donald sterling is a horrible person

Cassell pic is him getting ready to reveal the second-biggest bust in the room oops wrong thread.

not sure, at all, i agree with the notion that a lawsuit for diminished franchise value would be so easily and quickly dismissed. it might, but it's a very complicated analysis, to some extent turning on language in instruments that aren't publicly available.

should get a black owner, black coach from south bronx, all white players from Malibu

P Diddy brings his date to lockerroom to admire Redick's "beautiful white body"

guiltylol

Same.

Did a slight double-take at "Bucks" before I realized what he meant

bomani jones otm, but still, now some people ARE paying more attention to all the other stuff Donald Sterling did because of this, and also, I think this incident stuck much more because of his past. Like if some other owner had just made isolated racist statements IDK if the NBA would be forcing him to sell.

the spin that right-wingers are putting on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's comments about this is really disgusting to me.

I feel like I'm not even sure I want to know what spin that is.

But now I am hearing the harsh imagined sound of "KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR" as intoned by Sean Hannity ringing out over and over again.

oof that Bomani Jones rant was super OTM

the substantive angry parts, but also the "you can sleep with black men, just don't pictures of yourself with them on Instagram" clowning because I have been nonstop marveling at that since this story broke

xp NRO is a shitty stupid place but even there a few writers basically said as much as any other reasonable person would, re: both sterling and cliven bundy's comments last week

I expect to see lots of stupid internet comments about how Sterling is being deprived of his "property rights" from commenters who don't understand contracts.

have been v busy today and couldn't check in but this is deeply cool and just.

honestly proud of adam silver. in the like 20+ years I've been following the league I've become conditioned to assume the right thing being done about a given situation was an extreme rarity. the new regime is ostensibly offering hope here. and that's cool.

let's remember this is the right thing being done solely for bottom-line reasons

textbook Morbs here but gotta call bullshit due to the "solely" in there. I have no doubt that many NBA people, from Silver to other owners to dudes who parks players' cars, were for real appalled by Sterling's audio.

"fuck yes, we finally can get this racist asshole out of our association" vs "oh fuck well I guess we'll have to bow to public pressure and get rid of good ol Donald T Sterling"

someone I know confused this situation w/ the ole McCourt's one the other day and was waxing about how they wree going to sell the team when his wife owns half.

whatever ulterior motives they have, the end result was what the players wanted, and the league needed. Kudos, overall, to the ousting of the guy who once placed a Black History month ad in the paper the day after it ended.

wait forgot about Cali community property law

This was fantastic news to wake up to

Rooting for the Clippers the rest of these playoffs

whoa whoa whoa

lets not get carried away

yeah cliff paul is still a real thing lets not forget

plus LA

I'd love the Clips to finally be relevant, all for 'em.

though part of me wants a Hawks-Dallas "all 8 seed" final

so it appears that Sterling authorized the recording? Hope that's the case, cause already nauseated by people banging on about privacy and "if someone took 10 minutes of your worst phone call..." and "people should have the right to express their views in private" etc

p sure even the ten minutes of our worst telephone calls are fuckin rosy and flowery compared to his

but he was baited! by a golddigger!

wait I spoke too soon...

" It doesn'tmatter if he wanted his conversation taped. It is stll private in case you haven't figured that out.. The guy is a registered democrat so it fgures he has hidden agendas.

So even if he authorized the recording, he expected it to be private so this is all very wrong and PC GONE MAD, plus THOUGHT CRIME

dumb people who think they're smart are just the worst

t'aint nothing private when it comes to the fuckin NBA Code of Conduct...so kiss the zero rings, BITCH

besides what these Yahoo Commenters really mean is "I secretly have viewpoints similar to mr. sterling and this criticism of him feels a wee bit too close to home"

Granny, what is your guy even arguing? That Sterling is both the victim and up to no good?

well there's already a website that has pointed out that Sterling has donated lots of money to Democrats in recent years, trying to insinuate that the media is painting him as a 'stereotypical racist Republican' when he's really ONE OF YOU GUYS.

y'know even though nobody invoked anything remotely political until they brought it up but hey w/e

Link please. Everything I've read has said that he made two or three small donations a long time ago.

he is a registered republican fwiw

Oh wait I get it, Sterling approved the recording because he has hidden agendas.

seen something similar to this a bunch too:

"I’m sorry, but this just isn’t right. And where does this end?

At the rate our society is moving, the outrage mob is just going to get hungrier and hungrier. Soon, disagreeing with gay marriage or believing that homosexuality is a Biblical sin will get you the same sentence that Sterling just got. It will be said to be as bad as making racist remarks."

OMG THE HORROR!! We must nip this in the bud or else bigory of ANY form might get similar punishment!!!!

besides what these Yahoo Commenters really mean is "I secretly have viewpoints similar to mr. sterling and this criticism of him feels a wee bit too close to home"

yup

Poly ill look for it again but it was a pile of BS

that's really not necessary

seems like looking at comments on any article related to this mess would be basically a form of self-inflicted torture

also looking at comments ever about anything
