CNN's Anderson Cooper asks Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling if he has apologized to Magic Johnson.

Video here

This guy needs to just stop talking. He's not doing himself any favors.
 
If Magic is sleeping with Sterling's girlfriend, and she tapes a conversation with Sterling when he's drunk in his own kitchen, and Magic admits he'd be willing to buy the Clippers.....

Does Sterling have a right to feel like this was a set-up to get those wheels in motion.......?
 
Is he on drugs... or is it old age? He's like a clearly speaking Ozzy Osborne, its really bizarre.
 
In fairness, Sterling is right about Magic Johnson. Magic really isn't the type of person to be passing judgment on morality.

Johnson is no saint. He has no room to talk.

Yes he does. I know I would.

All 3 parties are low class slugs - Sterling, his golddigging girlfriend, and Johnson.

That's not the point. Disparaging Magic won't help him appear contrite or sympathetic.

Especially that someone has now played the race-card on that comment. It was inevitable. 8)

Johnson cheated on his wife. That was a while ago. I might remind you that he has paid a dear price for his transgressions. Do you have evidence that he slept with Sterling's GF?

Do I really need a link talking about Magic Johnson cheating on the person he claimed to be committed to? It's fairly common knowledge.

No he didn't. He just got more famous, tons of sympathy from his circle, and got more endorsement deals at a time when his career (and his fame) was flagging.

I was referring to getting HIV.

He didn't cheat on his wife? I thought that was how he got HIV.
 
This game is long over....the man should accept his defeat, and take the money...as any good racist would.

You're suggesting I played the race card? Show me where that is? You are delusional.

Pardon me if I was mistaken but, otherwise why did you bother posting this thread?

When did I say Johnson slept with Sterling's chippy?

Johnson is a creep, IMO.

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.
