Sterling's startling talk on Magic Johnson

I posted this thread because I saw the interview. Sterling is not helping his cause to keep his team by taking interviews and saying things like this. I have no idea who his attorneys are, but they need to stick a sock in his mouth. It wasn't at all about race. You can put that card back in your pocket.

The whole thing is about race and illegal tapping of conversations.
 
You read that wrong, go back and look at the post I responded to. Hint: I quoted it.

Are you saying that he didn't pay a price for his transgressions? I'd argue that HIV is a pretty hefty one.

Oh so commenting on Sterling's comments is playing the race card? Now there's some serious pretzel logic.
 
Do you want to show us where the race card was played?

A little bird told me that since Sterling brought up Magic "not being a good example" it would only be a matter of time before it was played.

How else would one see this?
 
So you're playing the race card right now then?

In order for that to happen, I would have to insinuate that Sterling must be a racist because he said something negative about Johnson.

Never did.

So because it will only be a matter of time, we might as well say it's happened and get that out of the way?

Is it not possible for people of any race to be less than perfect? I don't see how judging Magic on the "content of his character" is playing the race card.

So you are suggesting that I insinuated that Sterling's comments in that video were racist?

Most times when someone posts a thread, they're insinuating something. You tell me.

I made my comment. You tried to twist my words into something that wasn't there. Essentially you made **** up. It's really that simple.

Furtherly insinuating Sterling is a racist because of his comment on Johnson would be. If that's not the case, so be it.

Sterling was made out to be a RACIST due to an illegal tapping of a conversation.

You said he need to quit talking because he's not doing himself any favors.

If you weren't discussing his *racist* views then what were you getting at?

Again if I'm off-base, pardon my question.

And that has what to do with my comments? Nothing.

You said he need to quit talking because he's not doing himself any favors.

He's trying to get his team back. In that way he is not helping his cause. I said nothing about race. That was you.



If you weren't discussing his *racist* views then what were you getting at?

See above.
