Ewen Murray reflects on the success of Skys innovative coverage of the British Masters at Woburn, and has no doubts that the tournament will once again become the pride of the European Tour. What a week it was at glorious Woburn, and the overwhelmingly positive reaction to our coverage of the British Masters supported by Sky Sports was a revelation.The viewers were treated to Nick Dougherty wearing a microphone and talking to us live in the commentary box, a world first in television coverage of a mainstream event, we had the superb live Masterclasses at the close of play, and all the new technical innovations were tremendous. Speaking to Nick Dougherty during his round was a world first in TV golf coverage I was a little uneasy about speaking to Nick live at first. Its never been done before in tournament play and you have to consider Nick was trying to concentrate out there.But he was fine with it. Even when he was struggling on the second day, he was happy to speak to us in the commentary box and he said he had a case of the rights and the lefts. You can deal with one, but its tough when youve got both! Nick was happy to give us his thoughts as he strolled to the green He was describing how he was trying to deal with it and I really liked that, and Im not surprised this innovation was so popular with the viewers. It gave them a great insight into what a player is thinking while walking to the green, rather than us saying what theyre probably thinking. Great insightAnother hugely popular introduction was the live Masterclasses. When you have players of the quality of Westwood, Howell, Donald and Poulter, Harrington and Sullivan, you cant go wrong. Luke Donald gave us great insight into what it takes to be a world-class putter It was a nice mixture of players talking about different aspects of the game. Lee was great talking about driving, something thats always been a strength of his game. Luke has always been an excellent putter, and his insight on that would have interested a lot of people. If you can take two less putts per round, it doesnt take long to get your handicap down.It was also nice to see these players having the chance to show they have character and personality, and I thought they all came across really well. They need to be applauded for giving their time to the masterclasses. It was also interesting to hear them speak about trying to keep it as simple as possible, and I think that will be a big help to any club golfer.The British Masters used to be one of the most prestigious events on the European Tour schedule, and there is no doubt in my mind that the tournament will regain that status. Last year proved that without question.A viewing experience We also showed that week what Sky can do with golf coverage, and we were exemplary in terms of production values. What we achieved was talked about far and wide - in particular the implementation of so much new technology.One of my favourites was the robot camera on wheels on the fairways, although this was not given a name. I dont think Andrew Coltarts suggestion of the toy thingy will catch on! It was fantastic to get the viewers closer to the action and make them feel part of the coverage. We showed what Sky can do for entertaining golf coverage We also introduced the fairway tracer and thats been one of the best of our new innovations. We know how popular the Pro Tracer has been off the tee, and we put it in play for the second shot.Its only a matter of time before we introduce it for pitching around the greens, and you can see all the variations in trajectory and spin. This new technology makes it so much easier to educate the viewers in terms of what the players are trying to achieve with each shot.Watch the 2016 British Masters throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

Stiviano. The Comments He are some of the comments attributed to Sterling on the recording: - "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that youre associating with black people. Do you have to?" - "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." - "Im just saying, in your lousy (expletive) Instagram, you dont have to have yourself with, walking with black people." - "...Dont put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And dont bring him to my games." League Responds NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has expressed profound disappointment over the comments and has urged the public to allow for due process to run its course before any action is taken. "All members of the NBA family should be afforded due process and a fair opportunity to present their side of any controversy," Mr. Silver said, "which is why Im not yet prepared to discuss any potential sanctions against Donald Sterling. We will, however, move extraordinarily quickly in our investigation." The Clippers have declared that these comments do not reflect the views of Sterling and that they are looking into the issue. The public was also reminded that the source of the recording, Stiviano, is being sued by Sterlings wife for embezzling $1.8 million in the form of cash, cars and other items from the Clippers owner, thereby suggesting that the veracity of the recording should be questioned. Investigation The first step for the NBA is authenticating the recording. That means confirming that the voice on the recording is that of Sterling and that the recording was not doctored. Sterling may admit that the voice is his, but allege that his ex-girlfriend doctored the tape as payback for being sued by the Clippers owner. Authenticating the recording may not be an easy process. The NBA will need to get Stiviano to agree to be interviewed (likely under oath), which she may decline. If she refuses to talk to the league, there is little it can do to force her since the NBA does not have subpoena power (or an ability to force Stiviano to submit to an interview). The NBA could also hire an expert to review the recording to assess the likelihood that it has been tampered with and whether the voice is that off Sterling.dddddddddddd. The NBA is being criticized for not suspending Sterling pending the outcome of the investigation. While the sentiment is understandable, the NBA is bang on here. It is important to observe the principles of fundamental justice, which include that justice be administered fairly. A person is entitled to a fair shake even in the face of despicable comments. The NBA is proceeding with its investigation expeditiously and is aiming to have it done in a "few days". Until then, it is important, if not critical, that the process be respected. Fines, Suspensions and Sale of Team Some people around the league want Sterling gone permanently given his a history of being racially insensitive. In 2009, Sterling was sued for discriminatory housing practices after being accused of seeking to drive African-Americans and Latinos from his apartment buildings. The billionaire settled the lawsuit by paying $2.725 million. He was also sued by his former GM Elgin Baylor, who filed a wrongful termination lawsuit that included allegations of racism. In part, Baylor alleged that Sterling rejected a coach because he was African-American. While some want Sterling gone, the NBA is unlikely to force Sterling to sell the team. If the league tried, they would likely be sued by Sterling, who in part, would allege that the league is violating antitrust laws. If successful, such a lawsuit could get Sterling a massive payout. A more likely scenario is a long suspension. And there is a precedent for that: former Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott. In December 1992, Schott was quoted in the New York Times as saying that her use of the N-word was a joke after referring to Eric Davis and Dave Parker as her "million-dollar n------". In that same interview, she made favourable comments about Adolf Hitler. As a result, MLB suspended Schott for one year. In 1996, she was suspended for another two years after more racially insensitive comments. In 1998, with her health failing, she agreed to sell the team. Apart from a suspension, we could also see a substantial fine. Ultimately, a fine of $1 million to $5 million would not be surprise. If authenticated, the comments are of course completely unacceptable, highly offensive and frankly disturbing. As well, according to a recent report, African-Americans comprise 76 per cent of all NBA players, while 81 per cent of players are of colour. So the NBA knows one thing: it has to get this right. And that may mean a long suspension and hefty fine. Expulsion, however, doesnt seem likely given the legal challenges. ' ' '
