    This is how bad our society has become. True story...

    I made a comment about kids sitting "Indian style" and was corrected. It's now called sitting "criss cross applesauce".

    I heard Donald Sterling was recorded with his consent. They brought that topic up on WFAN sports radio talk and Mike Francessa said that he consented to the recording by that crazy Asian-Afro GF of his.

    If he did not consent....then yes this is a bit unsettling as far as privacy issues go.

    Surprised this Jew came down this hard on a fellow Jew...Usually they have eachothers backs

    Really no choice I guess....Would be a complete mess if he continued running the team that no one would want to play for, no sponsors would want to be associated with, etc

    why is no one talking about Stern's hand in all this? And how the two jewish families, the Sterns and Sterlings were buddy buddy. Stern knew about the lawsuits and history of racism with Sterling. Yet he still handed him CP3 on a silver platter.

    cause it's a non issue that coloreds are blowing out of proportion for their own gain.

    And, what the guy above me said also when it comes to everybody else.

    Meanwhile poor Thunderhorse and Chief Jay Strongbow continue to protest outside Fed-Ex Stadium and get the middle finger from the NFL.

    Make a comment about a black person or a gay and you're fined millions of dollars and ostracized by the media

    basically get any owner saying something derogatory and they are going to be kicked out of the league.

    how bout giving sterling credit for buying a team when the league was dead in 1981? that counts for nothing now?

    It's going to count for a 500+ million profit for him....unless he's now completely insane.

    It's not like he's going to jail. He can sell the team, walk away and, I guess, live happily ever after. Case closed.

    If a black owner said racist things would everyone blow it up like they're doing now? Doubt it.

    if he is forced to sell, which i still dont see happening, itll be at a massive discount.

    anyways this could put him to an early grave, seems like this team kept him going.

    "all of us on a daily basis" aren't owners of a fukkn NBA Team... that has a black coach, black players, etc etc etc

    when you are in that spotlight, you have to be that much more careful

    he is subject to the ByLaws and whatnot of the NBA by being an owner and I'm sure that means not doing things that hurt the team, hurt the league, etc etc etc

    the Clippers have no sponsors now... all because of his stupid fukkn mouth

    I would just love for one reporter to ask this man why it is ok for his black girlfriend to have sexual relations with black men, but not be seen with them in public.

    I really want to hear his "81 year old man" explanation for this.

    It would have been much better for Sterling if he used the N word like Riley Cooper...His thought process and overall racist views are the problem....Not sure how people don't understand

    Like I said before, being a dirtbag finally caught up to him...even if the punishment seems a little harsh, don't care
