Harrier is well aware of that geographical fact, and he was not trying to insinuate that the two communities are near each other.

Harrier's grandfather grew up in Willowbrook.

What is your point.

Because if he does, he's in the wrong business. I think he was referring to Magic Johnson, he doesn't want he's little play thing hanging around Ervin.

So sick of several black people allowing a racist white person to control their emotions

I like you and your attitude period. You are mature and level headed, which we need more of in todays crazy world.

There are so many crazy people in this world, and plenty of racists to go around and then some, plenty from both races and it gets sickening.

More people should think as you do, we would be a much healthier place to live. But plenty of others, let what others say, get them down. But I do understand, his right to feel this way, but hypocritical none the less. I really don't understand his remarks and i'm white, and view what he said, as racist and don't understand since most of those on the team are black. Ok for these fantastic players to make him money, but he does not want to associate with them. Do not understand him, he is a bigot to me, but his right to feel this way. I guess some stay where the money pot is, even if it means sleeping with the devil?

And yes he certainly is a registered Democrat, most people already know this. Now turn the tables around, and you all already know this fact. If he were a registered Republician, READ MY LIPS! YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.

I liked how the team "protested" by wearing their shirts inside out.

How about send back your paycheck or refuse to play? That seems more like a protest.

So the many newspapers and online media talking about this issue are all wrong. Funny and odd, since Sterling has donated much money, to many Democrat Politicians. And most people already know this little tibit.

And what DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? A person who donates time and money to Democrat Polticians, is not a Republician. He has been donating money to these politicians way before this ignorant incident.

He donated nominal amounts to Democratic politicians in 1989 and 1991. Nothing since. And he has never been a registered Democrat.

And the "many" newspapers and online "media" are wrong.
