Does it help knowing the context or impact on the sport? Or is defending the racist white guy from all the PC-types more important to ya?
I dont care if he is racist or not, I am tired of racism is only committed by white people. BS.
How is his first amendment rights in jeopardy?
Wouldn't be. However, it's a tricky thing when a recording of a private (at the time) conversation between a couple becomes public and then the man's standing within the organization he owns and runs is at jeopardy.
In other words, freedom of speech does not include freedom from the consequences of what we say.
Time to boycott the NBA obviously it is very racist! Do not support it by buying the products! Do not watch the games live or on the TV.
Stop the racism! I knew this 15 years ago when i stopped watching it!
Why does this belong in the public spotlight?
If she recorded that conversation without his knowledge you do realize that is a felony correct?
Where did i defend? I did however see the left trot out a for real racist in Trayvon Martin. As he made several racist remarks before he attacked another person of different ethnicity and the left portrayed him as a victim racism. I am so not surprised at how many racist people jumped all over that and yelled for Trayvon.
But for all that it wont really matter as the weak minded cannot see that they are trying to play race to start a major conflict within the US.
6 years of race baiting and I for one am sick of it. This is all divide and conquer techniques has been nothing but division since the dictator has been "elected".
When you create a working atmosphere completely antagonistic and unsupporting toward your talent and your fan base, you can bet your butt people are clamoring for him to be gone.
The idea that the NBA itself is "racist" is sheer lunacy.
That said, Donald Sterling has long had a reputation as a complete and utter asshole and this should come as no surprise to anyone.
It is extremely racist and this is proof. that is why it needs to be Boycotted we need to stop this racism now!

Wanting his property taken for telling his girlfriend something in private that got out in public.
People have been clamoring for Sterling to be gone for damn near 30 years.
However, the NBA can't just take the team away. They can lean on him to sell and generally make his life miserable, but just seizing the team isn't an option. Sharpton's an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.
You know, it's entirely possible to be racist and simultaneously be a victim of racism.
By the way, what's the statute of limitations on how long you guys are going to continue to flog Trayvon Martin's corpse for political points?
Says the guy who called the NBA "racist" in the first few posts of the thread.
Cute how you put "elected" in quotes.
When you create a working atmosphere completely antagonistic and unsupporting toward your talent and your fan base, you can bet your butt people are clamoring for him to be gone.
Kobie we do agree on something it seems. I know you are not impressed.
But I do have just one question. Was Trayvon being racist at that time during that incident? Was trayvon attacking because he was racist and had hatred for the white cracker?
Between the two only one made racist comments.
my problem with most of this is how everyone is blind to the fact that black people are just as racist as white people.
Can just steal the guys property and take the team away. Fans are free to stop going to their games and the talent is free to stop signing contracts with the team... But you can't just steal from the guy.
Well, I wasn't there, so I don't know if Trayvon attacked because he was "being racist." If I had to guess, I'd say he attacked because he felt threatened because he was being followed.
That's all I'm saying about Trayvon Martin, since I refuse to get into another Martin/Zimmerman pissing match. Trayvon Martin has been dead for more than two years; it's time the ceaseless flogging of his corpse stopped.
They can potentially suspend him, if I am lead correctly. They can't force the man to sell, but they can put pressure on him, and many factions of the league, its hall of famers, and the fans can put as much pressure as they want on the guy. The demand that he should not be there anymore is perfectly within reason.
I'm sure they can suspend him. Marge Schott was suspended, as was Steinbrenner (if I recall correctly). But, that is different then saying he should lose his franchise. people being offended does not negate property rights.
I saw a pic of his gf. She's pretty hot, and young. My first thought was that she's only with him for his money, so it's a convenient relationship for both of them. He gets the hot young gf, she gets the status of his money. Screams dysfunction regardless which angle you view it.
-- "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)
were his comments racist? That is a matter of publicly known fact eh did say them.
