Economic sanctions are the flavor du jour. America imposed more sanctions on Russia: seven additional individuals were targeted (asset freezes, visa bans) including two from Putin's "inner circle" and seventeen Russian companies will have their assets frozen.
Companies are imposing their own sanctions in Los Angeles. Carmax, State Farm, Kia, and Red Bull all are pulling sponsorship agreements with Donald Sterling ne Tokowitz' "Clippers" basketball team. They don't want to be associated with the man. Such cannot be said, as yet anyway, for the National Basketball Association. Everybody from the President of the United States to corporate sponsors to bloggers has concluded Sterling ne Tokowitz spoke the words on the tapes released by TMZ and Deadspin. Not the NBA. Adam Silver, you were on the clock, now your time is up. You and your league are a disgrace. Why don't the television networks cancel their sponsorship, why don't they refuse to broadcast any more NBA games until Quick Silver and the other team owners rid themselves of Sterling?
