Mr. Donald Sterling

[Scoot Magee]

So something like a protest or a embrago?

Pretty much. People won't support somebody like that and there will be protest. He's got deep pockets and doesn't seem to care what people think of him though so we'll see what happens.

Great points all around....really.

I just wanna say again that what Sterling said was fucked up.....all of it and the penalty for the racist comments was appropriate.

Now with that being said if it was in public and in front of Magic or his player,he would get hate all around...no question ask,but this was done in privacy not in public and not only that,but she record it what out his consent(Rumor has it that she is getting sue by the Sterling family for those unapporved recordings).

Lets not kid are self...she did it for the MONEY and nothing else.A women looking like that and she's with him for love.....bullshit and you know it.This man has his hands deep in that Old Money(If you don't know what that is google it).She thought "Oh I can blackmail him for that cold hard cash" and he was like "Nah" hence forth the recording coming out.

Oh and congratulatons on finding another old rich racist guy......there's about a million more to find in the United States alone.......so good luck.


P.S. Sorry it took me so long to answer back really wanted to get my thoughts together on this one....waiting on a rebuttal

Sue the girl, who cares about her. Although I must say it is kind of karma since he is cheating on his wife with a young 20 something. He probably should have seen this coming lol.

The point is he got caught saying racist remarks, and is now paying the price. End of.

Damn shameful how I see people being like "Yeah they got the racist, WHOO!" then they go around making hella transphobic comments about his girlfriend

The whole thing was shady. He shady and racist, his side chick shady and money hungry, and the rest of white America shady for acting like this shit ain't a norm.

In no way am I saying the NBA should let it slide,but we need to take in account that this happened in the privacy of his own home and she basically baited the fuck out of him and his dementia just kick in.

Do the NBA understand how much money LA will lose out on if the board decide to sell and move this team? They're doing big things right and would just be plain wrong to do so.

Yes it did happen in the privacy of the home, but it became public resulting in damaging the image of the Clippers and the league. Doubt the side chick did this out of being offended by his comments and she will most likely pay if Sterling decides to sue her which he can if that was recorded without his consent.
As Scoot said they can't force him to sell the team, only push him to sell. Even if the team is sold there is no way the team is leaving LA its too big of a market(Sorry Seattle have to keep waiting).

He's an old racist fool and Mr. Silver was right in ridding the league of that bigot. There's no place for ignorant morons like that anywhere in our society, especially in my beloved NBA which is predominantly black.

The Clippers going to lose a lot of money now as it is, with so many sponsors pulling out. This is a predominantly black league. The NBA needed to take a stand and it was always going to be about pleasing and protecting the players, otherwise the uproar from within would have been huge. People need to understand that this is a complicated scenario, and i feel the NBA made the right call.
