Has anybody brought up how Stern looks in all of this. Going back to the CP3 trade which he voided and instead gives this racist piece of shyt another black body for his plantation.

You guys are gullible, JVG ain't spitting anything. He's part of the media, they would love to blow this up to have something to talk about. Players should not play, give up their chance at a Championship, forget about their fans because of what some dumb, old, 80+year old racist said? Don't you think they would have more of a platform, if they won the whole thing and then said something while getting the trophy? All eyes on them? We won this for ourselves, for the fans, not our racist owner............. On live TV, millions watching around the world.

I totally disagree with the view that Sterling can't be forced to do anything. Bullfukkingshyt. This is America, and history shows that when people in power care enough, they can and will blackball or remove whomever they decide to. Problem is, people in power couldn't care half a shyt about the concerns of black people, and view us as an easily placated nuisance.

It was unheard of for Stern to veto a trade until he... Just did it. Enough owners supported him, and there was concern about the financial health of the brand, concern about the brand period. And when people pointed out the unprecedented and ridiculous nature of the veto, Stern said "basketball reasons" and ignored the fukk out of the public and media backlash, and the owners who were victimized fell the fukk back and played their positions.

When something concerns black people, we always hear talk about a calm and measured approach, reiviewing of all facts and options, due process, technicalities and complications... nikka, please.

Reminds me of when Baldwin and a cohort of black leaders met with Bobby Kennedy about the Civil Rights Movement and racial progress, and Kennedy kept telling them to be patient. Baldwin was furious, and noted the absurdity of an Irish man who was already in a position of great power preaching patience to people who had been in the country for centuries longer than the Irish. Patience? For us always, for others, no. Of course something can be done. Something can always be done. But America does not respect nikkas enough to arrest men who kill unarmed black boys, or to stop profiling blacks for the crime of simply walking down the street or driving down the road and minding their own businesses, so who's shocked? Respect has to be demanded if it won't be given on reasonable terms. And that's why I wish the players would've sat out today's game.

This part is especially disheartening. I've been cynical since Katrina and I'm always justified by these type of sad moments. I mean damn, at least during Katrina someone of note had the decency to say how the rest of us felt.

What stance would someone that doesn't work for Sterling make by not showing up for work.

It'd have damn near the same effect as me not showing up for work to protest Sterling.

Hes calling the game. Your job has nothing to do with the game. He could have said he does not feel comfortable calling the game.
