I knew that Mr. Sterling was no good but I didn’t realize his money was no good either.
That’s RIGHT! He’s already congratulated himself, so that tells you everything you need to know.
He’s made himself a pariah. Nuff said. Personally, I never heard of this old shriveled up racist jerk until this recording came to light, and then I learned of his past dastardly deeds. I assume there are lots of people like me out there too.
I don’t see where being a bozo and making racist comments
should essentially punish the ultimate recipients of his
charitable acts ie folks literally dying as they await
kidney research breakthroughs.
Accepting his dollars does not equal an endorsement

“Yes, they have more money.”
A full correction is not possible on that overbite.
Take his money! Then, when the shitstorm hits, say they will return every dollar to Sterling for every new dollar that comes in to replace it the next 30-days. (I’d bet Magic John would have cut a check that afternoon.)
The research is important, it has to be done, and it has to be funded. There is an opportunity in all disasters; UCLA had one and didn’t use it well.
