They are? Guess you don't know many HIV+ people. For better or worse after living in SF for awhile I met and got to know several that were open about their status. Their lives were changes, yes, but far from ruined.
How is it that when Johnson's sexual escapades are brought up and that he became HIV positive related , the next statement that always comes up is his charity work for AIDS related issues?
Just what exactly, did he do for the betterment of those afflicted BEFORE he became so? It appears that Johnson was anything but a user of others before he found a cause and only found a cause because he became HIV positive.
The fan is on high.
As previously mentioned, it generally takes something to happen to someone before they begin to champion for it.
Then again, George H.W. Bush publicly declared Magic Johnson a hero after Johnson made the announcement.

I am sure Sterling has dirt on others in the NBA as well his supporters, but to bring down the entire ship when you are the only one who is sinking is cowardice.

By this logic, unless one literally has a gun to the head, no one is forced to do anything.

Infecting someone else with the virus can be the same thing as killing them, you bet it matters.
You don't see a difference between one or one hundred? Really?
Yeah, their lives are ruined so give them a pass.
Someone says something stupid, crucify them. Someone infects others with the AIDS virus, oh well, could happen to anyone, over and over again. Is that how it works?
To my knowledge there has only been one woman to come forth with knowledge of infection, and that was some six weeks before Magic Johnson's official diagnosis. This woman, supposedly has known Johnson since college, and according to reports only had sex with Johnson once. She sued Johnson for $2M, but I am not sure if the case actually went through; Johnson's lawyer claims that the woman had a promiscuous past but she claims she did not. Shortly after this woman, known as Jane Doe, contacted Johnson, Johnson married his now wife.
There are some reports of who may have possibly infected Johnson but the where's and how's and who's regarding his infection and who, if anyone, it may have spread remain a complete mystery.
One thing is certain: considering Johnson's prominence as not only an NBA star but a top world athlete at the time, rich, and remaining rich since...why haven't there been more woman to come forward? Even to just cash in? It is possible that there are women who he infected and that these instances where "settled out of court", but considering the shear potential as a cash cow, even for an honest woman, and that this has not happened, my guess is that the HIV was between Jane Doe and Johnson with Johnson more-than-likely receiving it from her and not passing it along to anyone else.
Of course Johnson could have also lied about the number of women he slept in order to detract from "finding the source" (Jane Doe).
Bottom line is that a lot of people (including media) could have made millions from this...but no one did as far as we know.

More-than-likely not. He held a press conference to announce his diagnosis and retired from the NBA (before returning a short time later) relatively soon after he found out. Considering the shear amount of media attention, I would say he "kept it in his pants" from that point forward.
Another deflection away from Sterling's racist behavior via Magic Johnson who has absolutley nothing to do with why Sterling is in the predicament he is in now. So typical. Try to minimize the fallout from the adulterous bigot by calling into question the past indiscretions and present contributions of an innocent bystander (Magic).
The real questions is, what does Magic Johnson's past negligence have to do with the current Sterling situation and why is he constantly being pulled into the situation by Sterling and his supporters? If it was Kobe Bryant that Stiviano took the picture with, Sterling and his supporters would bring attention to Kobe's affair and the rape accusation. Anything to avert attention away from the real and obvious situation.
Off topic,but anyone think Magic cheats on his wife?
Yes!
just like most guys do, and even some women do in a 30 plus year relationships. But that's the elephant in the room and for another thread. Most power couples imo are in open relationships. This is not Donald Sterling first Rodeo into the adultery department. Only reason why Mrs. sterling is mad is because of the written/unwritten rule in Open Relationships, don't get caught in something that embarrasses The family.
Well that went out window Donald
.
^^^Why don't you ask him & the people he slept with?
