OT - Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My Games

Breaking News: Sterling moving Clippers to Birmingham, Alabama.

 

Mullan, ID, would be better than Birmingham.

 

They should have an empty seat out.

Somewhere Olshey is thanking his lucky stars he made the choice to leave the Clippers.

Honestly, how do the players continue to play for a guy like this?

 

Very true. I aint sayin she a gold digga, but she only mess with rich wiggas, if he has his way.

 

This is clearly the PC police prosecuting a job creator! Reverse racism! Other such nonsense! :MARIS61:

 

I heard the calls to suspend Sterling but honestly, how does the league suspend an owner? When a player or coach is suspended, he/she cannot attend games or practices and forfeits salary, but an owner? George Steinbrenner was barred from active management of the Yankees for a period of time but that was after a felony conviction.

However, good luck getting stars to come, or to stay. I remember when the former Twins owner went on a racist rant many years ago, then Twins player Rod Carew, who is African-American and Jewish, said he would not play another day for that team, and did not. Feel for the players, in the midst of a playoff series they're all going to be asked about this shit, for which they are not responsible.

 

Is anyone sticking up for Sterling? I've yet to see that person.

 

Steinbrenner was also suspended by Fay Vincent because George paid Howard Spira $40k to dig up dirt on Dave Winfield. His felony conviction/suspension occurred years prior to his second suspension, and was because of illegal campaign contributions to Richard Nixon in 1972. So, there is precedence to suspend an owner of a major sport w/out any legal reason to do so.

Marge Schott also got suspended for her comments about Hitler.

 

No thanks.

 

how much is he paying his GF?

 

ok just listened to the tape.

1. he doesnt care if she sees black people, fucks black people, spends all her time with black people. He just doesnt want her to publicize it, take pictures with them, and above all - NEVER bring them to the game.
2. he seems fine with the fact his gf is mixed race, he just thought she was latino/white, not latino/BLACK/white....
3. he said its fine for her to fuck Magic.

sounds like a fantastic arrangement they have there......

can't wait to see his public response on this

 

If that's the recording she released to get his attention in whatever she's trying to get out of him how bad must the other dirt she has on him be? Video of Sterling with black trannies?

 

Maybe now the refs will call the Clippers for flopping. At least something good would then come out of the ugly situation.

 

I sure hope they aren't. However, I can think of at least two posters that have yet to show up to this thread that may have an opinion similar to the hyperbole I posted.

 

Sterling is the kind of guy that will stick some Lawyers to fight whatever the League tries to do.

 

That won't happen. Opposing fans will just buy the seats.
