“How can I be a racist? I employ several black guys and pay them millions of dollars!”

Sterling has gotten in trouble with the NBA before because of his overt racism.

He should be forced out as an owner after this bit of hatemongering.

DONALD STERLING’S FRIEND: What time we meeting before the game tonight, Donny?

DONALD STERLING: Oh right, yeah – Jesus, Mark, I just remembered, I totally forgot about my sister’s surprise party tonight. I’m not gonna be able to go to the game. Sorry about that. But let’s definitely take the girls out for dinner soon – actually you guys come to our place. Yeah, yeah, let’s do that. We’ll have you over to our place.

According to Justice Roberts, there is no racism in the USofA…yep, none…move along now… nothing to see here…just like there is no corruption and bribery in congress…and Bundy is a Patriot…

Just about everything on TPM this week makes it seem like we’re suddenly living in 1948.

Does this man have a reputation for being an out-of-control drunk? If not, now would be the time to establish that reputation.

Money makes the world go round and the problems go away.

Sterling has been proof of this for decades. He has, after all, the longest NBA ownership - and not by accident.

Google him to read the articles by Wikipedia and Peter Keating (ESPN 2010).

The funniest deposition in the history of law:

This has ONLY begun! Sterling is toast! Badly burned racist mofo’ toast!
What REALLY astounds me about this racist POS (well one of the things, anyway) is that he supposed to be a fairly astute business person…Money proffered by brown hands spends every bit as well as that offered by white hands. You’d think that he and his ilk would keep their crap-filled pieholes’ zipped in their own best interests, wouldn’t you? But NO… I guess that’s part of the toxicity of hate. These loathsome and depraved hatemongering racists can’t keep it to themselves.

Hmmm…Wonder if Sterling will go West and join The Welfare Ranchers’ Occupy Nevada Movement?

Tonight on FUX News: “Sean Hannity Champions Sterling’s Brave Battle Against Political Correctness.”

~Meh!~…Gawwd’…wait a second! THAT could actually happen.

Out of curiosity, what exactly can the NBA do about it? He owns the team. It isn’t like he is employed by the NBA, or anyone else. Are they just going to kick the team out of the league? That seems pretty unlikely. Even if they fine him (under what NBA rule I am not sure), it’ll be what, $10,000? He makes more money than that just sitting watching a game. I cannot see a single scenario where he has to do anything more than publicly say he is sorry. And maybe not even that.

Well, Magic Johnson said "yes"in a radio interview when asked “should the NBA force him out?”. The sports leagues are sort of franchises where the governing body has a lot of power, its not a free-for-all by any means.

Sterling has waltzed into some industrial-strength dog doody, and that smell will follow him wherever he goes, and changing shoes ain’t gonna stop that nasty stink surrounding him. The dumb-ass cracker racist won’t even be able to attend his team’s games, except in a private skybox where the public and cameras won’t see him. Still, it’s better we all know who the racists are.

David Stern, this is the guy you hitched your wagon to when you blocked the CP3 trade to Lakers and sent him to Clippers instead. And you can’t claim you didn’t know Sterling was a jerk, because Elgin Baylor had already told everyone.
