I've thought long and hard about this.
I ended up voting "no," and here's why. First of all, what he said, in my opinion, was just awful. It was a terrible thing to say, and just proves that racism is alive and well. That being said, he said it in the privacy of his home, and was illegally taped doing so. You shouldn't be forcibly punished for something you say. That being said, I don't think he deserves to own the team. He should lose the team, but he should lose it the hard way - by losing sponsers, by losing players, etc. There are worse ways to hurt somebody than to force them to sell their team for hundreds of millions of dollars. That's not going to hurt him at all. He still has his money.
Hit him where it hurts - in the wallet - and that will be the best punishment.
