Donald Sterling is out. Floyd Mayweather wants in. Because, of course. New NBA commissioner Adam Silver dropped the hammers of all hammers on Tuesday afternoon when he banned the Los Angeles Clippers owner for life while laying out his intent to force Sterling into selling the team.

“Racism is a much more clandestine, much more hidden kind of phenomenon, but at the same time it’s perhaps far more terrible than it’s ever been,” Author and former Professor Angela Davis said during an interview in 1999.
