donald sterling is a horrible person

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.

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.

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

gd Silver going ham today, loving this.

There is no shortage of different sadsack Sterling-uninterested-at-courtside jpgs for all of these stories.

On Monday, a man who answered the phone at Nehoray's law office wouldn't identify himself and said the attorney would no longer comment on the audio or Stiviano's case. He said the attorney was invoking the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, citing a statement issued by the Clippers accusing Stiviano of embezzlement.

So the leaker looks like Stiviano's lawyer?

Also, was she sued for receiving gifts? How on earth is that a crime?

looks like all teams' websites are rockin the WE ARE ONE with black background

wow

union's still pushing hard, too.

"I reached out to other players around the league and made it clear the players were ready to boycott the games if this type of action was not something that Adam Silver felt was necessary," Mason said. "We're happy with the decision but we're not content yet. We want immediate action. We want a timetable from the owners as far as when this vote is going to happen."

double wow. this is a no-joek sacrifice.

(would have been, had it come to pass)

vry cool that everyone is going all-out w/ this stuff, gl for Silver and rest of NBA.

Wonder what they do if both teams just stand around

really clips/GSW missing a golden opportunity to play the first tie game in NBA history iirc.

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

http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2014/04/donald-sterling-republican-democrat-politics-nba-racism

essentially: conservatives rush to paint sterling as a filthy democrat because of a few donations he made without finding out the facts.

hm. distorting the facts like that is very unlike conservatives.

Holy shit Bomani blacked the fuck out

many xps

Feeling disturbed thinking about Sterling's gf and what her life must be like

V. Stiviano “never wanted any harm to Donald,” Calabasas lawyer Mac Nehoray of Calabasas told The Times.

He said the 31-year-old is still reeling from the release of the recordings in which Sterling chastises her for associating with African Americans, including Magic Johnson. He said that “someone released it for money” but it wasn’t Stiviano.

“My client is devastated that this got out,” he said.

He also insisted that Stiviano and the 80-year-old Clippers owner never had a sexual or romantic relationship and descriptions of her as his mistress in the media and in a lawsuit filed by Sterling’s wife are erroneous.
