I love how he thinks shes white. I only heard half of it but it sounds like he doesnt want his chick being seen with black guys. He probably gets shit already since shes out of his league so his rich buddies are probably teasing him about his girl getting long dicked.
This girl clearly set the whole thing up, probably because the relationship was already starting to sour, and she needed some "insurance" once he kicked her to the curb.
One of Sterling's employees said this:
You can tell on her end that it's not even a natural conversation. She is almost acting from a script (probably one she rehearsed in her head), trying to induce him into making racist remarks for her hidden recording device.Quote:
We have heard the tape on TMZ. We do not know if it is legitimate or it has been altered. We do know that the woman on the tape -- who we believe released it to TMZ -- is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even.
Now, clearly Sterling is a racist old bastard, and I believe he really said everything we heard. She obviously knew of his racism for a long time, and figured that this was the perfect weapon to use against him if he were to ever get rid of her. She just had to induce him into saying dumb things on tape, and that's exactly what she managed to do here.
This girl is unquestionably a gold digger. Chances that this relationship would exist if he wasn't super-rich?

I don't even doubt that this chick embezzled or stole in some way. She's obviously really sleazy and sneaky.
I don't believe that the NBA should do anything about this. The guy made the remarks in his private home, and just happened to have been secretly recorded by a scheming gold digger.
Obviously he's going to suffer for these comments for the remainder of his life. His players won't like him, some of his fans won't like him, and undoubtedly some players will refuse to come play for the Clippers for as long as he's owner -- something pretty bad considering the Clippers finally becoming a contender for the first time ever.
But it would be a huge mistake for the NBA to penalize a man for making dumb statements in the privacy of his own home, supposedly with only his girlfriend within earshot.
The one thing I don't understand.
This was from a conversation on April 9th -- 17 days ago.
How is there possible a lawsuit against her for embezzlement already? Sterling clearly thought they were still in a relationship as of April 9th.
Maybe she just got served with the lawsuit in the past 2 weeks, and that's why she brought this out.
I agree that he has to have some prejudice in him but I think this is more about his ego. He has to know she fucks around on him and he's pissed that she would bring 60 percenters to his games.
Iirc his wife brought a suit against her because Sterling was giving her too much shit. This dude really is a longtime tard. For the first time in over 30 years his team is the toast of the town and he fucks it up. Too bad that if an octogenarian Jew with a bad dye job/toupee was going to go all 1950s that it wasn't Adelson.Quote:

I think hes old school (raised in a different era), not some racist monster kkk guy like people are saying.
In court im not even sure if its usable. It sounds so contrived and she is guiding him where she wants him the whole time. After hearing the tape myself, I dont think anything against sterling should happen. The tape is not valid.
She kept saying " why do u hate black people?" and hes like listen u dumb bitch " i dont hate black people" im was just raised different. "what part dont u get?" and then she starts over trying to get him to say something racist!!! anyway hes fucked, the blacks are pissed and well its too late to for him. Nba will be forced to act, its a black league after all.
If you read anything about his history, this stuff is nothing compared to the actual racist stuff he has done with his housing units, etc. but yeah, he's just "old school" lolQuote:

Donald Sterling clearly is a racist.
The girl set him up and is a gold digger. Sterling probably is well aware of the taped conversation law so he wasn't going to pay that bitch a dime for of "hush" money.
LOL @ Sterling owning a team in a league that is dominated by African Americans. This guy should be owning a Hockey team imo over Basketball unless he is against everyone who isn't a White American.
As a business owner you shouldn't care what race comes to the games since money is money.
Mr. Sterling career and reputation now hitting the mainstream is now fried. I hate to say this because of the Clippers players but people should just stop coming to Clippers games now and not pad this fuckers wallet anymore.
What can the NBA do about all of this? Force Sterling to sell the team? Sue him for slander and tarnishing the NBA product which could perhaps be so large it will recoup whatever he makes off the team? I'm all for that in a way just so Sterling don't see a dime but would hope the NBA would take that money and donate it to charity.
Actually, its a criminal offense according to the California Anti Eavesdropping law: Section 631 of the California Penal Code...Police have been using this code section to justify stopping citizens from filming of police actions...Quote:

not sure how low you have to be on the IQ scale to think he's not racist, but you're well on your way ddjgQuote:
In August 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Sterling for housing discrimination in using race as a factor in filling some of his apartment buildings. The suit charged that Sterling refused to rent to non-Koreans in the Koreatown neighborhood and to African Americans in Beverly Hills.[12] The suit alleges Sterling once said he did not like to rent to Hispanics because they "smoke, drink and just hang around the building," and that "Black tenants smell and attract vermin."[12] In November 2009, ESPN reported that Sterling agreed to pay a fine of $2.73 million to settle claims brought by the Justice Department and Davin Day of Newport Beach that he engaged in discriminatory rental practices against Hispanics, blacks, and families with children
Sterling is a composite caricature of slime and sleaze, from appearance to quotes to lawsuits to extramarital affairs etc.

It only matters now because this leaked during the playoffs and the Clippers are good.
http://deadspin.com/donald-sterlings...-is-1568440657
LOL at sending your wife.
Apparently the conversation between Sterling and his mistress is around an hour long. He also doesn't seem to like "Black Jews".
The best part of this whole story is listening to Charles barkley opinion that his players should quit and he should be suspended. Yes the same Charles Barkley that openly said he doesnt like white people. His white wife must have been an exception.
As far as him being racist stfu. We all have prejudices we just dont have them outed to the media.
News flash to the world everyone is a racist in some way. The double standard shit needs to stop although it wont because the jewish media loves this shit. They eat it up when its white vs black and totally ignore it when its vice versa.
I saw something funny on tv yesterday. They said blacks want race taken off of college applications. I agree with them 100%. They can stop getting scholarships because of the color of their skin. Once they realize every fuckin form of college financial help is geared towards them they might change their mind on the subject.

