You're right, it is about race, and it's being used to pressure the owner to sell his team to the one guy he was worried about. There's a smell factor here I'm willing to wonder about.

Well, he could've avoid the set up by not being, you know...racist.

If this was all a set up (which I doubt), I love hanging a racist by their own rope.

Bravo for getting the NBA to finally do something about a guy they KNEW was a dirtbag but it's still shady IMO.

both of them or slimy, sleezy people but it's odd how THIS is what brings him down. Not the housing discrimination he lost... not the Elgin Baylor GM suing him or all the other racist things players and coaches have known about in the past.... it's his Black/Mexican GF tricking him into expressing his hate for HER using his money to throw other Black men in his face.
I don't blame her for what she did, if I had to be around a racist piece of garbage like this guy, I would expose him to. The NBA doesn't need people like this.

The right finds it heroes in the strangest of places: Zimmerman, Snowden, Putin, Bundy. Now the defending that leads to enshrinement is beginning with Sterling. They are nothing if not predictable.

She knew she could catch him saying something racist because he probably says racist things all the time. People like Sterling need to be exposed for what they are.
Edward Snowden didn't have sex with a racist guy who was born in the Jurassic period because he was rich. She's no "hero", she's a classic gold digging sugar baby, and he's a disturbed and deluded old nut. LA indeed.

...after banging him and I'm sure being showered with his money.


Are you serious?

The guys done and rightly so, but she's no hero. This guy, despite being a complete racist, and a moron at that...has actually done a lot for minorities in how he's spent his money, which is bizzare.

What has she done? Lived an extravagant life being his sex kitten, and now exposed him.

I don't think anyone has said he isn't a piece of crap.


The thing is that she shouldn't be viewed as some sort of champion of civil rights. Her type sets feminism back a few hundred years. Move to LA and find some horny elderly rich guy to make your life easy. Blech.

You seem to be more obsessed with her sex life than the racist comments Sterling said....I wonder why.
