Quoted from joebxr


You are so naïve to believe that!
He will fade into the background and then cease to exist!
NO ONE wants to associate with him or will in the future...HE'S TOXIC!


Fade into what background?  99% of Americans never knew who the owner of the clippers was before this week.  He'll still be a billionaire when the story fades away from the public conscience.

The biggest hypocrite(s) in this isn't Sterling. Everyone already knew for a very long time what this guy was about.

It's the NBA and the NAACP.

Also, the NBA has put itself in a real bind....What if 3/4 of the owners don't vote for him to sell and Sterling doesn't want to sell?

What if they vote 'no' because, they too, have skeletons in their closets?

As far as the NAACP goes, it just goes to show that they are just a corrupt bunch of 'race hustlers' and really don't care about the advancement of 'colored people'.

Racists are pretty much free to say whatever they please.
And those who oppose racists are free to take whatever action (legal) they see fit in response.


unfortunately, being the schmuck that he is, I could really give 2 sh!ts about his private conversation....

people are paid to work and be used....that's what we all do every day...if your boss make you think differently or you
imagine something different then fine....

the schmuck will still live in his 'compound lifestyle'.....

Something interesting Mark Levin said last night that made me think....

Is this now a blanket policy?

So, if you're caught, private or public, making racist statements, no matter if you are an owner, GM, coach, player, or employee in general, you are banned for life?

MARK LEVIN???  The Mark Levin who was a Druggy Rush "yes man"?  That Mark Levin???
The Sean Hannity 'suck up', who Hannity dubbed "the great one"?  That Mark Levin?
The same Mark Levin who has a Bat $hit Crazy Right Wing radio show on WABC?  Him???
Why would anyone who is interested in the truth, care what TeaBagger Mark Levin says???

(Again... if all you hear is Right Wing BS, all you'll know is Right Wing BS.)

I watched the Clippers game last night.  I noticed the black head coach and players were still playing and cashing their multi million dollar checks signed by this racist.  I can't believe they still take his money.

about GOVERNMENT BENEFITS!

Hijack attempt... now back to the thread subject...

Latest reports on Sterling...
1. He is battling Prostate cancer and has been for years
2. Because of #1, it is expected he will litigate this... not because he thinks he will win, but because he thinks he will be dead before he exhausts legal options.
In addition, his legal team is expected to ask for extensive discovery of all present NBA owners...to expose similar behavior and other skeletons in their closet.
Because of the above, it will be interesting to see if commissioner Silver can get the 75% of owners to legally commit to expelling Sterling.
