Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My Games

If you have followed my posts you would see that is the case with my public conversations, so of course not. The racist things I say are in the form of ethnic jokes. My wife hates it when I reference "Chinese Fire Drills", etc The rest of my ethnic humor is almost all Irish Jokes. Since I am Irish I feel like entitled to pick on my brethren.

But so what. He put himself in this position by laying down with dogs. His was a call to act out racism. You won't live long enough to witness that from me.

His was a private conversation that revealed a struggle with racism. His comments about Magic Johnson are taken out of context if you do not include the fact that Johnson has been trying to buy the Clippers for some time. To have his girlfriend start posting pictures of her with Johnson is a threat to him.

So you don't have a real racism problem. Good for you. But there is an issue...a bias that you posess that could not pass the PC test if your private conversations were made public. Everyone has biases and anyone who doesn't admit it is a liar and a hypocrite. Maybe the problem that exasperates these situations is Polictical Correctness for no one can live up to it.

And you don't know what he meant by that. She asked him if it was OK to take pictures with white people and he didn't answer. None of us know their history or why he said that particular thing.

Your probably right and I'm wrong. but her function is little more than being a hooker, no way a young woman goes out with an 80 year old because of love.

Can't argue there, I doubt it has anything to do with love.

No. It however illustrates significant ignorance on your part. Jewish people can be different races. Although the vast majority are Caucasian. Sterling is.

Here is Mike Wallace interviewing Morgan Freeman on Black History Month. At one point Morgan Freeman asks Mike Wallace if he'd like a White History Month and Mike Wallace responds that the question basically doesn't apply because he isn't white, he is Jewish. So here we have another example of a jew that says he is not white.

Incidentally, I agree completely with what Morgan Freeman says in this interview. 100% agree.

I've heard some claim the league can force him to sell... Nope. I suspect a suspension will certainly occur and likely a fine... But his property is safe.

He can’t force Sterling to sell. Essentially the league constitution says the league can only sell a team out from under an owner if said owner is not meeting his financial obligations (not paying his bills) and that is not an issue. Blake Griffin’s checks are clearing. What’s more, Sterling’s style — with his real estate holdings, with everything — is to buy and keep, not sell.

Maybe the other owners could try to force the issue saying, “We no longer want Sterling as a business partner” legal argument, but the very litigious Sterling likely would fight that. And it would get ugly. Or, uglier. And it would drag the issue out for years.

I don't know...80 year old openly having a 20 year old mistress and a wife of 50 years? Him paying his mistress millions of dollars which is less a real relationship and closer high class prostitution/sugar daddy thing. It's pretty ****ing bizarre.

And the wife's reaction is to sue the mistress and not divorce her cheating husband

Sounds like she's as big a whore as the mistress

All I keep seeing is how "everyone" knew this guy was a racist. I wonder why Doc Rivers - a black man - intentionally decided to work for a racist.

Funny how they are all coming out now outraged at the same time they said they all knew.

Some racist keep their true feelings to themselves or only close personal friends.

But her taping the conversation suggest she had plans for that tape. She did make certain that her comments were polite and not offensive. But I think she knew he would bite the bait and let loose with his true feelings of blacks.

He did not say he wasn't white. He said he was Jewish in a reference to his culture. There's a big difference

I've listened to it several times. He didn't say he wasn't white. He was referring to his culture. But it really doesn't matter what he thinks...



Jewish people are a culture, not a race.

The NBA Constitution and Bylaws is not a public document. There is a 2009 version available online, but that is not necessarily the latest version. Hence, there is no assurance that the League does not have more latitude than what that older document suggests. Moreover, Congress could put the league in a position of forcing the issue by removing some of the broad protections the league enjoys e.g., anti-trust exemptions.

Given the risks of litigation, my guess is that a suspension and fine would be most likely. But to be meaningful, the suspension would have to accomplish de facto what his removal from the league would. That would mean a suspension at least on the order of 5-10 years, if not longer. MLB once imposed an indefinite suspension and it has imposed lifetime bans. If the NBA verifies the authenticity of the recording, it should act very forcefully given the enormous and long-term damage Mr. Sterling could impose on the NBA and its global brand (loss of talent, loss of revenue, etc.).

Separately, the hateful nature of his alleged remarks is not something the NBA or any credible business entity should tolerate.

Not only that he misses Freeman's point on the NEED for a Black History Month.