"While ignoring my suggestions and isolating me from decisions customarily reserved for general managers, the Clippers attempted to place the blame for the team’s failures on me," Baylor said in the declaration. "During this same period, players Sam Cassell, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette complained to me that DONALD STERLING would bring women into the locker room after games, while the players were showering, and make comments such as, 'Look at those beautiful black bodies.' I brought this to Sterling’s attention, but he continued to bring women into the locker room."

And here's a great article from deadspin
http://deadspin.com/your-complete-qu...erl-1568047212
I'm going to guess they will suspend him for the playoffs and try to find a way to force him into selling the team when the season is over.
It's not just this incident, it's about the last 3 decades.
So when do the cops lock this chick up on a wiretapping charge?
I mean... the more you google this guy the funnier the shit gets.
That's too bad, now that this thing has gone public, he will be forced to issue a fake apology.
If the L.A. Clippers home games were "n-word free", I might actually consider going to their games.
They should create new team uniforms, so the players look like members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
:applause
lol at the attempts at rationalizing this ITT. Anyone paying attention can clearly see that Sterling is a creepy racist slimeball. According to Haralabob, Sterling's antics have been common knowledge within NBA circles for some time, and it was surprising when people like Doc Rivers and Chris Paul agreed to join his team.
But I'm sure this will all blow over and that he's really a nice old man at heart. Just like sweet old Marge Schott.

Sponsorships are already leaving the Clippers. This is how it begins. Their are so many ways to make to come back at him which start with financial choices these sponsors make and hopefully fans who go to the games will refuse to by refreshments,etc...
I can see people going who paid for seats or are just beloved fans of the team itself who lived through the struggles attending the games but it would be nice if they came in with a record amount of signs regarding this matter and boycott buying refreshments,etc...
These sponsorships are important with the banners in the stadium and elsewhere that pay big money for association to the team. A lot of times whenever one party does something to tarnish the others reputation they can just pull out. What if the local cable affiliate who covers Clippers games is able to say "Sterling needs to go otherwise we won't be airing these games on TV anymore". If they are in their rights to do this then nobody else is going to pickup this team and that money is so huge it's another way of forcing Sterling to sell the team before it loses way more value.

ive known about Sterling for a long long time back when the clips played at the shit la sports arena. Yes i know he has had race issues in the past.... Its my opinion that it has more to do with how he was raised and how he thinks others percieve him than him being an outright kkk racist hater. He said it 10 times, i dont care what u do with blacks just dont broadcast it to the world!! if he was a real racist he wouldnt let his girl hang out or associate with blacks in private OR in public. If i was racist billionaire i would tell my side piece to not associate with blacks whatsoever private/pulbic or u can fckn beat it. As for my iq come say that to my face, and whatever iq u have will go down a couple notches after i smash your face in. LOL message boards. smh.
The thing I hated most about Marge Schott wasn't her open anti-Semitism, but that she had the nerve to name her dog "Schottzie". That was unforgivable.Quote:

I still vividly remember this SI cover, as she kind of resembled one of my grandmothers and the combination of smoking/death eyes actually scared me.
Regarding his behavior of not wanting to rent to blacks in Koreatown, that was probably more cold business practices than outright racism.
Koreans in LA don't like black people, and the black people in LA don't like the Koreans. This was made even worse by the LA riots in 1992.
Sterling probably (correctly) assumed that some Koreans would move out if blacks moved into his buildings, so he didn't want that.
I'm not saying it's right, and I agree that such a policy is racist, but I believe he did that more to pacify his existing Korean tenants than because he hated black people.
With that said, I do believe the guy is racist and a general sleazeball, but he seems to belong to the "the blacks and whites should be separate from one another" 1950s-type racism, rather than "I hate blacks and wish they were all sent back to Africa" kind of racism that is prevalent among white supremacists and other hardcore hate groups.
The fact that he's married (something I didn't realize when this story first broke) is also being glossed over, and is also pretty bad. It's one thing for an old, rich bastard to take a young trophy girlfriend (like James Woods), but another altogether to publicly attend basketball games with your gold-digger girlfriend 50 years your junior, while your wife has to stand by and take it. What an asshole.
He's also a terrible sports owner. The Clippers were so awful for so long because he was ridiculously cheap. He realized that a certain subset of Los Angeles area NBA fans hated the Lakers, and would attend Clippers games regardless of how terrible the team was. Clippers games also were much cheaper than Lakers games, so he also attracted the demographic of people who couldn't afford Lakers games.
Basically, the guy realized that you can run a highly profitable NBA team by just keeping a ridiculously low payroll, so that's what he did.
They also played in a HORRIBLE stadium (the LA Sports Arena) for many years, until Staples Center was built. Sterling was frequently criticized for not caring about the dilapidated nature of the Sports Arena.
Then you have this stupid fuck on the other end of the spectrum. Larry Johnson wants an all black league. He is an exec with the Knicks but I guarantee there will not be a fuck given about what he said.
http://nypost.com/2014/04/27/knicks-...-black-league/
Quote:
On Saturday night, Johnson tweeted: “Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!’’
The initial indication was Johnson was calling for an all-African-American league complete with black ownership. It wasn’t the first time Johnson, who is black, concerned himself with the fact the NBA’s ownership is mostly white while its players are mostly black.
Quote:
During the 1999 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs, Johnson caused a stir by saying: “We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this [Knicks] team.”
When asked at the time why he referred to his teammates as slaves, Johnson said: “I’ve got to explain that to you? We don’t go with the mainstream.’’
