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

[The Fukin Prophecy]

It looks like they are throwing the game but I don't know with the way Doc was reportedly yelling at them to wake up...

If you're going to throw it might as well sit out...

Amazing, it's a rare situation where the players have most of the leverage and they choose not to use it; they had the power to do something that has more significance than any title would bring, but chose to do nothing, just disappointing.

Let me add in to my last. About platform and why they should win it.

The 1968 Olympics Black Power salute was an act of protest by the African-American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City. As they turned to face their flags and hear the American national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner), they each raised a black-gloved fist and kept them raised until the anthem had finished. Smith, Carlos and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets. In his autobiography, Silent Gesture, Tommie Smith stated that the gesture was not a "Black Power" salute, but a "human rights salute". The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games.

If they lose, people are going to move on, enjoy the rest of the Playoffs.

Seems like we have a lot of puzzy ass people posting here that would rather whimper and cry. Oh boohoo, some old man is racist.

"Amazing, it's a rare situation where the players have most of the leverage and they choose not to use it; they had the power to do something that has more significance than any title would bring, but chose to do nothing, just disappointing."

Read my last post. More leverage of you win the Championship and have the whole world listening to you when you hoist the trophy. That's when you say something.

This is what annoys me about a couple of dudes in this thread talking about we need to be patient and let Silver handle it because it's only been a couple of days. fukk that. Zimmerman would've never been brought in if we would've just been "patient" and not get outspoken about it. You can't be patient for shyt in this country if you're black. This is a player's league. And for once, they have the opportunity to force the league's hands and push this dude out. They need to take it.

I'll put it this way. We have to expect a patient response from them so there's no point in blowing up over it. If the players sat out THEN you'd see some real action but we should've known that won't happen. Tuesday is when things will get interesting.

The sad thing is that the clippers are playing in Oakland, where the black panthers were found

 

[jerniebert]

Quit blaming the players. Sterling is the blame but people are on here blasting the players.

 

[Morose Polymath]

If they were going to be lethargic and so apathetic, they shoulda said fukk everything and sat out and boycotted. Hell the score would still be the same its like they aren't there mentally.

I'm sad for the players because you can tell they don't want to play.Doc c00n ass Rivers hands is all over this.

I tried to tell nikkas that Doc Rivers wasnt about that life (partly due to his home situation maybe with his white wife...and theres nothing wrong with that) but you can tell he's used to just "ignoring" shyt instead of standing up for what he needs to.

I think its too much to ask dudes to be militant about this or to put civil issues ahead of professional ones. I'm sure the league will take care of its business. I root for basketball, and good basketball, in general as someone that grew up in Queens with nothing else to do as a kid but to play ball. I know the league will handle its business the right way, whether it is by encouraging the sale of the team, punishing the owner or by sweeping it under the rug. I'll be rooting for the clippers to win this series (since they are the better team) and overcome all the bigotry and veiled racism in life that they been dealing with all their life.

reminds me of the chappelle kramer bit

The fukk did I just read

Basically the mentality of these cats nowadays.
