I hear what you're saying and am also bothered by the fact that his comments were intended to be private. However there is precedent. When politicians send photos of their penis on the internet for example. The fall out is tremendous even though it may not be intended for public consumption.
I think this has to be understood as financially motivated. Basketball is entertainment and everyone associated with it is subject to good or bad press. Everyone loses if one person associated with the group becomes a public pariah. Of course they'll make statements which express how awful are Sterling's remarks and views. But that is more about polishing the public image of the product than it is about morals.
