Please, someone tell me it's not real....and the hypocrisy...that is one sad man. And lady, there are other rich fish in the sea...that aren't bigots. There's only so far you can swallow your pride.

Weird people, both of them. He sounds like an old, confused guy. She I guess was recording him? Sounded like baiting him.

I think the response from Magic will direct where this goes.

We'll see if Silver has any balls now. He needs to ban Sterling like Marge Schott.

Wow this is so sad! You'd hope that someone with so much power, could make a positive change on society. I recently read that in Brampton there were anti-immigration flyers going around discriminating against the Sikh community... also very sad :( !

People are going to miss what their conversation was really about....

He is a racist, but the conversation was more about his friends making little comments to him about all the black guys she spends time around and what that must mean, hence the whole "do whatever you want with them, you can sleep with them just don't go broadcasting it". He's a sad, weak old man who just wants a young hot woman to spend time around him and do whatever she wants on the side, so long as it doesn't make him look bad. He's more worried about her flaunting her side action and immasculating him than he's worried about her being around, say, women minorities.

She's a gold-digger who clearly set him up and is looking to become famous for it. They both deserve eachother. The whole thing just makes me feel dirty and is another example of how money corrupts the human soul.

Edit to add: He's probably a little more sensitive about his girlfriends being around black guys after the allegations made by a former Clipper about how he used to bring girls down to the showers so they could look at the players while showering.

Jesus....

The entire crowd should wear paper bags over their heads (like they used to), but everyone should paint the bag black. Sterling would love it, racist piece of garbage.

I hear ya, but he said what he said too. Just because a racis, rich, old white guy has those beliefs, doesn't mean he needs to be protected from the fallout of said beliefs. Setup or not.

And who are we kidding. This is the defintion of a gold-digger/rich old guy relationship. It was basically a transaction from the jump and the whole idea of "privacy" goes out the window when your with a long-term pro.

Yeah, it's pretty well-known that Donald Sterling is a scumbag and a racist.

You sound like a bigot, too. One racist bigot shouldn't be commenting on another.
