Donald Sterling made his fortunes as a slum lord and was LITERALLY sued twice, once for $2.75 million, for ethnic injustice. If I remember correctly back in 2006 this dude was caught trying to buy all minorities out of his overly priced Beverly Hills apartments and made statements like "They're dirty and they make the place smell bad".
Before I make a decision I like to have as much information as time allows me, and i'll try to be as couth as possible in my assessment. Keeping in mind that he's 81 years old billionaire and probably wasn't as exposed to minority assimilation as the rest of us, he's completely out of line. As an owner of an esteemed franchise in an international sport you know how to hold your tongue, you have a PR guy; which leads me to believe that whether or not he was exposed couldn't matter less to him.
Side note: LA Times columnist Sandy banks wrote:
"Let the real estate magnate and Clippers owner take his millions and buy a hockey team," she wrote. "Then he won't have to worry about black superstars showing up for games on his girlfriend's arm."
Wait, I forgot it was okay to be racist if you move to a predominately Caucasian sport...
I have 2000 things to say, but let me actually read some of your guys' input before anything else.
