Surprised we don't have a thread about this yet.

 

In case you haven't been keeping up, this happened:

I won't link all the different articles to every perspective on this, but most recently the Clippers wore their warm-ups inside out so the team logo wouldn't show:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So. Discuss. How do you feel about it? What should be done about it? Just how bad is this sort of thing? Have at it.

Donald Sterling is a horrible human being.

Water is wet.

 

--sadly all of these statements are about as stupidly obvious.

I read CNN article on Sterling thing. He (Sterling) didn't even use the N word. What he said wasn't cool, but I don't think it was as bad as the media jokers makes it out to be. Plus it was a private conversation (Bo flashback).

 

Media clowns coming to town .......

He compared black people to dogs so no you are wrong.

Good lord.

 

I'll run the steps now.

 

Sterling is still a dick though.

 

Holy crap I hate myself.

Someone has to spell this one out for me. I read the deadspin article and watched the video. I read the transcript of the conversation after that. What was so wrong anout what he said? I didn't see anything about the dogs comparison.

 

The dude has an inflated ego of a wealthy man, but I didn't read nor understand what racist comments he made.

 

I am just trying to be informed here, because I don't understand something with this story or a cultural reference of sorts.

Thanks as always for the help Landlord.

So based on the link that Landlord provided, this idiot has a historic pattern of making douche comments and doing douche things when it comes to minorities.

 

TMZ releases an audio tape and all of a sudden it's a big deal?

 

His history wasn't a big secret. Why did ANY black player ever sign a contract with this guy?

[Excel]

He's a really weird racist. He's Jewish, and owns a professional basketball team and has a black/mexican girlfriend...and he's completely ok with her sleeping with black men but not taking pictures with them.

 

Really really weird. Still a racist but weird racist.

I fail to understand how in the year 2014 people are still racist. We are all people, and we're all the same on the inside. I'd like to know who his friends are that he hangs out with also, because if he's so worried about peoples' opinions of his girlfriend taking pictures with Magic Johnson, he must hang around some pretty ignorant racists as well.

[wiuhusker]

What makes this whole thing even more weird is that I believe he was set to get his 2nd achievement award from the NAACP sometime soon. Not sure what the hell is going on but if you somehow piss off Magic Johnson and Chris Paul the way he has managed to obviously its not good.

 

And Huskershark I couldn't agree more. The fact that racism still exists is beyond me. Just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah he is a weird one. At the end of the latest tape he actually asked her "you think I'm racist don't you?" Like he doesn't even see himself as one.
