Clipper's owner Donald Sterling in deep trouble for racist remarks

[FinitoElDinamita]

Whatever it was, the timing couldn't be worse for the Clippers, currently locked in a tight playoff series. As a player, it's hard enough to concentrate on the game itself without having those needless distractions.

I dont see how this is a distraction for the players. They are getting paid to do what they love and if anything, they should be more determined to win and make their owner look dumb.

Well they got the shit beat out of them today. So if it's not a distraction, they just totally sucked.

I think it's the latter.. Clippers just suck..

That's a hard one to defend, man.

A lot of times people make an off-colour joke or are caught using the dreaded "N-word" and it's blown out of proportion by a bunch of guilty white people who just want to point fingers and see other people get in trouble.

But remarks like this where it's malicious, where you are actually advocating staying away from black people like they are an inferior people, that's messed up.

Especially when you are involved in a business that is made up of, lets face it, mostly black athletes and a huge chunk of black fans.

It is racist and he shouldn't have said it, but the media is clearly obsessed with race and thus I am angry as I want to concentrate on day 55 of the missing airplane.

That can not be defended and shows you that racism still exists in society today. Imagine how he actions his thoughts, beliefs and attitudes with the bigotry views he holds?

He's the longest tenured owner in the NBA (since the passing of Dr. Jerry Buss who owned the Lakers) and was (up until recently) up for an NAACP Lifetime achievement award (a SECOND one to add to his previous one) ....like nobody knew about him (the real guy) before these tapes came out


I am just astonished that a guy who has those feelings about different races willingly chose to own a team in the NBA where the majority of players are black. I mean it's mind boggling as to why he would choose to own an NBA team.


And again I will stress this, Donald Sterling is a liberal and there are PLENTY more like him in this world. Guys who want to help out the "underprivileged" because those people are naturally inferior and therefore NEED the help of big government or in this case a private civilian patron in order to live like humans rather than animals. They "help" in order to feel even more superior.


This entire incident is reminiscent of one Marge Schott....someone I'm certain Miles would adore
