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

[HEATHEN]

what about mayweather defending sterling?

you folks catch way way too much feelies about this audio. way too much.

i just don't understand it, and it doesn't matter, but if his hatred was that strong then why . . .

yall get the point. there's nothing to talk about already, and anything discussed is meaningless as we should now focus on what happens to the potential forced sale.

Mayweather is a business man, his comments about Sterling's hospitality reflected his motives as a business man.


Nothing more, let's be real, if Mayweather didn't have a vested interest in buying the Clippers he'd probably let Sterling what he really thought about his commentary.

And it's not about Sterling's audio, again it's the cumulative history of racism that up to this point went completely unchecked by the NBA that brought so much anger and outrage, and hence brought on the punishment.


You don't understand it............because you're going to say then "why was his girlfriend black/mexican", "why did he employ black players", "why did he hang around Floyd", and then you're going to say he can't possibly be racist if he did all those things.

If you can't understand how he's still a racist in spite of all those things then you're right, there's nothing for you to talk about. This isn't the thread for you.

so Oprah share Mayweather's feeling or anyone that is potentially trying to purchase the team?

No? Did I say that? Do you even know what Mayweather said? Mayweather said Sterling has been nothing but good to him whenever he's been around him.

Nobody else buying the team has to share that sentiment, it's business. Money talks, ******** walks. But Floyd might be angling to keep his relationship with Sterling friendly so he can keep the asking price down.


The homie discount so to speak.


Oprah doesn't obviously care to keep her relationship with Sterling friendly, she puts it like she sees it. Says he has a "plantation mentality". But she got long money so she could care less about a homie discount.


Her bank account makes Mayweather's look like lunch money.

This could for sure get ugly. Jerry Buss was one of his best friends. (R. I. P.)

Like I've said, you have to be voted to be able to buy into the NBA, and purchase one of it's teams. So it doesn't make sense that he would buy into a league where no one else shares his ideologies and viewpoints on certain things, in particular White Supremacy.

 

[monstar]

Why do people bring up Jay's medaillion and the 5% nation with out truly understanding its meaning?

I swear people take one piece and run with it.

If you want to make crazy comments without doing the research, why should I take anything you say JPEG?

This is perfect. Dig up all that old ****. It's just confirming what we already know.

5% medallion aside, did Jay-Z not have an integral role in the Barclays deal?

Did that deal not cause widespread gentrification in the area?

And did Spike Lee not scold hipsters for causing gentrification in Brooklyn?


I mean c'mon......If you're going to be critical about gentrification Spike, be critical every time it happens and toward all those who perpetuate it.


So while some of JPEGs examples might have been incorrect, that particular one was apt.

[monstar]

Wasnt speaking to the gentrification part, was speaking more to the 5% nation that I mentioned.

Folks always reference one part of there ideology without even fully understanding what it is or means.


Gentrification was bound to happen when that stadium was built smh, but it began long before even that took place.

I remember spending summers in Crown Heights and the only people not West Indian there would be the Jewish community. No everyone all races and ethnicity's live there which isnt a bad thing. Just wish people werent forced out due to price hikes and other factors.

Crazy because over here in Oakland that process has been at work for years and the traction has been miniscule at best

Floyd would never be granted ownership, simply because he has a history of betting on basketball... Legal, I know, but it they'd never let it slide.

And it's not discrimination... so don't even start.

 

[keko jones]

it's not just Floyd is Al and Golden Boy and a few others.

In addition Floyd is on record saying he doesn't have anything bad to say about Sterling. He said Sterling always was good to him, invite him over, wanted Floyd to start with him etc. So he's not about to talk bad about the man because he never experienced no hated from the man.

No? Did I say that? Do you even know what Mayweather said? Mayweather said Sterling has been nothing but good to him whenever he's been around him.

I stated what mayweather said several pages back.

I thought you was saying that he was trying to keep it friendly for the other owners to give him a chance to buy.

I see what you meant now ....

Also, I don't see why Oprah would want to co own when she can buy the team outright?

