Yeah I agree. It seems farfetched to consider her a victim. It's not like he beat her up, I'm sure that would of come out already.

It should be clear she was in it for the money. She knew what she was doing. She was going to get cutoff financial so wanted to 'get even' with him.

Too late, LA city council members are already calling for a full investigation and public hearings on the rants of a dbag. Of course no mention of possible wiretap violations.

Great....another thing to waste tax payer money and time on! GRRRR

I am tired of this city council wasting time and money on all kinds of BS instead of fixing the real problems in this city!

Los Angeles City Councilman Bernard C. Parks and his staff are drafting an official city resolution to condemn racist remarks attributed to Clippers owner Donald Sterling and push the NBA to make “appropriate sanctions.”[LEFT]

How much time and MONEY is this going to cost!

Does the First Amendment mean anyone can say anything at any time? No.

Freedom of Speech is about the GOVERNMENT not infringing on your right to express your beliefs and opinions. It does not mean everyone has to allow you to speak freely. A company is allowed to discipline if they find the speech to be offensive. Why? Because a company is not the government. Even though it isn't "illegal", he can still be held accountable for what he said.

Read up on the first amendment, because you know nothing about it.

EDIT: After reading your other comments in this post, it seems you know very little in general.

Seriously bro, read up on the first amendment, because you know nothing about it.
Yes, then enter a giant lawsuit.

Yes, I understand the first amendment and the concept that the NBA as non government entity can fine him or punish him in other ways.

Even if they do fine him , he STILL wouldn't be breaking the LAW . People are treating this as if they are criminal allegations and they are not.

Well the GOVERNMENT (city council) now wants to get involved in this . Bernard Parks has said this is something the city council should spend (waste) time on. Do you think this is a good idea?

Now tell me again about how I know little.

Seems like an uncalled for insult out of nowhere.

I agree with you. This is nothing but pandering. The only law broken was by V Stiavian by taping a conversation without knowledge of all participants.

As an aside, I am not sure V Stiavian is male or female. Doesn't really matter, just curious

I am not defending Sterling but he did not yell fire in a crowded theater. He was having what he thought was a private conversation with his mistress or girlfriend or whatever you want to call her.

If the Clippers were owned by the city or if the Staples Center was owned by the city then by all means the city council should be all over the case.

As it stands now, I see nothing wrong with a symbolic resolution denouncing the man. But this should be mostly up to the NBA and I hope they sock it to him. Moreover, I really think the Player's Association and the Clipper players need to consider sticking it to Sterling. Maybe they refuse to play for him next season if he is still around....

LOL. Pretty sure she's a she, but definitely a unique looking individual.

If my theory is correct, I wonder if the LACO DA would have the heuvos to prosecute?
Interesting theory.
