[AUDIO] Donald Sterling - "Don't bring black people to my games" [AGREES TO SELL TEAM]

[GoldenGlove]

so because they not echoing your sentiments, using their tv appearance to parrot your thoughts they tap dancing and shiit?

These guys are players, I tend to believe they know more about what these guys are going through right now than anybody on thecoli.com.

With that said, I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect the entire team to just quit because of this. This really is a lose lose situation, unless Silver comes in and suspends dude and publicly says they are taking action on removing him from the NBA.

This will resonate big time with future FA signings, draft picks, coaching decisions, organization hiring etc... Silver has to realize that this shyt is ugly for the NBA and try his hardest to remove this guy from the league.

But yeah, people on the internet can sit here and say, "I wouldn't play for that guy" regardless of the circumstances because they weren't with them shooting in the gym

Sterling probaby sitting at home right now like

" She couldn't help it I guess...she is half black "

 

[cornercommission2k12]

The hilarious part of all this is watching TNT / espn show all the black patrons who still showed up to the next clipper home game

 

[Big Boss]

Shaq didn't say shyt

 

[Detroit Wave]

Disappointed in the responses from Shaq, Chuck and Kenny. They were all playing it safe and not trying to step on any toes. Ernie seemed surprised at their docile response.

already went in on those c00ns on twitter. They on break, im sure they see my tweets

 

[James Carter]

Chuck did say something

Yeah, Chuck was trying to say suspend him right now then begin the process of finding a way to remove him from the team. He doesnt want the league to wait while they investigate.

 

[Monoblock]

What more sad is that another brother like Stephen probally will say the same thing what Shaq, Kenny, Barkely said while you knew Skip gonna say this racist gotta go

It makes me mad why these brothers scared to speak their minds

Like I said man they dont want to stop the money from flowing. Looking back at this shyt now Kenny didnt say nothing. Teaching lesson...I cant believe he said that shyt and he was obviously holding his tongue trying not to say anything. They had to be warned before halftime of what they could and couldnt say.

 

[Brozay]

Stephen A already spoke publicly on the matter breh

 

[Grams]

Since when did black people become so p*ssyhole to the point that we're too shook to be offended about this? Shaq, Kenny

 

[Reality]

the reaction on here is really ridiculous, these players have played the entire year for themselves... not for Donald Sterling.

Now because its public knowledge that there owner is a racist, the players should be expected to negate any importance placed in their OWN success, and performance and instead boycott a game to undermine their owner...

That would just be undermining their own hard work, at no point in this season did the clippers make an organizational goal to win a championship for donald sterling... they're here to win it for themselves. The reaction here mirrors that from alot of non-basketball fans I see on twitter. To act like theyre arent numerous CEO's with similar views is the real shocking part... its like that Chris Rock joke... everywhere I go I expect cacs to be racist... that isnt going to stop my own quest for success.

The resolution to this problems comes from the NBA forcing sterling to sell the team not from the players boycotting a playoff game, and I feel theres a strong possibility of the former happening this offseason.

It blows my mind how small-minded and short-sighted people like you can be.

If every black person espoused such a narrow and self-absorbed perspective on success and advancement, those Clippers players wouldn't even be in the league right now. What the fukk is so hard to understand about that? Really?...

The NBA, Clippers fans, and Clippers players need to feel uncomfortable. This is inexcusable. Regardless of whether or not Sterling's had a reputation as a racist before, a line has to be drawn in the sand. The tape was white supremacy unplugged. You're sitting here talking about a "strong possibility" of the NBA forcing Sterling to sell the team while the Clippers players have an opportunity to make it all but certain tomorrow night. A boycott of a playoff game would be unprecedented and there is no way the NBA would be able to continue business as usual w/ Sterling. No. Way.

Sterling aside, people need to get the message loud and clear that black people in this country will not sit on our hands about things like this. Soft, individual minded apologists like yourself are part of why shyt keeps getting thrown our way.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Imagine if Sterling said "don't hang around with those fakkits, I don't want those fags around my games"?

GLAAD would have had him doing backflips. This is depressing.

This is the narrative that the players union or whoever communicates with the League Office on this problem needs to bring up. Because we all know this is the truth, the world we live in

 

[Ron Mexico]

saying they didnt speak their mind....they did, you just dont like what was said because they just didnt share these outrageous ass thoughts that yall do and folks cant accept that

shut the fukk up

 

[red222]

The league should boycott shutdown the playoffs that way every owners hurt.They force Sterling out themselves because the Commissioner wont

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

Sterling's fate is not in the player's hands though. That's up to Silver and the other owners. Why let a racist fukk up everything you've sacrificed your entire life towards? I think at some point everyone will be loud and clear on how they feel about this if they haven't already.

Now, once the season ends, handle your business, but it's not as if the players not playing is gonna lead to this massive overthrow, of the Sterling regime, because if we wanna keep it 100, it shoulda happened a while ago.

And Sterling's fate is not in his employee's hand, the commish, either
The NBA or players can't really hurt a billionare boss. But showing effort to immediately and unapologetically decide to make the ultimate non-life threatening sacrifice, will certainly resonate for decades
