I'm not going to defend Sterling but on issues of race people need to know that you can't change the opinions of a 80-yr old. FWIW he's paying out millions of dollars to African-American players and a coach. Looks like a case where Sterling was lashing out at this gold digger and made some shameful comments in the heat of the moment.


Yeah....no.

There is a rich tradition in the United States of racist white men paying money to be entertained by the athletic exploits of black men in much the same way that ordinary people pay money to watch animals perform in the circus.


Then how can you tell which ones are racists, unless you secretly record them?

Can't buy the exploitation argument when you're paying $80,000,000 in salary to African Americans.

Exploitation is minimum wage/slavery and not $10,000,000 a year contract for a tall guy to put a ball in a hoop.


Expoitation becaise of how much he proits off the nba. You kids cant get past the point of comparing their salaries to your 9-5 lol. Lebron should be making a substantial amount more for what value he brings to the league. A salary cap is in place so owners can attain assets at a set price even though the league grows in value annualy.


Sounds like the whole league is racist.

He's absolutely right, Centre Court. She entered into a relationship with a man she had to know is a racist **** as he's displayed it many, many times even out in the open for people to see. It is well-documented. Why be with a man like that and why would you not leave the second you realize that kind of behaviour is taking place? She's even half-black and she's willing to put up with his racist crap because he's her sugar daddy. He's a racist ****, but she's a scumbag as well.

[quoteLast month, CBS reported that Rochelle Sterling, Sterling's wife, filed a lawsuit against Stiviano, alleging she had a sexual affair with her husband. The suit, which states Sterling and Stiviano began their relationship after meeting at the Super Bowl in 2010, asks for a return of all cash, land cars and other items that under California law are the community property of the Sterlings.][/quote]

Go ahead. Continue to shoot the messenger and then pretend you're occupying some mythical higher ground that is only apparent to you and a handful of others - while you ignore the real issue.

Ok so I come in peace first of all. But it seems her motives are just slightly suspect, that's why people "shoot the messenger" in this circumstance in my opinion.

Well my theory was that the NBA would react however Magic reacts. Magic isn't excusing Sterling, so this will go somewhere now, imo.

It's an all-black instagram photo, which will send Sterling into a heart attack.

This is pathetic for many reasons. How about having an ounce of self-respect, girlfriend.

I think Donald Sterling would be happier with a hockey team. Or maybe a curling team.
