Ben DiPietro, The Wall Street Journal, May 2, 2014
The speed and severity with which the National Basketball Association acted following the public release of racist remarks made by L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling should serve as a model for how other organizations respond to crises, experts in the field said.
