The NBAs life ban for Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling won swift support in Europe but also produced calls for soccer to show similar resolve against racism. FIFA president Sepp Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini, via his spokesman, both voiced approval on Wednesday. Blatter tweeted: "Sport says no to racism. I fully support (at)NBAs decision to ban (at)LAClippers owner for life after his racist words." Patrick Vieira, a 1998 World Cup winner with France, also tweeted: "Well done to (at)NBA, another organisation dealing with racism in exactly the right way. I say again - zero tolerance." NBA Commissioner Adam Silver wants Sterling to sell as part of a series of sanctions brought against the leagues longest-tenured owner in response to racist comments in a recorded conversation. Silver banned Sterling for life, fined him $2.5 million, and said he will press the other team owners to support his desire to make Sterling sell. For some in Europe, the NBAs resolve was in stark contrast to soccer leaders failure to eradicate racism that has dogged stadiums and marred matches for decades. Just last weekend, a Villarreal season-ticket holder racially taunted Barcelona defender Dani Alves by throwing a banana at him. Retired British NBA player John Amaechi noted that players, executives and owners in the American league appeared united in their rejection of Sterling. "If they can do that to respond to a hateful private utterance, why the hell cant football do that to respond to repeated instances of hate-mongering?" Amaechi said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "Its time that we started looking at some of the owners within other parts of sport," outside the NBA, he said. "Theyre exactly the type of plantation mentality people who dont mind having black people working for them ... But God forbid that they want to come up to the big house." Amaechi said he doesnt expect the NBAs exemplary punishment of Sterling will jolt soccer into meaningful change. And Blatters tweet of support for the NBA was "not enough," he added. "If there was a poster-person for the words impotence and apathy, it would have his face on it," Amaechi said. "You know what theyre going to do? Theyre going to produce another pretty poster with platitudes plastered all over it. Theyre going to produce another campaign that has a black player stood next to a white player," he said. "Nothing substantive." FIFA and UEFA, the European authority, have toughened their sanctions for discrimination in the past year and prosecuted cases more quickly. A turning point in awareness of widespread problems with offensive abuse at matches came in January 2013 when Kevin-Prince Boateng, then playing for AC Milan, led teammates walking off the field to protest racist insults during an exhibition against a fourth-tier Italian side. FIFA and UEFA have ordered national and club teams to play matches in empty or partly closed stadiums as punishment for racial abuse incidents, but no World Cup or Champions League team has yet had points deducted or forfeited a match. Among the most severe judgments, FIFA has banned Croatia defender Josip Simunic for 10 matches -- including the 2014 World Cup -- for leading fans in chanting a Nazi-era nationalist slogan after a playoff victory against Iceland last November. Simunic has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

DaRon Payne Jersey . LUCIE, Fla. DaRon Payne Redskins Jersey .Y. - For once, Clayton Kershaw was glad to see a long shutout streak end.Ryan Getzlaf - Baseball PlayerCanadian centre Ryan Getzlaf comes from a family where he was encouraged to play many sports. The Anaheim Ducks star played tailback in football with his brother Chris, who now plays for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but Ryan was more drawn to hockey and baseball. Getzlaf clearly ended up focusing on hockey, but represented Saskatchewan as a catcher in a national youth baseball tournament. When asked what he would be if he wasnt a hockey player, Getzlaf says he would attempt to revive his abilities in baseball.Steve Ott - Top Gun (Canadian Air Force)St. Louis Blues Steve Ott comes from a military family where both his parents are veterans in the Canadian Air Force, so his answer came easy... he would want to be a Top Gun if he werent playing hockey.To get the full experience of the above photo, please press play on the song featured below...Tuukka Rask - Rock StarTuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins once said if he werent playing professional hockey, he would likely be a rock star, and we completely believe it. The goaltender is already a rock star in the crease, so why couldnt he be a rock star on the stage too?The Vezina Trophy winner has even been spotted on the drums alongside Buffalo band the Mustnts. And theres video evidence!David Clarkson - Rock StarToronto Maple Leafs David Clarkson would also want to be a rock star... because lets be honest, it seems like a pretty cool gig. The Etobicoke, Ontario native says he wouuld love to play the guitar, sing and be a musician for the simple fact he loves music.ddddddddddddWe can see Clarkson getting pretty intense while shredding his guitar up on stage.Patrice Bergeron - BusinessmanWeve all seen the commercial where Patrice Bergeron recites poetry for the NHL 15 game, but the Bruins centre says he would be in business if he werent a hockey player. We were really thinking Bergeron had a career as a romantic beat poet after hearing him perform a poem on feelings, but he could probably pull off being a businessman.Hmm... we still rather a beat poet, Patrice. At least consider it.Logan Couture - TeacherLogan Couture of the San Jose Sharks would want to follow in the footsteps of his mother if he werent a hockey player, who is a physical education teacher. And were genuinely surprised more hockey players didnt answer with "gym teacher" right off that bat.Brendan Gallagher - Golfer Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher would continue to use his athletic ability in a professional career if werent playing hockey, trying a career in professional golf, a sport many NHL players play in the offseason.Its pretty cool to learn what NHL players would want to be if they werent playing hockey, and funny to see what they would look like in those jobs. An alternate universe where Matt Duchene is a country music star and Sidney Crosby is saving people from burning buildings... what a world it would be.
