When he said don't bring any black people to my games he was talking to his gf bringing friends to the game that makes it look like she is sleeping around with other people. It makes his friends (other billonaires) think he is soft.

Exactly, just like full blown racists would never own a plantation filled with black workers or sleep with black women either!

Nope.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

I was watching CNN, supposedly his wife might divorce him and take him to court over rights for the team, thus the NBA would have a harder time making him sell if he isn't complete owner or something. Interesting tactic if they go that route.

This is considered baiting. This is your only warning.

EDIT: Wait...how many warnings do you already have against your record? Wow.

V. Stiviano is not his girlfriend!! Her attorney said that is not their relationship. Which makes sense given that he told her that she could sleep with black men just don't bring them to a game. Who tells their girlfriend its ok to sleep with someone else?

But you wonder then why he gave her those cars...

Won't work. The NBA has right of refusal for any new owners. They'll never approve her. She'd have to sell her stake right away, if it were awarded.

I wonder, just how pissed would Sterling be if Clippers won the title this year and he'd be made to sell the team.

Return to Toronto Raptors
