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

[KnickerBonkerz]

People are racist, get over it. People hate gays too. That's how the world is. REALITY CHECK.

If he had publicly said these things then it would be wrong. But he was tricked into saying them publicly. Totally different.

And before u call me racist or something I'm not saying I agree with him/support his views. I'm just saying that people are f*****ed up and have f*****ed up views. ESPECIALLY old people. How do u not know this?

What a pile of nonsense. Of course I know some people are still racist, or hate Gay people, etc.. Writing 'GET OVER IT' and 'REALITY CHECK' isn't actually going to make anyone not care. 'Hey, let's just accept racism and racists because some people are racist'. Great plan! It is actually important to ostracize and marginalize people like Sterling so that other people know that type of behavior is unacceptable. He has publicly said as bad, if not worse comments than what she recorded. Sitting quietly, 'just because' is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. You don't change anything by sitting quietly and letting them continue.

I never said to "accept racism" you're just twisting my words now. Stop it.

People can be racist, homophobic, whatever the hell they want, as long as they do it in private and keep it to themselves. I know you don't want to hear this, but it's just how some people are brought up, and it's not going to change until those people die out. It's not going to change by demonizing these people either. Not everyone is perfect. But publicly declaring you are racist and being racist in private are two separate things. Please tell me, who exactly has he harmed from this? All I'm seeing is a gold digging spoiled brat of a girlfriend trying to smear his reputation. Looks like she's succeeded.

I'm sure there is something about you that is not politically correct (or are u gonna tell me ur perfect?)

Well how would you like it if someone just took your views/opinions which are not popular with others, and spread them for the world to hear?

Sounds like a racist, but dates a half black girl and employs black basketball players.

Usually racists wouldn't have ANY black people around them or working for them.

your analogy is extremely poopy just like you.... If i was racist I would still employ black people if they can make me rich..... Id be a rich racist person..... money>racism

Yeah, it makes sense if i was racist slavery owner.

But if i am billionaire (obviously doesn't need the $$$) like Sterling and i don't like blacks, i wouldn't be owning a basketball team or paying a half black girl to allegedly have sex with me for money or even hang out with them all together.


Basically what i meant to say is racism is obviously hate and if you truly don't like black people and are already rich , why own a NBA team where the league is full of black players, pay a black girl to allegedly have sex with you and pay millions of $$ every year to a race you discriminate against ?
Making money shouldn't be the answer because he got **** tones of it.

cause he wants control of his enemy....and also he thinks he is better then them on some level....

[Neutral 123]

can someone explain to me how the phone call got leaked? Or can someone please convince me that it wasn't the girlfriend? Preferably one of you posters who are painting her as the innocent victim in all this

still trying to understand how anyone can feel sorry for her when she's obviously only with him for the money, and she's f****king other guys with his permission. The poor thing.

Hell if I could get that money, do whatever the fk i want and all i gotta do is put up with some racism? I'd do it in a heartbeat

Hell, I'd chip in a few bucks myself if I knew you'd be taking it from behind from Sterling.

lol way to completely miss the point.

I guarantee you his girlfriend knew he was a racist POS. And she still got with him. Why? Money. So go ahead and feel sorry for her if u want, but u just look like a tool.

I don't think this story has much to do about his gf which is why no one is pointing fingers at her. The story is about how big of a scumbag Sterling is. And relative to that racist dinosaur she is a saint.

Yeah well it seems to me like she's the one airing out his dirty laundry. It'd be irresponsible for no one to ask "why"

Distract... The only reason I care anything about her is because she was nice enough to expose this POS. Trying to smear her has nothing to do with what he said. Sterling's a scumbag who shouldn't be owning an NBA team.

[KnickerBonkerz]

Lol I hate to burst your bubble but Sterlings not gonna get kicked out of the NBA for this. I mean billionaires don't just fall off trees, and despite what you might think not a whole lot of them are saints either

I'm not trying to defend him, I'm just trying to inject some of you with a healthy dose of reality, because you seem to be living in la la land

Speaking out, ostracizing and marginalizing people with racist and homophobic views is how progress is made. There's a little reality check for you.

Or maybe she did it so she can expose this monster? Who knows? All that matters is that, if it wasn't for her, nothing would have been done to this scumbag. Regardless of her intentions, this was great that this came to light.

Move extraordinarily quickly ? Kind of vague.

Huh? I'm sure there would be plenty of potential buyers for the franchise. Fall off trees? LOL, that's cute.

[KnickerBonkerz]

dude I don't give a crap what he's done in the past. If he is such a horrible person then why hasn't the NBA done anything until now? I'll tell you, because only NOW they are getting a crapload of bad press. You think that something's gonna be done because they want progress to be made and to make the world a better place? Jesus christ

The Clippers could be sold in less than 15 minutes if they were for sale. He isn't going to be kicked out of the league, there isn't a mechanism for that I don't think, but he is going to be suspended and fined, and they aren't going to let him be visible anywhere near the team in the short term. His players actually voted on whether to keep playing on a title contender in the NBA playoffs or not, that's how big of a deal this is.

oh you're sure? okay ill just take your word for it.

That's weird because it seemed like Seattle was looking for an owner for like the longest time.... they finally found one and what'd they do? moved the team. lol

your assumptions are baseless

You realize where that crapload of bad press is coming from, right? It's the people who aren't listening to you that are forcing change.

[KnickerBonkerz]

and btw the NBA doesn't just sell franchises to whoever the hell has a boatload of money

[Badonkadonk]

Hate to burst yours but if MLB can coerce the McCourts into selling the LA Dodgers, then the NBA can do the same to this clown.

Yeah, Sterling is a racist and the world is full of them, doesn't mean you just accept that fact and move on. Brutal.

So tell me where were all these people when that apartment stuff went down? The point being is we've known he's a racist old coot for a while now. But now this has happened and you wanna act like you're actually contributing something by calling a spade a spade. Yup. Changing the world one day at a time

[emphatikdunker]

Damn, it's real. At first, I thought it was satire

Well proves that just because you f*** a girl, doesn't mean you aren't racist. I would have assumed that since he's Jewish, he would be more understanding of racism because of the history of discrimination of Jews, but I guess not.

The most troubling thing is that he points out that his friends point to him that his girlfriend has black friends, so his racism isn't just him. There are quite a lot of social circles out there that are racist, and people seem to discount racism because they haven't been exposed to them yet.

If I were the Clippers, I'd just walk out and quit the games out of self-respect.

lol. money....... end of story.....
