stiviano)描述Sterling为一个挥舞其性别英勇在狗仔面前，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试图收回至少180万美元，由Donald给予 的现金及礼物。 连结:http://tinyurl.com/lbmxdvw --- 注:我有点想睡了，就快点翻翻。希望快艇能够藉此重整旗鼓，取下对勇士的第五战。 --
