Discussion for article #222084
It wasn’t the State Farm CEO. It was Steve Stoute, CEO of the marketing firm (Translation LLC) that has State Farm as a client.
Not a big difference, but let’s keep it correct.
Mr. Soute also said he was advising all of his numerous clients to sever their relationships with the Clippers.
His firm, besides representing State Farm, represents Budweiser, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, American Eagle, Champs Sports, Kaiser Permamente, Target, and others.
So this is officially A Big Deal.
Sterling will be selling the team by the end of the week.

If everybody assume their responsibility as a team, this problem will go away. Players, fans, advertisers, consumers and the NBA.
Does this mean that his that’s-not-who-I-am-and-I’m-not-even-sure-that-was-me-on-the-tape defense is not working? Shocking!
I think he may now have to move to the Trump-inspired option #2, the old I-was-set-up-and-plus-I’m-mentally-ill defense.

Good to see some instant karma.
You ever consider the chances that libruls may have cloned him from cells in pubic hairs they got out his laundry just to get a voice match once the clone got older? That would fully explain it his being his voice on the tape with no clear memory of him having spewed bigoted black hatred. Cause he was set up by a decades via one of the oldest tricks, raised clone switcharoo, eh? See, sometimes the obvious answer (arrogant bigoted curmudgeon is fucking lying and utterly unconvincingly at that) may not be the true one!
That makes sense, thanks for the clarification. State Farm is a huge supporter of ALEC, so it was kind of counter intuitive that they’d be jumping into this issue.
