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

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

The entire republican part is not racist.

Not only that, but the idea that Bundy's comments were "used to paint the entire Republican party as racist" is nonsense.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

The old coot didn't even say the N word in his private conversation with a bimbo. I thought this country valued privacy?

Who knows why he dislikes some blacks. Maybe black heroes like Jesse Jackson & Malcolm X displaying their anti-Semitism and getting away with it still annoys him.

This just doesn't seem like much of a story given that he's been very philanthropic with blacks, he employs lots of blacks (and pays them well), he didn't say the N word, and this was a private conversation between him & his gold digger. But it makes for good theater, I suppose.

...

Malcolm X has been dead for almost fifty ****ing years, for crying out loud.

Is Bundy a Reublican?
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

But they really didn't speak out. Why are they still working for this terrible racist? It would have been more honorable to refuse to play at all. The symbolism of inside out shirts makes for great theater, but that's about it.

If he's a horrible man, then they should all pack up and go elsewhere.

You do understand that they're under contract, right?

I really can't stand it when people who don't know sports try to talk about sports.

So? Are you saying that all Jewish people have forgotten what he said about them?

White slave owners have been dead for over 100 ****ing years, for crying out loud. But I don't recall them not being brought up because they're dead.

I know all about sports. Yes they are under contract. And guess what? They can boycott a game if they're ashamed to be associated with him. You know that too.

They won't though, because making a theater with inside out shirts is a "feel good" concept.

Yeah, they should chuck out the entire season and deny themselves the opportunity to get to the Finals. :roll:

Yes, because working for a racist will be so much better when they're in the finals.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

All I know is that people's privacy is non-existent in this country anymore. Now you can't even have a private conversation with your gold digger of the week without it becoming a national story. Too bad.

Yeah, and if they boycotted the game, Sterling supporters would grill them for that too. To those who find nothing wrong with Sterling's comments, it's a lose-lose situation for how the players react, because whichever way they react, they're going to be criticized.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G


Yes, and I read that article already. It's the only time I saw him labeled as a registered Republican. Did Bundy say that he was? And for a guy who doesn't even recognize the government (his words), it surprises me to think that he would even vote. He clearly detests politicians.

I'll believe it when Bundy articulates it. Not that it matters anyway. Even a lot of Democrats detest the government. That isn't a Republican thing.

What people say to their girlfriends in private settings isn't my business.

Who are his "supporters"?

Ya know? Take it up with the author.

I don't need to get in a passive aggressive time wasting comment war over minutiae.

So you're essentially claiming the players are hypocrites because they won't forfeit a playoff game because their owner is an asshole. No, you apparently don't know "all about sports."

Name the last time a team boycotted a game.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

"Probably".

Interesting.

Uh, let's see, he lives in a very red part of Nevada. So yes, he's "probably" a Republican. I don't see why that's interesting.

I hope you enjoy making excuses for Donald Sterling's abject racism and trying to make the thread all about his players instead of him.

I changed the word "supporters" to "those who see nothing wrong with his comments" in the middle of my thought - pretty much anyone who doesn't think what he said is wrong or excuses his comments. I don't really care if it was in privacy, closet racists are still racists. He knew that his racism couldn't be made public because it would hurt his business, so he kept it private, and he got caught.

I don't feel sorry for the man. Everyone has a right to say what they may, but that does not free them of the consequences.

I know all about sports. This is a message board, Kobie, or didn't you know that? I'm voicing my opinion. Or is that against the rules?

I never used the word hypocrite. You did.

But at least they felt good about their message. And they will feel better when they deposit the big paychecks that mean old man gives them.

Party registration is public record.
