I'm withholding any opinion about this mess till the "OMG can you believe it" roar dies down in the MSM.

But follow the money. Suddenly we're hearing this - Exit strategy for NBA, Donald Sterling: Sell Clippers to Magic Johnson - http://sports.yahoo.com/news/exit-st...073015142.html

Shakedown comes to mind. Just a thought.

Showing that kind of racism in the NBA is unacceptable and I hope the league deals with this as swiftly as they can. People like Sterling have no place in the NBA. I feel sorry for the players of the Clippers who are struggling with all of this when they should be focused on winning.

It's not like the recording was fabricated, but it wouldnt' surprise me if this exactly what happened.

It seems obvious that Sterling's gold digging girlfriend knew she could catch the guy mouthing off, and that it would destroy him and possibly get the team into Johnson's hands. Really crazy soap opera stuff.

why?

Do you really think Sterling is the only business owner to feel this way "in private"

Plenty of people of ALL races hold racist views towards the people they employ
