NBA: Sterling and ownership of the Clippers

[cwolff]

Yup. The color in question here is green. You mess with the green you're screwed.

You know it's serious when Mark Cuban gives a "No Comment" interview.

[SHAFT]

In the statement Sterling issued in his defense, he never claimed that he was unaware of the recording. He also doesn't claim that the tape is inauthentic, only that it might be, which if you think about it is a really bizarre move.

I actually believe that Sterling wanted things recorded. I also believe that he doesn't see anything wrong with his slave-master mentality. That's the way of the world to him.

It has been interesting how this story has shined a light on all the cockroaches. From the racist owner to the NAACP selling "I'm not a racist" awards. Should be fun to watch where this all goes.

Did anyone here actually listen to the recording? Is there more than one recording out there?

stop associating with blacks or bring black people to Clipper games.

I never heard him say this in the recording I listened to. In fact he doesn't even say anything bad about black people, he doesn't even tell her to stop associating with black people, he does tell her to not "broadcast" the fact that she hangs out with black people. He says he wouldn't even mind if she broadcasted the fact that she hangs out with Latin people. I guess he has this thing where since she's perceived to be white or Latin that she should only show the world that she hangs out with whites or Latins.

I'm not saying he's right and it's an ignorant and stupid thing to say, but all the stories I've heard have this guy saying he said he hates black people, he doesn't want her to hang out with black people and he doesn't want her to bring black people to his games.

Also I don't have another recording of this chick to go by but she sounds so fake in that recording. I don't know if she purposefully got into this argument because she wanted to record him or dubbed it or what but she totally sounds like she's acting. But maybe she's just a ditz and always sounds like that. As I said I don't know, I've never heard her on anything but this.

There is over 100 hours of it. We've been given edited snippets.

Never mind. Apparently I wasn't listening to the "extended" version. He does indeed say don't bring black people to my games.

I just listened to the 9+ minute clip. I can't believe he's dissing Magic Fucking Johnson! Like who wouldn't put a pic with him on their instagram. HAHA

It sounds like his big problem is that he's so worried about what his friends think. Strange to hear a billionaire sound like such a whiny little twat.

[Wrathbringer]

I can't see why anyone, no matter how obliquely, is coming to the defense of this guy. His rights are not being infringed and he faces no criminal. He has upset his little billionaire boys club and he's going to pay for it.

"Boys" club, huh? Wow, that was racist. Good thing I got it on tape, as it were. I'm offended.

He will be forced to sell the team and that will be the end of it. The NAACP won't get any real bad publicity. They've been doing this for decades and people still believe it's a good organization that cares about the "Advancement of Colored People".

Suckers.

[AnticorRifling]

So if he's not doing well with his wife did he have the GF leak the tapes so that there would be an uproar and opportunity for a quick sale so she wouldn't get the team?