Bruh you aren't the first person that stated this here. Go read what Floyd said and you see that he addressed this issue. In addition Floyd did not break any rules or laws by being it was all legal.

Im guessing Ellison and Geffen might be more savvy when it comes to the sporting world, she doesn't strike me as an incredibly knowledgeable sports fan, so that's probably why she wants to go in with those guys.

I know it was all done legal... hence my typing "Legal, I know."

But the NBA would not let someone purchase a team who has a documented history of gambling ON NBA BASKETBALL. I heard what he said.. that he could no longer bet. But he's done it already. He can't undo that. It would be one thing if it was just football. Just baseball. Anything. JUST NOT NBA BASKETBALL.

Again, like I said, it's not discrimination, and I have no issues with Mayweather, he's one of my favorite boxers and sports personalities in general. But if you think they'd let someone who's previously bet as much as $500,000 on a single game own a team, you have no understanding of how serious the professional sports business is.

 

[Mark Antony]

If there are other owners with similar thoughts, Sterling def doesn't seem like the type to go down alone.

Not sure if it's been posted, but am I the only one who is finds it a bit troubling that this entire debacle is about to leave Donald Sterling with a major windfall? He purchased the Clippers in 1981 for $12M and now will likely sell for around $600M+. The entire "forced to sell" situation is actually working in the opposite direction of a fire sale because it's driving immense interest from a lot of deep pockets who will seek not to be outbid; leading me to believe that the $600M valuation will likely be higher. Add to the fact that the Clippers are near the apex of their popularity with CP3, Blake Griffin and Doc Rivers; this will likely continue to drive the valuation.

He doesn't want to sell the team tho.
He's already a billionaire anyways. They just want their money growing, so if that side of his supply can get stiffened, against his will, LETS GET IT DONE.

Not sure how this will grow their money and stiffen his, as Henry Kravis always said "don't congratulate us when we buy a company, congratulate us when we sell it". Buying the Clippers at a $600M+ valuation (not including the capital annually contributed to satisfy annual support cost) will likely not produce an attractive return at such a high valuation. And to the people who will reference the recent investors in the Bucks and 76ers, realize three important factors of those investments (i) these are both teams not in their prime with meaningful room to grow as far as merchandising, ticket sales, etc., (ii) the key investors saw this as a real estate play as much as an investment in a sports team (major differences in LA real estate prices vs. Milwaukee or Philadelphia) and (iii) major tax differences between these cities.

Also, as much as he may not want to sell the team to save face or because he enjoys owning a sports team, I put zero value on saying that he doesn't care because he's already a billionaire; there's a reason why billionaires are billionaires, and not being emotionally glued to an asset is a big reason why

It's America and that's what's beautiful about it. You can believe whatever you want and still have the opportunity to earn millions and even billions.

he bought the clippers in the 80's....look at how much it's worth now right?

image how much the clippers will be worth in another 34 years.... his family loses that

 

[OG44NJ]

Floyd showing interest in buying the team

was this after or before the racist rant and wife beating?

[Magic33]

Floyd doesn't have enough money to buy a team. His name shouldn't even be mentioned. I'm interested in buying the team too.

He just wants some attention for his fight.

You didn't fall for anything bro.

According to the NBA calling a referee a "****ing ******" is a 100,000 fine with no suspension, however telling you're main squeeze to not bring black people to games is a 2.5 million dollar fine and permanent ban, and possibility losing your franchise.

Some of you can't even hide it

Birds of a feather have to stick together, huh :\

**** no........tired of white people telling blacks how they should feel and act


yall ignorant bastards still toting that 1800 mentality

You constantly have them telling us what we should complain or be upset about. You would think they know us better than we do, despite many of them having no day to day interaction other than what they read, heard or saw on TV.

Why do they think their opinion matters?

because.....

 

[shoecollector75]

I am finished with this thread because it looks like Donald Sterling has joined it himself.

 

[nyc757]

fast forward to 1:48... the taping was last yr

Wait..... Floyd's a racist? I need proof
