Nothing in this situation puts her in a good light, and she will probably escape having to answer a lot of very uncomfortable questions by the simple fact that her pimp daddy wound up taking all of the spotlight.
There may be issues of privacy to be hashed out here, but my point is that the NBA was put in a spot (by circumstances outside of its control) and it has bylaws written to help them deal with it. It's not the NBA's fault that Donald Sterling is a racist jerk, nor that his mistress may be a scheming whore. A shit storm was dropped into their lap, and they are dealing with it in a manner that one would expect of a company seeking to protect its brand when one of its executives shoves his whole leg into his mouth.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
