In this May 12, 2014 photo, the interior of the Pontiac Silverdome is seen in Pontiac, Mich. The 80,000-seat indoor stadium hosted the Super Bowl, the NBA finals, the World Cup, Wrestlemania, a papal visit and concerts by Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. Nowadays, the venue is a shell of its former self with its roof in tatters and a lack of electrical power that has left the stadium’s innards dark and mold-covered. The Silverdome’s current owner is determined to cash in before it’s too late, putting everything inside up for auction starting on Wednesday, May 21. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)

NBA’s charges against LA Clippers owner Sterling

By JIMMY GOLEN - Associated Press

FILE - In this Feb. 25, 2011, file photo, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling looks on during the first half of their NBA basketball game against the Los Angeles Lakers in Los Angeles. Sterling could use lawyers and lawsuits to challenge the NBA&#8217;s plan to force him out over recent racist comments, but legal experts say the league would likely prevail in the end. Sports law experts say the NBA&#8217;s constitution gives its Board of Governors broad latitude in league decisions including who owns the teams. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver wants a swift vote against Sterling, which requires a minimum of three-fourths of the other 29 controlling owners to agree. (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill, File)
