An Open Letter to ALL Regarding Donald Sterling by Bryant T Jordan

Bryant T. Jordan, the renowned author of both Saving the Lakers: A Be the General Manager Book and Saving the Celtics: A Be the General Manager Book, two ingenious titles that mix the fascinating and fun Choose Your Own Adventure Style of writing with an amazing attention to details such as NBA financials, and the Collective Bargaining Agreement, sprinkle in a large dose of humor and deliver two of the most unique sports-centric titles of the past 20 years, makes his initial foray into the moral side of sports with An Open Letter to ALL Regarding Donald Sterling. Simply put, An Open Letter to ALL Regarding Donald Sterling is a 112 page MUST-READ, thought-provoking book, and one that should inspire a great deal of debate
Author Bryant T. Jordan examines and breaks down, not only the exact words of Donald Sterling as recorded by V. Stiviano in the infamous TMZ and Deadspin recordings, but those of NBA celebrities such as Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson and Isaih Thomas. Jordan also examines the mass public's reaction to such thought-to-be-private words and even explores NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's public condemnation of Mr. Sterling's words and the subsequent punishment handed down to Sterling, and whether or not such a punishment truly fit the crime.
From quoting Martin Luther King to Tupac Shakur (aka PAC) to Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Bryant T. Jordan raises important questions such as:
Did the TMZ and Deadspin recordings really prove Sterling was a Hitler-esque racist or merely that he was an upset Sugar-Daddy?
Did the media leave out important information that would have painted Sterling in a different light, in favor or creating ratings nirvana?
Did Sterling deserve a lifetime ban for uttering private words?
Are politically incorrect words worthy of a far worse punishment than actual criminal actions like assault, rape and even murder?
Are Donald Sterling's private words unforgiveable? If so, what does that say about the mass public?
Author Bryant T. Jordan's An Open Letter to ALL Regarding Donald Sterling neither justifies racism or racist speech, nor ignorantly condemns a single individual without first actually examining what that individual said. Simply put, this book is an eye-opening, thought-provoking breath of fresh air that is indeed a true MUST-READ for all sports junkies, fans of freedom of speech and just plain free-thinking people everywhere
