Could the answer in getting rid of Sterling lay in The Nation?


I don't know if my frustration is blinding me from reality, but I feel strongly that we can make history by getting rid of our owner. How do we do this? Boycott. I heard people suggest this before, but this really needs to be taking seriously. I won't waste everyone's time in explaining why it needs to happen (google Donald Sterling if your really that uninformed), but this is a perfect time to do it. Just imagine the hit if at least 60 to 70% of Clipper fans refuse to buy tickets, refuse to renew season tickets, refuse to buy jerseys and other memorabilia. Now imagine it catching on and eventually becoming 90 to 100% of Clipper fans. The players will be fine. Actually they would love it. They would not only continue to get paid, but also be delighted at any possibility of Sterling stepping down. The media would jump all over it, digging up all of Sterling failures and dirt over the years, and doing it on a daily bases. We would not only have the attention of the whole sports world, but more importantly the support of the sports world, as they would realized the historic potential of our boycott. The financial hit and the constant public humiliation would force Sterling to sell while the team still has value. Imagine every Clipper game with a !0% attendance rate, at that point I feel that even Stern would be forced to step in. Lastly we could still be true fans by following the team on TV, as not watching would not hurt Sterling at all. Because he just recently made an agreement with Fox through 2016, he will get paid annually regardless if we watch or not. The key would be tickets and merchandise. What say you Nation? I'm I crazy or on to something?
