TPM this new forum doesn’t work well on FIREFOX 28.0 on a Macbook Pro! It’s terrible!
Racism, how can that be?? Didn’t the Supreme court ruling suggests that racism is a thing of the past?!

I’m thinking Mr. Sterling is going to have to find a new Girlfriend.
The media is about 3 seconds from making Mr. Sterling a victim.
Of course all black basketball players past and present think this is very sickening and bad.
Can we just put that as a given?

I never was a Jordan fan (“Republicans buy shoes, too”), but his response here is appropriate and timely.

Hopefully one who likes racists with frog-like features and a sagging gut.
Oh, and his piles of money.
I mightily agree with everyone who is condemning this racist dinosaur. However, how is it in this day of technology that nobody before mentioned his long history of racism?

Yeah, maybe one a little younger this time.
I believe she was his ex-girlfriend before this blew up
If the present girlfriend has any sense at all, she should lose his phone number.
Michael Jordan?
Michael Jordan is a conservative-minded, very apolitical guy who has made a point of not sticking his neck out on any racial-justice issues his entire adult life.
If you’ve pissed off Michael Jordan enough to call out out a racist, you’re pretty frickin’ racist!

Consider that MJ knows Sterling as a fellow owner. MJ boosted the popularity of the NBA over many truly memorable seasons. The man is a legend. MJ’s opinion is a very, very heavy blow within the NBA hierarchy.
Sterling is toast. Wealthy toast, but toast nonetheless. Sterling’s bigotry is a cancer in society, and there is no acceptable place for bigotry within an allegedly enlightened society.

Monochrome faux-liberal zombie puppets are certainly on a p.r. image maintenance mission today. It probably thinks nobody suspects. But it’s fooling nobody.
