you can say what you want about donald sterling, bottom line is guy paid 12 million dollars for the team in the 80's and now they are worth over 500 million, racist maybe but good businessman for sure

Johnson is a MUCH worse human than Sterling. Sterling hasn't given HIV to anyone.. If the truth were known Magic is a bigger racist also.

[itchypickle]

So Magic magically made those words come out of Sterling's mouth?

Amazing!!

Not what I'm saying. This was a private conversation in his house...have YOU never said something to family/friends you wouldn't want on national tv? Bet you have. I'm saying it's odd that this girl -dating an old $$ bags - ties to Magic and others in the industry who do this sort of thing alot meaning setups - randomly has perfect audi of a conversation and keeps directing the topic toward race herself like a tv interview....hard to get that quality audio from just laying your iphone on the bar and starting the voice-memo. Totally planned.

Is the old guy harboring racist views? Absolutely. But the same people going after him for talk of blacks - Sharpton and Larry Johnson and Barkley - have themselves said the same and worse ON TV purposely but they get a pass while this guy is asked to be fined and punished for private remarks? Thats just not right in my book.

Michael Vick tortured and executed hundreds of dogs for his pleasure and he is still in the league.

Pavvy c'mon...you know that blacks like Vick and Pacman Jones and Leonard Little, Kobe and others who kill dogs, drive drunk and kill families, rape white girls are all minor offenses compared to an evil white man who utters words in private

Saloon this horseshit.
No one cares.

99% of NBA owners can't stand blacks either.

Who gives a fk

[Kermit]

I bet if every owner of every sports team were set-up like this 81 year old guy was, the shit that would come out of the majority of their mouths would make what this guy said look like playground banter.

ONE thing is for certain, this "Girlfriend's" future of banging Billionaire owners is OVER.

I find this hard to believe since we don't have 100 teams.

All it takes are 29 and one owner who is racist 6 out of 7 days a week.

Ryan Lillis ‏@Ryan_Lillis 41m Will players walk out if NBA Comm. Silver doesn’t boot Sterling? Mayor KJ says decision will be made after Silver press conference tomorrow.

I'm not sure they can announce booting him. I suspect they will suspend him immediately and indefinitely and state that that is the max penalty that they can do right now. Regardless, he won;t be an owner next year.

If they "walk" they don't get paid right?

Didn't these guys know that their owner had racist tendencies when they signed their million dollar contracts?

[Seaweed]

The Giant deserves a medal for this thread. He is always the first to break the big news. Well done

[jjgold]

They would never walk there playing for money they could care less if the owner kills black people as long as they get their check

[MoneyLineDawg]

If it was an isolated incident he would deserve the benefit of the doubt of it being a bad, private moment....He has a very bad history though which some of you are either unaware or conveniently forgetting

It doesn't matter how the conversation became public or why.....He spoke his mind regardless and now the world knows how he feels.....He can't use the defense of being trapped or railroaded, he's not being sued or arrested, the damage is done

Pretty funny how the whole world is obsessed with what some old Jew thinks of Blacks when it comes down to it

[James D]

.Don will lose day to day control of team tomorrow

Forever? A year? Indefinitely?

typical US non-sense news...

Its just some idiot, owner of a basketball team...with so much news in the world is incredible that all the tvs are showing this dumb story 24/7...American media is beyond stupidity

Right on the money JJgold. Just like the black people in this country have taken welfare for generations.

The black players would never have the guts to give up their paychecks!

Donald Sterling discussion starts 10:45 in

[Sdotbold]

And who is Magic Johnson? The most famous Laker of all time. Who are the Lakers? His team's cross-town rivals who are 1000x more popular.

But if you're emotional, all of this will fly right over your head.

Sterling is worth $1.9 billion. Self-made. My only disappointment here is how a guy like him could get played by a nobody. For that, I chastise Mr. Sterling.

You would think he wouldn't be so dumb to be involved with a person such as that bimbo I saw in those pictures. Anyone with a brain knows this broad was trying to blackmail this guy into dropping the lawsuit. In California it is a two party consent law for recording conversations. He is def prejudice, but that's not a word I hear used anymore. I'm not sure how a person who "hates blacks" could be in love with one? I really feel like it has been blown way out of proportion and people love controversy. The social media Lynch mob mentality in full effect.

I couldn't agree more. Even our president commented on this shit. Doesn't he have better things to worry about?

[brooks85]

lol they are still talking about the issue during a game, just making sure all you sheep don't forget what you learned in class yesterday. Funny how they say it's a black eye on the league, society etc.. yet they bring it up every 5 mins
