Leaked audio of Donald Sterling telling his girlfriend "Don't bring black people to my games"

[DCAllAfrican]

LOL @ Calling Double J a troll.

But he is right man. Those dudes knew Sterling was a racist

calling a land mogul who grew up in metropolitan los angeles redneck?

I thought being a redneck was a mindset.

Thread is moving wayyy too fast.
I wonder what the outcome of all this will be.
The NBA cant take away the team from him, they cant force him to sell the team.........so what happens?
I guess they can make him apologize and ban him from attending games..........but what else?

Wonder how long that conversation went? Doesnt seem over according to the last 5 minutes posted today.
Could be a 2 hour convo

All they can do is suspend him indefinitely and encourage him to sell the team

If this is Jordan verbatim, the owners have decided to destroy Sterling

I agree Bomani

 

[Platinum State]

If he has kids he should just hand them (or him/her) full ownership of the team and he should stop coming to games.
He can do what he wants though. The league can only ban him from attending games and thats it.
They cant force him to sell the team.

All those Clippers employees/players/etc. collecting checks over the years really makes me appreciate Muhammad Ali.

Jordan released a statement:

As a player he never said **** about this issue

This memo was drafted by his white intern

Some of you are so foolish, there are many other owners in our societies professional sports landscape that share Sterling's exact same views.

I pretty much guarantee that every other owner and high level league official has known Sterling was a racist for many years, yet still broke bread with the man.

So stereotypes = racist

Learn something new everyday

You should begin with reading comprehension.

the term "redneck" has several meaning but was derived from working class white farmers getting a "redneck" while working in the sun all day.

So the true meaning is a poor working class white person, which I think his point was Sterling doesnt fit in that class

They can make him sell it or they transfer his team to the d league which they can

God forbid a white man in this country be categorized poor or uneducated 

Same dudes upset with the use of redneck using "that's ghetto" any chance they get.

I think everyone understands this. It's part of the reason why Sterling has been enabled for over 30 years. It was a trickle down from other owners, to the rest of the FO, coaches, and players. NBA should have done something a long time ago, but didn't. It's a damn shame.

For what reason? My reading comprehension is Grade A.

When did Michael Jordan, as a player, not stand up when he should have? People always say that he never did this/that, but what chances did he pass up in which he could have done something?

Repped. I think it's about 50-50 a lot of people don't understand this.

No better owners than Mark Cuban and Paul Allen.

this

also as a player standing up for anything is a risky move due to the possibility of you ostracizing yourself

 

[spottieottie305]

Just read through the majority of this thread and I think we are overlooking something... Why does Donald Sterling and people like him consider black people the enemy?

What has black people done to deserve the hatred they receive? I want y'all take on it

 

[Deleted member 107398]

So your guys logic: players shouldn't boycott because it won't change much, and they should be all about $$$.
