Leaked audio of Donald Sterling telling his girlfriend "Don't bring black people to my games"

To an extent Jennings is right...
In the context that Sterling was mouthing off it was beyond inappropriate and very incorrigible in speech. But people do walk around calling each other the "N" word, even though obviously the context is not quite the same and I'm half black myself saying it...
I feel than Jennings probably feels desensitized to it since the racism and words surrounding it have been thrown around for at least over a century. I don't condone racism, but I think I understand his nonchalant viewpoint on it.

Ding ding, but at the end of the day it's up to the Clippers to make a move. **** calling on the phone, take action and make a statement. Give these other men a reason to stand by you, and let's see if that **** don't shake **** up and make a difference. As many have stated Sterling ain't the only one, but those with that mindset should be the ones living in fear to expose their true views, not those under them afraid to do something about it. This is why this **** is big

They probably can't force him to step away from the team, but they can suspend him.

I completely agree with your sentiment. However, this isn't the 60's and these players are too scared to actually take a stand and risk their livelihood for equality. It's sad. Tweets and statements are cool, but those tweets arent' affecting the bottom line, and if they were strong enough, they can move the line. My whole thing has been, as a player, how are you NOT aware of Donald Sterling's track record. It has always bothered me. I know there have been some players who vowed to never play for the Clippers because of his practices. I know players want to play but some needed to do their homework a little to find this out about him. Baron Davis' comments were just....

Jordan says something?
He was probably advised to by his advisors.
He had no comment at first.
I'm sure it was written for him.

and technically it was the owners who locked the players out....
yea, i don't deny that there are people that have money that give back to their community but even with them it is hard for me to imagine them really hanging out & socializing with a varied group of people in their actual lives on real level and not on some formal level...isn't jordan the only black majority owner? i think the warriors may have a southeast asian/indian in their ownership?

I think we should see what action Adam Silver takes before any boycotts of the sort happen.
Remember, this is Silver's first big test. This decision will paint a picture of what kind of Comish he is, and is going to be. I'm hoping he does the right thing.

Some white folks love to cry "counter racism" when these situations happens.
"B-b-b-but Snoop was racist too"
Shut the hell up

I don't know who said that but that's a issue of being stupid, not race.

Did you even read through that quote? And regardless, the players make the NBA. The backlash from fining the whole league for protesting isn't something that would be worth following through.

Jennings is displating JUST the type of thinking that keeps us at the bottom fiending for scraps

He can't force him out regardless, the players of the NBA hold more power than him in this case.
The NBA wouldn't give the Clippers players any more than a slap on the wrist(harsh language or small fines at the most) for sitting out games because that would be another PR disaster.

Dear Brandon Jennings,
If you cannot properly elaborate your thought, please shut up. Thank you.
He should have kept his mouth shut. Twitter isn't the place for deep conversation. He had makings of a valid point, but he done goof'd.

Brandon Jennings is a moron. Not only do I think he's a poor basketball player with a low basketball IQ, it looks like it also matches his overall IQ.
Jennings(37%) + Greg Monroe(50%) + Andre Drummond(60%) = I'm shooting

The only feasible resolution would be Sterling paying a big fine, banned from Clippers games, host a fan appreciation night where he buys EVERY black person in attendance tickets

I did, it said that players couldn't be fined under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. They can be suspended, possibly without pay.
Not saying this is the right way to look at this situation but. Take a player who is making the league minimum playing for another team you think they are going to want to give up that check to prove a point about something that had nothing to do with them? Sady money is being valued more than human dignity/respect.
