sterling although this convo was illegally recorded, will be punished, id imagine for the rest of the playoffs, then this will be old news next season.

you are right Mayan we do cry about racism but not the way you are thinking. We cry about it because we are so sick of hearing about what whites owe every other race from shit from the past. We cry when we are a on a dangerous job and the guy watching are back was not as smart, and scored less on the test to get the job but got it anyway because we have to have a certain amount of minorities on the job? We should be able to bitch about that so we do. Just imagine if this was Magic saying to his girl I don't cares who you hang out wit just don't post pictures of you and crackers, and don't be bringing honkeys around me. It would get about 10 seconds of attention then dropped.Originally posted by King Mayan
Another note didn't this lady embezzle from him or is that another lady who just got the tape? Also shouldn't whoever recorded the phone call be getting charges for illegal wiretapping? You cant record someone without their knowledge as far as I know.Comment -
the clippers boycotting this game today is the dumbest thing i ever heard, im shocked how many other teams players claim they wouldnt play today if they were a clipperComment -
im a little confused on this myself. sterling bought this girlfriend all kinds of things, multiple cars, a duplex, etc, why would she want to ruin him for a few bucks? something seems shady here anyways its now coming out that stiviano had multiple different names and has used other old rich guysOriginally posted by Mitchell88Comment -
Stiviano means gold-digger in Spanish. Look it up.Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
Hilarious the whole thing
The guy was very generous with black people.
Yeah he said stupid things his whole career but that's the way was raisedComment -
he is scheduled to get a naacp award from the la chapter next month, apparently hes been very giving to minority children in his life. his own players and coaches dont seem to have his back here at all though.Comment -
He's a billionaire. He can throw cash around as a business decision to try to mask and distract from his true feelings.Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
perhaps, but hes been known as a tightwad for the majority of his reign of the clippers.Originally posted by d2bets
Sterling basically articulated Plantation Politics...Make money off the Bucks/Lay with the Women/No Association in Public good or bad
thats what david west tweeted yesterday, seems fairly accurate.Comment -
Wikkid hey bud, I understand this is an issue that gets people heated and I don't blame them . I will ignore your fuk you comment and try to explain again what I wrote because you misunderstood what I wrote, and I was pretty clear.Originally posted by wikkidinsane
He was not calling Magic a thug or anything like that. Anyone that would even think that is crazy. He even said repeatedly on the tapes that magic was a guy that should be respected and admired. The thugs he didn't want at the games have been a problem for well over a year. She had six season tickets and her guests were all these gang banging losers with tattoos on their necks that were rude to the staples arena staff everywhere. In the media room, the restaurant upstairs, the arena, everywhere. They knew they could get away with it because V was dons girlfriend. His complaint about magic was about her being on Instagram with magic, (and her Instagram page has been known to insiders forever) magic is laker royalty and we clippers are the little nobody cousin and that affects him. The clippers do everything they can to get their own identity and it bothered him to see the girl he was crazy about with magic on Instagram. Have you ever been to a clipper game the also few years? Do you see the large like 50 foot banners with pictures of the clippers starting 5 five? those banners are there for only one reason, they cover up the dozens of lakers championship banners and laker retired numbers when it's a clipper home game. That's why the banners are up. Clips are just trying to get an identity and magic is a reminder of the fact that our identity in LA has been that of the lakers bitch for 30 years.
Wikkid like I said 5 times already I am not justifying what Don said, he is an idiot for saying what he said and it's a shame that he has some views that are messed up. Most 80 year old people white or black do, just ask the president, he has said do numerous times. What Don said he will get slammed for, how hard only time will tell. But I promise it's going to be much harder then many others in the public have been slammed for saying things far more offensive.Comment -
James said it best is really no need to discuss this anymoreComment -
I'm just glad there are no racist black players in the league. That would be a travesty.Comment -
I've learned something today.. tattoos on your neck mean your a gangbanger or you're 60 years old.

