I thought freedom of speech included what we may not want to hear.

I think more needs to be done if a NBA players lets say beats his wife and she ends up with a black eye and a broken nose. That is worst than an old guy being a racist IMO and it not even close. Or how about an NBA player with multiple DUI he could kill someone . That still beats what an old guy being racist.


Google Darren sharper rape allegations if it true the LA clipper owner looks like a saint IMO not saying what he said was right BTW.

People that play or are associated with pro sports need to be held accountable and it needs to be far across the board owners to players.

Attorney General Eric Holder, white people are not protected by hate crime laws.Holder repeatedly claimed that hate crime laws are designed to protect only groups that were targeted for violence on a "historic basis," such as African-Americans, Hispanics, Jews, and gays.

What does a retired football player have to do with Donald Sterling?

Its hilarious watching some of you reach into you bag of bad Black men to make yourself feel better when a white man gets in trouble.

There was a good history of banning and suspending owners and players on one of the networks, George Steinbrenner's was suspended for 3 years because of a conviction for illegal campaign contributions, Marge Schott was suspended for a few years. Pete Rose was banned for life after gambling on games, this is the first time an owner has been handed down this type of punishment, very lenient in the past.

That is an awful thing to say...just awful and you had better watch making terrible statements like that, b/c Karma will prevale. What I'm saying is, when you wish something bad on someone, it always turns around to bite you in the butt.

What I'm saying is, she was just as bad if not worse then he is....

What he did was not right, however, bigots in this country are becoming less and less.....
there are way more people who are not race driven and I would think that others could see that.

Yes, this woman bated him, but what I find wrong about this whole thing is this....

1. There are just as many black bigots as there are white bigots, yet they can say anything they want....openly and nothing is ever said, and I'm getting pretty darn sick and tired of that.

2. What ever happened to sticks and stones....my God, yeah, Sterling is a Jerk....a huge Jerk, that no one wants to be around, but to fine him and ban him, is ridiculous...ya'll better grow a set....I'm certain, people have said their fare share about me and you, and you, and you....that is life...you cannot control what others say....and do in the privacy of their own home, this is unbelievable.

3. OK, what kind of idiot is a bigot but dates a girl who is down right beautiful, but is also several different races? What a hypocrate.

4. And here's the clincher....all of you, all of you, even the clippers, have you ever made a joke about whitie in the company of your own, or in mixed company....come on people, wake the heck up and grow a set....I mean it, this is absolutely ridiculous. Regardless of Sterlings money, do you really think people are going to want to hang out with him, and if they do, what kind of people are they?

What ever happened to the saying, "Live your life by example?"

I'm just feeling a whole lot of people had something in for this Sterling and set him up but good.

yeah he's a jerk, but to do this goes against every thing our forefathers lived and some of them died for....

This country is a freakin mess and I don't mind saying, what is good for the goose, is good for the gander!

What I mean to say is this.....let any man here, who is free of any one racist coment in his/her entire life, cast the first stone....I know I can't. I've joked around, gosh, when we were kids, we joked around with those Italian jokes, black jokes, jewish jokes....no one seems to be able to laugh at themselves any longer, it is a crazy angry corrupt world.

Can you blame Sterling? No self-respecting white guy wants to lose his girl to a black dude.
