I would suspect something like 80% of the income of the Clippers goes to labor, so all that money is being put into the economy. Additionally Sterling will not live forever and that money will go to his heirs and to the treasury to spend.

But you don't. You just whine. Seriously, you just don't get how jobs are created, do you? Money invested in the Clippers does put thousands to work: = Ticket sellers, ushers, vendors, etc. in the arena. = Us IT folks & web designers, = TV people of all sorts, such as producers, camera operators, announcers, ad salespeople, 100s more = advertising agencies = all of the administrative people for the Clippers company, = Retailers selling Clippers merchandise, plus all of their support people and distributors = Not to mention the athletes themselves, plus each of the wealthier ones are probably corporations with their own support staff. All of the sycophants; what else would they do? (Hookers and drugs cost money, you know.) Also, some of the better ones set up foundations (and all of the support staff) = Plus 100s of jobs overseas making and shipping merchandise. Each gainfully employed person is one less terrorist prospect. Gee, maybe even some in the USA. What would you do? Give the money to some hapless politician who awards $$$ to cronies for projects nobody wants. Or bureaucrats, who spend $100,000 to "create" each fleeting minimum-wage job? Yes, you are smarter than Balmer (even in his present mindless state).
