Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Fined $2.5M and Banned for Life by NBA
Do you know why they were giving him that award? Right around the time when he settled a suit for discriminating against Hispanics in rental housing, he made a big donation, which judging from the timing was basically "Look, I'm not really racist" PR.
It's amazing that the right wants to defend this guy...seriously, it amazes the crap out of me. You're not racist, so you should be happy about him paying the price. I guess when trying to say "Look he's a Democrat" didn't work....
Yet no one wants to bring up that the NAACP was all ready to give this man the "man of the year" award all because he donated generously, and included Clippers tickets to the LA front office of the NAACP....What a crock....
The man is probably getting the short end of the stick here.
