Am I the only person who reads this like a ranting lunatic on a street corner?
anyway I think we pretty much have to hope the clippers win now. Imagine how awkward it would be if the owner comes down for the trophy celebration. lololol.
my thoughts on this situation is that what he said is obviously racist, and kinda fucking weird. He basically said black people are fine, and that people like magic johnson should be admired, just not publicly.
BUT I really hate all this gotcha bullshit the media does now. Yeah, he's a wrinkly 80 year old billionaire, no fucking shit he's racist. big surprise there.
Also annoying how everyone tries to level up their "not a racist" skillset by trying to get one guy to step down and calling it a day. I just hate people thinking they can make some meaningful difference and that by sterling stepping down that somehow conquers racism. It doesn't, it just brings it more underground.
I personally would just like him to be like "lol guys, sorry I own the fucking team you can't do shit to me" and just be done with it.

You can't much more underground than (what was thought was) a private phone conversation.
As far as him owning the team he is one of the worst and cheapest owners in recent sports history. However he did have Elgin Baylor as his GM at a time when there was only one other black GM in basketball and has hired a number of black head coaches. My high school buddy and teammate who is black is the team's head trainer. The complaint is he's willing to use black people to make him money but as his comments show he doesn't feel them worthy of attending the games or being seen with his GF.

Here's what someone else wrote about her. I've yet to see anyone write anything positive about this woman and her actions here (this isn't letting Sterling off the hook but just speaking about this woman).
""But someone who’s going to be around for decades (unless one of her plastic surgery procedures goes badly) is the parasite I mentioned earlier as a whore. And with that I apologize to women that actually profit from selling their bodies for sex. I’m so relieved no one is making her out to be anything more than… well a whore. She didn’t make this tape for any other reason than profit and she played him beautifully. Those questions were perfectly set up and I wonder how many pills deep he was in the day to fall for it. Cause you can be a raciest and billionaire, but you can’t be a stupid billionaire.
She was on her way out and she saw this as a huge payday and it might have been.. Jack Kent Cook’s wife apparently got 25 million for such a tape. In the meantime she did pretty well for a 31 year old rolling around with an 81 year old. Their romance began at a SuperBowl party in South Beach (don't judge). He bought her a Ferrari, a Range Rover, two Bentleys (cause you need a second) and lets not forgot a modest 1.8 million dollar condo. And brace yourself… all this was bought illegally through his company and not with his own money. So hopefully soon she’ll be broke and living with The Kardashians.""

The Ho is in deep doodoo.....capisce? PS, name calling has never worked and will not ever work now....so I guess you lose to The Man
California PENAL CODE
SECTION 630-638
630. The Legislature hereby declares that advances in science and
technology have led to the development of new devices and techniques
for the purpose of eavesdropping upon private communications and that
the invasion of privacy resulting from the continual and increasing
use of such devices and techniques has created a serious threat to
the free exercise of personal liberties and cannot be tolerated in a
free and civilized society.
The Legislature by this chapter intends to protect the right of
privacy of the people of this state.
The Legislature recognizes that law enforcement agencies have a
legitimate need to employ modern listening devices and techniques in
the investigation of criminal conduct and the apprehension of
lawbreakers. Therefore, it is not the intent of the Legislature to
place greater restraints on the use of listening devices and
techniques by law enforcement agencies than existed prior to the
effective date of this chapter.
632. (a) Every person who, intentionally and without the consent of
all parties to a confidential communication, by means of any
electronic amplifying or recording device, eavesdrops upon or records
the confidential communication, whether the communication is carried
on among the parties in the presence of one another or by means of a
telegraph, telephone, or other device, except a radio, shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars
($2,500), or imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year,
or in the state prison, or by both that fine and imprisonment. If the
person has previously been convicted of a violation of this section
or Section 631, 632.5, 632.6, 632.7, or 636, the person shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), by
imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or in the
state prison, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
(b) The term "person" includes an individual, business
association, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or
other legal entity, and an individual acting or purporting to act for
or on behalf of any government or subdivision thereof, whether
federal, state, or local, but excludes an individual known by all
parties to a confidential communication to be overhearing or
recording the communication.
(c) The term "confidential communication" includes any
communication carried on in circumstances as may reasonably indicate
that any party to the communication desires it to be confined to the
parties thereto, but excludes a communication made in a public
gathering or in any legislative, judicial, executive or
administrative proceeding open to the public, or in any other
circumstance in which the parties to the communication may reasonably
expect that the communication may be overheard or recorded.
(d) Except as proof in an action or prosecution for violation of
this section, no evidence obtained as a result of eavesdropping upon
or recording a confidential communication in violation of this
section shall be admissible in any judicial, administrative,
legislative, or other proceeding.
(e) This section does not apply (1) to any public utility engaged
in the business of providing communications services and facilities,
or to the officers, employees or agents thereof, where the acts
otherwise prohibited by this section are for the purpose of
construction, maintenance, conduct or operation of the services and
facilities of the public utility, or (2) to the use of any
instrument, equipment, facility, or service furnished and used
pursuant to the tariffs of a public utility, or (3) to any telephonic
communication system used for communication exclusively within a
state, county, city and county, or city correctional facility.
(f) This section does not apply to the use of hearing aids and
similar devices, by persons afflicted with impaired hearing, for the
purpose of overcoming the impairment to permit the hearing of sounds
ordinarily audible to the human ear.

Well, yes there is a link where you could look it up if you knew certain personal details which would get them sued if they published them. Contributions to other parties are common eithdr for bet hedging or if that party controls where your interests lie. Wall Street does it all the time.

You need his last name, date of birth, house number on street (not the street name) and zip code. Hardly personal information. And the screen shot Mother Jones cites as proof doesn't have a single identifier, not even his last name. I'm calling bullshit on this for now.
Besides, this guy got a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP. They were planning on giving him a second one until this shit surfaced. Do you honestly think a liberal organization such as that would award a Republican?
Racism is a liberal thing. Liberals want to control people and putting us all into racial groups helps them do that.

Talk radio was having a discussion about this, earlier today, and a caller brought up a good point.
Since this was said during a private conversation, it raises a good question.
He's being condemned, by the NBA and the public, for what was said in private.
Without supporting him, in any way, what happened to his right of free speech?

Our understanding so far is that the woman illegally taped their conversations although I saw someone say she was supposedly taping him for his memoirs or something. The guy's not going to be arrested or anything but when you own a team in a league with 75% black players and have the history with racial incidents he does and it is on tape saying what he said how is there not going to be outrage?

I heard that some of his players knew he was like this and yet they kept playing for him!!
My comment wasn't about outrage; but what about his right of free speech?
Shouldn't the free market determine what should be done?
If the teams fans find his comments so offensive, then shouldn't they stay away from the games?

Yes, the league overlooked a lot in the past with him. There were numerous firms today that announced they were cutting off their sponsorships of the team. There have been calls for fans to boycott Game 5 tomorrow night. And the league has a revenue sharing system so this affects everyone. The market is speaking and it's not good news for Sterling.
dipshit fans. lol. the playoff tickets have already been bought and sold for months. their boycott will do nothing.
boycott as far as tickets and going to the game is concerned* sponsorships obv have an effect.
