Should people be held accountable for comments made in private?
and
To what extent does it matter if those comments are recorded and made public?
We discussed these questions in relation to the allegations made regarding L.A. Clippers majority owner, Donald Sterling, and a record purportedly made of him making racist comments.
Later in the evening, the NBA issued its fine and a lifetime ban on Sterling's participation in the NBA.
