    So you're saying he knew it would get out?

    Don't believe it. She's no doubt a vixen.

    This proves that 1%ers don't deserve their 1%.

    Who says that? I'm trying to find the source, the person who made the tape.

    He's certainly entitled to his own opinion. It seems likely that his girlfriend set him up and she may face some legal consequences as a result, but I'm not familiar with California privacy law. Nonetheless, I don't feel sorry for him. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, there are some opinions, such as his, that people ought not have. Further, his history - Elgin Baylor and DoJ lawsuit, several allegations of racist comments - suggests that he has gone beyond merely having an opinion and has acted on it. I think he's very deserving of all the backlash he has received.

    I also think that Donald Sterling has always been a self-destructive douchebag, who has somehow managed to always fall upwards. Without Neil Olshey, there is no way Chris Paul is in Los Angeles. How happy must Neil be to be away from that madness?

    Huh? I wouldn't stand by Sterling, let alone give him an award.

    What is telling, though, is that the NAACP apparently bestows honors like these on people who give them the most money. Sterling gives a lot of money to the NAACP ... maybe that's his own way to assuage his white guilt?

    Oh no, here comes one of jlprk's crazy conspiracy theories.

    Aliens? GW Bush? 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll?

    I completely agree with this point of view. People have the right to be as stupid and bigoted as they wish. And free agents have the right not to sign with the Clippers. Doc Rivers has the right to quit as coach. And fans have the right not to continue to support the team he owns.

    I hope people express their displeasure with Mr. Sterling.

    Perhaps this is an opinion you ought not have. No?

    Everyone is going to have thoughts and feelings on things. I'm not sure we are qualified enough to go around policing and telling them how and what they should think and feel. He feels it. He's entitled to it.

    Tody, Al Sharpton condemned Sterling. Every conservative laughs at Al Sharpton and despises him. Why are you two cronies of Al Sharpton? Do you hate America?

    Latest conspiracy theory is that Putin is behind the rebels in Ukraine.
