Clippers fans are predominantly Black and Mexican, which is kind of weird but if you really pay attention to the audio it's clear that Sterling doesn't want his GF to bring them to games because his wife probably makes fun of him over it. NBA wants to make sure they don't lose their fan base over this.

Wait a minute. You think Sterling actually cares what his wife thinks? He parades this Blatina mucama (a Latin American term for young black female housegirl/mistress) around LA and shows her off courtside despite the fact that he's married, and you really think he has any thoughts about or regard for his longtime legal spouse?

Did you actually think that one over before you posted?

Oh and surprisingly this girlfriend of his is not that good looking IMO.
she looks kind of mannish.... with all the name changes I wouldn't be surprised one bit.

NAACP honors whoever cuts a check.

Yeah, I think that was the most surprising thing. How the hell was this guy up for a lifetime achievement award with the NAACP?

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 don't understand people like you. Instead of dealing with reality, you create this alternate fantasy of what would've happened and how people would've responded if X,Y, Z had occurred. How about dealing with facts?

Here we go with the "white people are the real victims here" line. Right on cue, right on time.

HELL YEAH...

Obviously he is pissed off hearing about his GF posting photos of herself with Black men...

You think hearing about it from his wife won't sting? That probably hurts the most. She knows how he feels about Black men and knows it's his weakness. He DEFINITELY cares when his wife laughs at him over it.

His wife.... "All that money Donald and she still loves THEM..I tried to warn you"

If Zimmerman were (more than slightly) black and Trayvon were white, justice would have been done from the beginning, and the police would have actually thoroughly investigated the incident rather than gone on racist assumptions about how Trayvon "must" have done something to cause his own death. Give me a damn break.

Amazing...

..and best believe the NBA would have a problem if a Black owner said he didn't want whites at the games (even tho Sterling didn't say this). NBA ticket holders are mostly rich white people.

Isaiah Thomas got in a TON of trouble for saying Larry Bird would just be another good black basketball player if he was black.

nice try but whites aren't the victim in this story.

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.
And does that somehow change what he said? I doubt that was his first racist remark he has ever said.
