You do know Donald Sterling has had this rep for 20+ years right?

yeah but times have changed....ain't no way in hell are the players going to want to employed by an owner who is a pro-racist

This is not a new thing. He's always been a racist, but no one has ever really cared.

damn so the black people being paid by Donald are just going to act like he didn't say a damn word and continue to "keep getting them checks" smh

 

[sneakertalk]

Bulls/Wiz good 4th q so far wow

 

[tommyicerocking]

...

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Holy **** I just heard the full Sterling audio. Wow. We all know of his ways, but it's on a different level when there's this type of documentation.

What a piece of garbage that man is.

Ignorant idiot.

This is a ******g mess for the NBA and embarrassing as hell for Silver and co.

Does he have any daughters? I hope Nick Young impregnates them all.

I posed the question on here a year ago but I wonder what the dudes on the Clippers think about sterling. No way I would choose to play there as a FA.

I wouldn't be able to do it either g. No amount of money in the world is worth playing for that *****.

 

[Peep Game]

Blake Griffin and Matt Barnes play half of the game...

Julius F. Wrek

Dammit, beat me to the light skin joke.

How many halves of the Warriors will play?

 

[sneakertalk]

Wall misses both free throws...

 

[jumpmanpro97]

The black players should sit the next game

that headline is a little deceiving did everyone listen to the entire convo? Who recorded that? the gf?

Uuuuhhhhhhh YUP! Sterling is a known racist and slumlord. Just google this dude. The NBA, players, coaches...have put up with his ish for decades and turned a blind eye and kept their mouths shut.

This won't change things...he's done worse

 

[sneakertalk]

Butler with the clutch 3! Wow

 

[victor page]

If dude shows his face in Staples during the remainder of these playoffs...he REALLLLY dgaf.

 

[sea manup]

only thing the league can do is push him to sell the team (hopefully they do)

a fine for a guy like that is meaningless 

there will always be players willing to play for him if money is on the table

Obvious the girl recorded it
Prob as blackmail, but y'all know Sterling as a senile mfer gives no dambs

It's been out in the open for a while, read this.

well there's out in the open and out in the OPEN

average fans are not reading deadspin or tmz

if espn would do a segment on this it would be a huge deal imo

 

[dman14]

sterling might as well throw on a white hoodie at the gm. players been knowing about his reputation, but they get paid MILLIONS to do what they love. he basically signs the check, dont think he is "hands on"

 

[jinkazama]

Sterling ain't selling. Dude has been the low key Mark Cuban before Cuban was rich enough to buy the mavs. Dude does and says what the fudge he wants and dares the NBA to punish him. He's just not public with it. Stern's biggest failure was not getting rid of this guy, but what could he do. Sterling and the other owners were basically his boss

kkk don't like Jewish people

 

[JD617]

It's been on espn.com and ESPN Magazine too, look at the fourth link I edited in especially the last paragraph.

 

[sea manup]

has to come from players on other teams imo

make it a big deal and it will be a big deal

 

[elpablo21]

If dude shows his face in Staples during the remainder of these playoffs...he REALLLLY dgaf.

He's the type to get a kick out of it probably

 

[jumpmanpro97]

I wonder if that's why DJ DENSE the clippers stadium dj plays all gritty hip hop during the pre game TYGA, PUSHA T ROSS KENDRICK etc, I never hear him spin top 40.

 

[mr marcus]

Will lose respect for every black player on the clips squad if they don't say something. It don't gotta be some al sharpton **** but make it known you are disgusted by his actions.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

There's no doubt in my mind this is gonna be a big deal. This is 9 minutes of audio from the man himself and it even has a reference to Magic Johnson. Social media is gonna eat this up and ESPN + bunch of other news outlets are gonna cover this whether they want to or not.

I don't know how much the other owners cared about his previous antics...but this can't be ignored now. It's a black eye for the league. This is not the attention those guys want, especially at this time of year.

They gotta find a way to force the old fool out man.

 

[elpablo21]

Giving Sterling the Marge Schott treatment isnt enough...

Let his old *** rot away far far away from the NBA

Nothing will happen...dude has done worse
