That old racist Sterling is wallowing in his bile tonight. Sometimes I wonder what century we're in. Well, I know what century I 'm in and so do these kids and the NBA commish and players. But these Neanderthals?

Sorry, I'm cynical.

(13,490 posts)but I think enough of the owners were appalled and upset by his statement to make an effect. And I believe that they will vote to force his hand to sell the team. And that is good for the players.
No team owner OWNS the players, no matter what BS Sterling spouted about feeding and providing for his team. And I think that this is opening up the YEARS of horrible abuses by Sterling and creating the ability for us to have a conversation about this. Sure we knew racism existed, but this plantation mentality? I feel shocked by this.
I'm glad that hateful old bigot has been publicly shamed.

(10,274 posts)It's not like he didn't and his marketing team approve it.
It's theatre, as long as he owns the clippers, he owns everything about the business including the website.

(10,274 posts)Rooting for teams they quickly forget it's a business and the whole goal is advertising.

(3,844 posts)Frankly, I don't know how or why the Clippers franchise still exist. They should have folded or moved out of town a long time ago.
