what a terrible time to come out with something like this. not that its ok to say this anytime but especially when the playoffs have been great this year and your team is still in the hunt

Sterling has a history of weird behavior and racism. the NBA is going to have to make him sell the team. this reminds me when MLB had to force marge schott out for her Nazi comments. if you listen to the conversation IMO it was a set-up. his ex girlfriend knew she could corner him into his racist views in a conversation. so there was probrably some stuff going on between them , maybe he was fed up with her or visa versa. HES DONE AS OWNER!!! there is no coming back from this.

I agree, now the Warriors feel like beating the Clippers is like taking a stand against racism. Meanwhile the Clippers have no pride at all wearing their jerseys.

if the Clips really wanted to make a point the next Clippers home game the fans boycott and the Clippers refuse to let anyone come and watch.

At this point it appears Olbermann was right. Should have just forfeited.

I wish every racist fuck in a position of power had a girlfriend who set them up into revealing the true shit human being they are.

Apparently, the NBA has no legal standing to take the team from him. Unlike MLB, they have no rule in which an owner can be removed.

The only way would be for players to refuse to sign there or even more effective, they should do like Dodgers fans did to force the McCourt's out. Basically, Dodgers fans stopped showing up for games and the income loss forced McCourt to sell to cut his losses.

I agree, players have to refuse to play there for change to be made. League could only fine/suspend him & the fans have never mattered to the Clippers franchise anyways.

they wont ever do that either. In the end, money drives them. They'll continue to play for the racist all awhile thinking taking their warm ups off is a statement maker.

That's true. He managed to keep his team when they were lucky to get 6,000 people to show up.

I agree, players can't be trusted to take a stand when millions of dollars on the line.

Yeah, empty arenas never mattered to the Clippers.

 

[OregonDucks]

But again, this dude has been making racists statements for decades. He's always been a low life POS. Yet he still gets players. You'd think players, coaches (or their agents) would do a bit of research before interviewing or accepting the job of their future employer like the rest of us do when we go into a job interview. A simple google search on this dude reveals he has been saying these things for a long time and this isn't anything new.

Now, all of a sudden since TMZ and ESPN have blown it up, now it suddenly affects the players and coaches.

Those were the good ol' days though. I used to go to the occasional Clippers game to see players from other teams when they were playing in the L.A. Sports Arena. You could get tickets dirt cheap and sit pretty much wherever you wanted.

Didn't have to wait in line for beer or food. It was great.

V: I don't understand, I don't see your views. I wasn't raised the way you were raised.
DS: Well then, if you don't feel -- don't come to my games. Don't bring black people, and don't come.
V: Do you know that you have a whole team that's black, that plays for you?
DS: You just, do I know? I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? Do I know that I have—Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners, that created the league?

True, I remember things being like that for the Penguin gams about 10 years ago. It's nice having an empty arena to yourself from a fan's perspective
