Do you think she just met him yesterday, and discovered, all of a sudden, that he's a racist, so is outing him now because she thinks it's the right thing to do?

A despicable person is a despicable person, and in that case these 2 seem made for each other.

Why would his girlfriend do this to him? What would be in it for her, especially considering this man is supposedly married to someone else?

Is it legal to tape someone without his/her consent? I have a big problem with public condemnation of private conversations, regardless of content.

nah.. it's relevant to the convo...

she is secretly recording a person she sleeps with for money...

while I have no sympathy for him you can tell he is clearly hurt by her actions. Dude sounded like he was crying for a minute

She played him...and played him well.

The intolerance displayed in this thread is truly astounding!

Oh, wait, no it isn't, it is a display of the norm in our society!

Then maybe he shouldn't have dealt with her, knowing as he must have that she was capable of betraying a confidence, however reprehensible that confidence was. Just another example of Sterling's stupidly elevated level of hubris.

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.

Who cares, does she own the Clippers?

His ex wife also owns a % of the Clippers.

More than likely she did this because it would put him in a bad light and force his hand with the team.

She is also being sued by the ex wife... more than likely there relationship was about to end. Hell, he said it on the tape. She is just doing what a good gold digging GF does...setting herself up for the next victim.

I do not like what Sterling said and find it very stupid. However if Sterling was black and said he hates white people and how he wish they did go to the games this would be a non story . No one would care and every one would laugh it off . Also seeing how 80% of the NBA is black there would not come out and say what he said was wrong and disagrees. Unless he said something about white gay people then he be in deep trouble. That is just face and you and I know NO black NBA player would come out and say a darn work and Obama would not say a word about it on TV.

Do you think the media would make just as a big deal out of this if Sterling was black? NO they would not it does not help sale papers.

It is the same thing if Zimmerman was black and trayvon martin was white . Most black people would be on Zimmerman side . Would the Miami Heat wear hoodies if trayvon martin was white? I think no way in HELL .

I'm pretty sure Donald Sterling has been a very well known scumbag for decades so this is really not that big of a surprise, but whoever is running the NAACP in LA needs to be fired for negligence. Are there really no better people in the LA area to honor?

Oh and surprisingly this girlfriend of his is not that good looking IMO.

This isn't the first time a man has been betrayed by his man parts.

You could say that about ANY man who is worth millions/billions.. 99% of the women out there will betray you if they feel they are about to get the send off.
