    I think this is all a big over-reaction. She's a gold digger, and his little trophy play thing, and all he seems to care about is her image to his friends. Of course it's all silly why make a big deal over it?

    I don't see this as "permission" to have sex with Magic or any other African-American, I see that as a sarcastic racist reference to the supposed sexual prowess of Black men.

    And not suprisingly, any time a woman is involved, however peripherally, the "solution" is to attack her. News flash: this woman can be the biggest craphead in the universe. It still does not justify these comments.

    There is one poster here who thinks it's no big deal. ONE. Everybody else agrees with you on these disgusting words by Sterling.

    People defending Sterling remind of the same kooks defending Clive Bundy and his own racist comments. You're not going to sway many people into siding with Sterling or Bundy, so it's best to just throw them under the bus and move on to things that matter.

    Its a pretty typical outlook though.
    A lot of nightlife venues, restaurants, hotels do not want to become a "black venue" or attract that crowd. They just hide it a lot better.

    I think what Sterling didn't want was the Clippers to become the team of the poorer black and mexican population of LA. I mean a lot of them are Laker fans but they can't afford the Laker ticket prices.

    That's what's so nice about having the Timbers around, they've taken the Mexican fan base away from the Blazers.

    Except for the HCP guy...

    Remember a few years ago, Sterling took a woman to the lockeroom and said "I want to show you all these beautiful black bodies that work me. Aren't they beautiful?". He was objectifying them like they were slaves. Very disturbing. No one has brought this up today.

    Clippers considered boycotting Game 4 of playoffs against Warriors in response to Donald Sterling's racist comments.
