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

He'll get booed out of his own stadium if he ever attends another game, so he may as well sell the team so he can spend all the money on black hookers. After he sells, he should show up to a clipper game one night with like 5 black escorts.

 

Unsure if you even read what she wrote. Doesn't appear so.

 

He is a registered Republican, she said she doesn't know why he would. Where was she attempting to smear him.

 

Wow, you consider it a smear to say someone is a Republican? Who knew?
I don't know about Sterling's donations, I suppose I could look them up, but he has been a registered Republican since 1998. So it's unlikely he would have donated to Obama's presidential campaigns, although I suppose that's possible.

At any rate, I really doubt that this is a giant conspiracy by Obama supporters.

 

No kidding. That's loony talk. Democrats are just not competent at stuff like that.

 

What a clusterfuck. I don't envy the Clips right now.

Every sponsor is apparently pulling out. Groups are protesting protests all over before and during the game.

 

We had our weekly conference call and during it, one of my partners commented that Sterling has completely fucked himself in regards to his business. I thought he meant the Clips, but he meant his real estate holdings. He asked--quite rightly--who was going to lend this guy money, no matter how good the property or the deal was? Real estate is driven by debt. You refinance every 5-7 years with a 20-25 year amortization. Debt to equity is 60%-70% in non-REIT deals. No one is going to want to be seen as his money guy. These transactions aren't publicly heralded, but they're common knowledge in the industry.

His family had better hope he dies soon, because his business is fucked.

 

I decided to look up what Limbaugh said. I'm not sure the context, but he was hardly sticking up for Sterling. Once again, you don't offer any context to bring a political issue to the main board. Limbaugh actually makes some salient points, and the odd part is that he recently played golf with Doc Rivers in LA.

 

I'm guessing getting nearly $1b by selling the team to Magic Johnson and the Dodgers group will help out his financial situation. Hopefully Magic and his business partners are working on a proposal right now.

 

Hey Mods: since this is not Blazers talk, not breaking news, and has veered into the usual bullshit politics talk, can we move it to the OT forum with the rest of the garbage?

 

Did she say he was sticking up for him? She wrote exactly what you had in the beginning of your transcript you posted.

 

Actually we are in complete agreement on one thing. It has nothing to do with Obama. That was my point.
But when someone has registered with a party for 16 years, it's safe to call him/her a "member" of that party.

No insane conspiracy theories are needed here, folks.

 

New over/under game should be if this lasts longer than Ray Rice beating the shit out of a woman.

Curious why there seems to be a place for actual criminals in the NBA, but not for a bigot?

 

Change the name of the corporation and hide behind layers of middle men. Rebrand so you don't know who it is. Sort of like Ally Financial (GOVERNMENT OWNED BANK). He's a billionaire who can sell his franchise for close to another billion dollars. He'll be ok, banks aren't moral judges, they'll sell their shit to anyone who can make them a profit.

alot of the luxury real estate around town has his name on it though. but they are all a bunch of old jews living in them. everything else is probably hidden under holding companies without his name on it. he was sued for being a slum lord.

 

Bill Walton weighs in, although it's unclear if he was interviewed by Ron Burgundy, Champ Kind or Wes Mantooth

Yea it is a little odd the way it's all going down.

 

All the characters are weird. Mostly, I think LA is just a fucked up place.
