#AGonIGSoapbox: Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is a very smart man BUT you can have all the business sense and learned knowledge and still be completely ignorant. Donald Sterling is one of the wealthiest owners in the NBA and one of the more wealthy people in Southern California which means he's not just "Up" but "Up, Up". He is still a donkey. What he owns is what they don't make any more, LAND. He is probably the number one landowner in So. Cal. He basically owns ALL of San Diego(the original home of the Los Angeles Clippers), Hollywood, West Hollywood, and HALF of Beverly Hills. When you drive all over LA and you see "Peterson" signs on buildings, that's him. The Peterson Automotive Museum where BIG lost his life: Donald Sterling's. People don't realize that he owns so much the he might need the Clippers to be bad because it is a tax write off because he has to show losses somewhere. He is waaaay more wealthy than the Buss family that owns the Lakers but puts in half the money they spend on their club. Sterling was sued by the federal government because he instructed his building superintendents that ran properties in the Koreatown area to only rent to Koreans because "they pay rent on time" and to never rent to Blacks. Sterling used to bring his lady guests into the Clippers locker room after games WHILE THEY WERE CHANGING to show of his negroes while using quotes like, "Look at their beautiful Black Bodies." So now he has a half Black and Mexican GF that he doesn't want anyone to know is Black or associates with Blacks and NOW we're surprised???? I am disappointed with ESPN and the NBA in terms of the coverage of this story but they are all partners and can't have the story be the lead throughout the playoffs. So I guarantee you that John Skipper(head of ESPN) and Adam Silver(head of the NBA) are working around the clock to diffuse this bomb because they can't have their league that's SUPPOSED to be so inclusive be revealed for how exclusive it really is.
