He didn't "show himself". He was recorded illegally from the privacy of his house, where he should be able to say what he wants and think what he wants as long as he is not causing considerable harm to anyone else.
It doesn't matter how he was recorded. It doesn't matter who he intended to hear them. The cat's out of the bag now. You can't go back in time and pretend that you didn't hear him say those words. Once trust is lost, there's nothing that can be done except remove that person.
And these words absolutely did cause harm. They caused harm to the players and caused harm to the fans and caused harm to the NBA.
I know we cannot go back into the past, but we can learn from this for the future. If he were not recorded, then the fans, the players, and the NBA would never have known and never have been hurt. He would be able to keep his job for the last years of his life and there would never be a scandal in the first place. His racism is something he and his girlfriend need to work on, he doesn't need the rest of the world hating him.
I think that nba owner Donald sterlings lifetime ban was excessive
