Magic Johnson reportedly interested in buying the Los Angeles Clippers

I remember watching that game. It was the closest the NFL has ever come to committing a war crime.

That... seems like an odd statement. It's the closest you have ever come to covering your car in turkey gizzards and driving naked.
 
Dog crap on a cracker. Who the hell is defending the guy?

if people aren't calling for this guy to get drawn and quartered the left, with all their feigned indignation, assume people are defending this clown. In the great scheme of life, Sterling is a pimple on the ass of humanity but hardly a cancer or some other disease that requires a radical mastectomy

I see lots of people who are trying to prove to each other that they are holier than thou with their faux screams for this man's head

I covered myself in turkey gizzards and drove naked once. Does that count?

An 81-year-old billionaire racist who's made multi-millionaires out of black players.

That's what has this country all in a tizzy right now.

Think about that.

Well some on the left here at DP and elsewhere are doing that. But then these types are the usual suspects claiming that the usual suspects on the right are defending Sterling's racism. Pots screaming at the kettles! I'm still waiting for the list of "cons" that refuse to acknowledge or admit the man is a racist that was alluded to before by notquiteright. I think the answer is that these "cons" are a lot like unicorns, glimpsed only in fantasy and dreams.

The race to righteous indignation to prove their tolerance is amazing to me.
 
If that game took place today in the SEC (college football) between Alabama and LSU, it'd be hyped as the greatest defensive display in the history of mankind.

That took place in NJ on 2/2/2014.
 
Filthy McNasty; Can you tell us who these many cons you see that are not quite willing to say Sterling was a well known racist bigot? From what I can see all the well known ones said:
I said the CONs in here who lined up to dismiss this as nothing new, a long known fact, and complain no one ever was upset until now. I want to say any thread about this has the CON deflection in the first two or three pages.

I asked one CON about the statement he made about 30 some years of racist and sexual harassment claims against Sterling... but it appears the most anyone can find is a tenant dispute and a former Clipper Exec who lost his lawsuit before a jury. I found a man who claims that during a coaching position interview Sterling used the N-word but of course no witness and the man wasn't hired for the job so...

I'd say there is a MUCH better argument that Sterling is a whore chaser, he has even sued a whore he kept to get the house he gave her back! :shock:

Until the taped rant, there was only the word of someone vs a very rich man with a good legal team.

Guess it goes to show, no amount of money can stop an arrogant putz from being an ass. I reckon if you are an SOB to everyone on the way up, they are going to return the favor to the schmuck on the way down...

Those rungs hurt when your falling down the ladder head first.
 
I'd like to see Seattle get the Clippers.

As badly as Stern butt ****ed Seattle, that ain't gonna happen.

Now Oprah has thrown her sizable portfolio into the ring, along with Geffen and Ellison as suitors for the Clippers. They will stay in LA..

So you can't name even one "con" who was doing as you said. Not even one. Which is what I thought, you can't name any "cons" that are not willing to say Sterling is not a well known racist and bigot. Your claim was, "many CONs are trying to dismiss the rant as 'old news' because they now are quite willing to say Sterling was a well known racist and bigot." Not that some "CONs in here who lined up to dismiss this as nothing new, a long known fact, and complain no one ever was upset until now."

WHO in here? And how did you arrive at there are MANY when you can't name one? One obvious answer is hyperbole.:shock:
 
Magic Johnson reportedly interested in buying the Los Angeles*Clippers | The Point Forward - SI.com


With Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s racist remarks coming to light over the weekend, the emphasis has now shifted to “what’s next” for the controversial owner and his distracted franchise.

One of the biggest discussions has centered around the future of the Clippers and whether the NBA and commissioner Adam Silver will force Sterling to sell that franchise. In that vein, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports is reporting Lakers legend Magic Johnson and his ownership group are interested in buying the team if Sterling is forced (or chooses) to sell:

Magic Johnson and his billionaire backers, the Guggenheim Partners, want a chance to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers, league sources told Yahoo Sports. “Magic’s absolutely interested,” one source closely connected to Johnson’s business interests told Yahoo Sports on Sunday night


Hmmm, GF last seen taking pictures with Magic Johnson...
.

Can you say conflict of interest?
 
What "constitutional right" is being violated here? The government is not sanctioning Sterling, the NBA is. How the NBA conducts internal business does not fall under the constitution's jurisdiction regarding the "rights" of the parties involved.

An illegal contract cannot be enforced.
