EDITORIAL: NBA banning Sterling harsh, but right call

In recent years, the penalty for unwise remarks and wisecracks has often been too harsh. People have been pilloried for off-the-cuff comments meant in jest. Theyve had their reputations ruined, sometimes for speaking what amounts to unflattering or politically incorrect truth.

That is not the case with Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees, among other things, that people in this country have freedom of speech. That means the U.S. government cannot prevent people from expressing opinions.

It does not, however, guarantee that there are never consequences for what people say.

People involved in private business also have rights. And, if they feel that associating with a person is damaging to their business, they are free, within the bounds of their contractual agreement, to end that relationship.

National Basketball Association Commissioner Adam Silver said that the NBA is ending its relationship with Sterling over racist remarks that Sterling made to his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, a woman who is not only 50 years his junior, but of black and Hispanic heritage.

The incident is rich with irony. Sterling owns a team whose success simply wouldnt be possible without black players. Eighty percent of the players who make up the NBA are black. The players talent is responsible for his teams lofty $575 million value.

The incident that set off Sterlings rant involves a former black player, Earvin Magic Johnson, whose on-court brilliance is among the reasons the NBA franchises are so valuable today. If Johnson isnt welcome in an owners box at an NBA game, who on earth should be?

Sterling doesnt want black people sitting in his owners box, or inside his basketball arena for that matter, but he wants to date a woman who is biracial? He doesnt want to associate with black people, but he doesnt mind if they win an NBA championship for his team?

Filmmaker protests Kickstarters censorship of abortion film

Posted: at 5:45 am

Filmmaker Phelim McAleer is sending a big message to Kickstarter.

In protest of the crowd-funding sites censorship of his TV movie project about convicted abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, McAleer commissioned a bold billboard near Kickstarters Brooklyn headquarters.

Kicked out by Kickstarter, reads the giant sign, which was put up on Tuesday afternoon. Gosnell movie raises $1 million and counting! To the public we say Thank you! To Kickstarter we say You Stink at Censorship!

McAleer raised funds for his last film, FrackNation, on Kickstarter, so the filmmaker didnt think twice about turning to the site again for his latest project. But soon after McAleer and his colleagues at Hat Tip Films submitted their posting in March, he said they received an email from Kickstarter ordering them to remove descriptions of thousands of babies murdered in order to adhere to the community guidelines.

Instead, he took the project to rival crowd-funding site Indiegogo.

CEO Yancey Strickler said recently that he banned us because the project description has to be PG-13, but thats not true. McAleer told the Post. Thats an actual lie. This is Kickstarter not wanting to do something because of their political beliefs.

The Gosnell film has been a smash hit on Indiegogo, raking in a whopping $1.5 million from more than 16,000 backers in little more than a month. Its the most successful film project on Indiegogo yet, McAleer said, and even overtook Spike Lees Kickstarter-funded film, which raised $1.4 million.

According to McAleer, Kickstarter eventually accepted the project after his colleagues pulled it from the site but gave the filmmakers a stern warning that it would be taken down if any updates were objectionable.

Strickler responded to the censorship charges in an interview with National Review online earlier this month.
