Sterling banned for life from the NBA (P. 40)

[Fairview4Life]

We've had multiple threads about Tim Donaghy, and yet this woman is the messenger some are choosing to belittle or ignore? Who gives a **** why she was in a relationship with him. Hitler could have recorded him, it wouldn't have changed the fact that Sterling says and thinks this abhorrent ****.

She came into the relationship knowing what kind of scum he was, she had a change of heart when he cancelled there trip to Europe. She's just as guilty for supporting this man and needs to take some responsibility in this.

The sad part is she will probably be on every news/media outlet telling her sob story about how bad of a human being Sterling is, but when she was getting her bills paid she never had a problem.

Responsibility for what? She bears 0 responsibility for Sterling being a racist ****. She is responsible for us finding out about this latest reminder. I have no idea why anyone would care about Sterling's privacy on this topic, or vilify her for telling everyone about it. Who cares if she really is a vindictive money hungry despicable person? That in no way affects the fact that Sterling is a racist ****.

[UnRealGM]

slumlord and a racist, what else is new. your move, silver.

[MA29]

You are giving her too much credit..she is a gold digger

You don't think Sterling knows that? He does in fact, its a 2 way relationship. This man is a scum sexist misogynist, and racist. He's spoiling her and like many humans she likes being spoiled. So what? Just as prostitutes aren't the main problem, it's the irrationality of men who think it's ok to pay for females that's the problem.

Under that logic she should have kept her mouth shut, it's a two way relationship as you said and she knew what she was getting herself into.

She's human, like you, like me.. there is only so much one can take. She may have put up with it for years but who knows what previously tipped her over the edge which lead to her recording.

It's disgusting how many of you will classify racism on the same level as Gold Digging. Racism is a one way problem you don't blame a minority for being a minority, you blame the person that discriminates against the minorities. Gold Digging is a two way street where you blame the female for using her physical and emotional power over males for economic benefit but equally blame the male for exploiting a woman and her features with monetary and materialistic value.

What you're essentially saying is ridiculous. So if a male falls in love with a female that has a known abusive history forms a relationship with her. The female beats the husband. Now using "your self proclaimed logic" since he knew what he was getting into he should keep his mouth shut.

[MA29]

lol you make it seem like shes some victim here. She damn well knows what shes doing, lets not forget it takes two to play the game. Sterling can be an axe murderer but this woman is willingly subjecting herself to this because shes getting a free ride.

People with money will always do things like this because people without it will always sell their souls to get it

She IS a victim here. To racial discrimination. Its a fact. Its shown in the recording.

She may very well be gold digging. She might not, but there's a good chance she is.

BUT the problem here is that many posters here are focusing on Sterling's girlfriend and subjectively putting her on the same pedestal as him. Which is wrong. I'm sure you agree?

This guy is a joke and needs to pay for his words.

Wow.

The immaturity on his part baffles me.

Jeez how does this guy still have a job? Disgusting. Can't have these type of people in the NBA. Silver has to lay the smack down.

[Letsgetit]

As a man whos half black im upset but not really surprised.

Hes owns an nba team, all the other owners are white, and all of them beside marc cuban were brought up rich and in white neighbourhoods.

To them associating with ghetto people or blacks looks weird and out of place. Hes trying to fit in with his peers, i dont think he has real "hate" towards black people, just more of an "image" to portray to the other owners of the league.

Either that or his wifes cheating on him with a black guy and hes crazy paranoid and doesnt want her around any other guys who could please her better than his old fat ass can lol.

[Throwback24]

What does the Raptors ownership group have to say about this? If we're trying to create a winning culture we need to take a stand here.

In a statement, Heat owner Micky Arison calls Donald Sterling’s comments “appalling, offensive and very sad.”

We're too late now. We've lost our opportunity to garner respect from the American media

I don't see anything wrong with what he said, everyone is blowing it out of proportion lol SMH!!!!

You sound silly seriously. Sterling is a hardcore RACIST. You don't need to be black, white or green to realize that.

To be honest the first thing that popped into my mind after watching the video was that this gold-digger got what she deserved.

But she`s still a human being, and doesn't need this in her life.

The Clippers have opened their own investigation, team president Andy Roeser said in a statement.

"We have heard the tape on TMZ. We do not know if it is legitimate or it has been altered," he said. "We do know that the woman on the tape -- who we believe released it to TMZ -- is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even.'

Interesting.

"Mr. Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings. It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life. He feels terrible that such sentiments are being attributed to him and apologizes to anyone who might have been hurt by them.

Wow.

[WiggOuts]

I want to know why Clippers players are taking this so seriously...they already knew Sterling was a racist idiot. Deandre Jordan should delete his stupid black photo off instagram because it's making him look like a moron.

Jesus christ.

Amazing, ain't it?

Who knew cavemen could type?

lol. but seriously tho, how can they not know the man was this way. LOL at CP3's comments last year about wanting to be coached by a black guy and not Del Negro...I wonder what Sterling thought about firing a white guy for a black guy

[Dr Positivity]

Sterling is a piece of crap but I think there's a non-insane chance he's getting hustled here. The GF is getting sued by his wife and sounds sketch overall and when I listened to the audio cilp last night, something just felt artificial about the dialog. I mean I don't know how rich crazy LA-ers talk I guess, but it felt like a conversation designed around getting to Sterling's comments and more neurotic on both ends than I would imagine it to be. Not to mention they go the whole heated conversation with it devolving into a "f*ck you c*nt" or w/e, or the GF getting freaked out by how racist he's being.

Imagine this series of events. The GF gets dumped, then doctors up a fake conversation and tries to blackmail Sterling for money. When things devolve she leaks it. Not inconceivable.

That analogy is dumb because no one should deal with abuse on any level, if you know that an individual is abusive you leave. Its not like they were married, you move on, she stayed for the money and was ok with his racist ideology. I'm not saying racism is the same as gold digging, I'm merely stating she is in the wrong as well for accepting the money knowing he was a racist.

Yes he could be, im not saying hes not racist.

However i feel like i can relate somewhat to what hes saying, i work in construction surrounded by portugese and italians and its almost frowned upon if you advertise your black side around them.

Im half black but look pretty white and when i tell them my background you can see a change in the way they speak and treat you.

Racism is still alive no doubt, and unfortunately you need to act a certain way to get ahead. (sometimes)

[BloodyNose]

hes a racist old man, how surprising.
