Sterling shoots off his other foot. Wife announces "wtf he's demented".


Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling lashed out at Magic Johnson during a CNN interview broadcast Monday night, alluding to the NBA’s great’s HIV-positive diagnosis and saying, “I don’t think he’s a good example for the children of Los Angeles.”.

Sterling’s comments came as he addressed racial remarks he made that prompted the NBA to ban him for life. In a recording released by TMZ two weeks ago, Sterling tells a female friend, V. Stiviano, not to associate with black people, including Johnson.

"What kind of guy goes to every city, has sex with every girl, then catches” HIV, Sterling told Anderson Cooper. “I think he should be ashamed of himself.”

...

In the ABC interview, Shelly Sterling also suggested that Donald Sterling was suffering from dementia, which she said could explain the comments caught on tape.

I did listen to 10 minutes of him babbling on the tape. He did sound demented.

But, his history with the housing discrimination tells the story of someone who should not be allowed to own a basketball team.

maybe a bit of dementia thrown in as well, but that doesn't excuse his racist comments. Sterling got what he deserved.