i don't think it will be old news. I think Shelly will be in charge of the clippers next year.Originally posted by thetrinity
They say that because it's not their team very few players would really boycott, however if someone would I would admire them if they felt that strongly. However their teammates may feel different.Originally posted by thetrinity
Sadly JJ he is an 80 year old white guy and they grew up from birth to feel that races were different. Peoples opinions change about things as we evolve intellectually. remember in 2008 president Obama was against gay marriage when he ran for president. In 2012 he was for it. Why the change in just a few years???? Because peoples opinions and knowledge evolves . 80 year white dudes learned their racist ignorant views in the Stone Age by our standardsOriginally posted by jjgold
That is not how things work at all . D2. When you give 40/50 million a year it's not just a write off. As far as it making him look good he gets no,press about his good deeds ever. The media always hated don because of other dumb and sometimes racist stuff he said previously and because he is white old billionaire. No one here ever knew he did anything for charities until this bad story came out and he has given hundreds of millions awayOriginally posted by d2bets
He was a tightwad until Elton brand era with clippers. I disagree with DW tweet. He associated publicly with V all the time. She was his only girlfriend for last few years. They traveled all over the world together she had six season tickets and she even sat in the front row dead center court at clipper games right next to don sometimes ( when wife was out if town) . how could Anyone say no association in public is correct?? Everyone, literally thousands of people knew that was dons girl.Originally posted by thetrinity

o i know hell own the clippers til he dies james, but i dont foresee the "lingering effects" that others are forecasting, like him selling the team, not being able to sign free agents, issues with players drafted etc.Comment -

Stephen a smith was complaining about sterling low wages to black employees this morning. If those coloreds don't want the jobs then go find another one. The fck u complaining about.Comment -
These fckn colored players value their dollars over morals. No fckn chance they boycott shitz.Comment -
this is whats pissed me off the most about the whole thing, jalen rose just said he wouldnt play today if he were a clipper, what a load of shit. your boss is a jerk, lots of people could say that and go on.Originally posted by TwoWaysComment -
So you think they should boycott the game? What exactly would be the purpose of the boycott. You boycott when you are demanding a certain action. What would they be demanding today?Originally posted by TwoWaysComment -
Yeah, I saw that, he's full of shit on that one. Trying to make headlines. You boycott to make a stand to get a result. What would be the purpose. He's already said he won't be at the game. The league will deal with it soon. There is nothing to boycott right now. But I will bet that Sterling will not be an owner by next season or the team will boycott. Sterling is done as an owner.Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
He could mention we had a black GM for 22 years and we picked losers and sucked all those years. We finally fired him as GM and he sued (and lost 12-0 of course) for racial discrimination. Clippers still forgave him and give him work. Funny Stephen A Smith won't mention this issue.Originally posted by TwoWaysComment -
Not calling you out or anything but I would bet you any amount you want if sincere. Full disclosure I am certain I am the only person posting here that has spoken to Don, Shelly, and NBA execs since this has happened .Originally posted by d2betsComment -
She didn't want his old wrinkled cok any more so she set him up and took the play money for itComment -
If Baylor was so upset for how much he was getting paid, then he could have gotten another GM job elsewhere. Oh, hold on a second! He sucks as a GM. Nobody else wanted him! Those 29 owners must be racist too!Originally posted by James DComment -

Many people don't like certain races. Doesn't mean they are racists. If the owner doesn't wasn't certain black tattooed gang bangers trashing his suites he can kick them out especially when he is paying for the tickets. If someone doesn't want to rent or sell to certain people he is not a racist..he is a smart businessman. You take a risk when you own a business. Are you saying the credit rating system is racist because not everyone can have an 800 FICO score?Comment -
Yes, I would bet you, but the bet would have to be carefully defined. The wording could be tricky. But the bottom line is he is going to be pushed out. He will be persona non grata. Doc Rovers will not coach for him next season and Chris Paul will not play for him.Originally posted by James DComment -

How is he breaking the law? I own a rental house. I interview potential renters and only rent my house to who I want. I'm the one who takes the risk of having my rental house being trashed.Originally posted by d2betsComment -
Of course. It's not about money. He's got more money than he can spend and always will. Money is not everything.Originally posted by TwoWaysComment -
