V: Do you know that you have a whole team that's black, that plays for you?

DS: You just, do I know? I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? Do I know that I have—Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners, that created the league?


Racism is a part of this, too, I think, but the general point is that his employees don't earn their keep. He gives it to them, and they take it from him.

Let him spew hatred in his own home. He does not deserve the largesse he has gotten from the hard work of his employees even though, from his own words, he is their exploiter.

As usual the parasites at the top mistake their ability to exploit the work of others to concentrate wealth for themselves as 'wealth creation', and pat themselves on the back for something that could exist just fine without them.

Donald Sterling does not 'give' them anything. He allows them to keep a fraction of the wealth he collects from other people who want to see them play. He's as much a leech as the recording industry is on musical artists.
