Doc was asked if he knew of Sterling's racist past when he signed on.."Really didn't know a lot about that''..how come? it was all public

I've always viewed the Mafia as a crude but insightful model for how institutions/powerful groups work. No, you cannot just take the Clippers away without repercussions. But these other owners in this thing of theirs are all powerful, wealthy men who want, above all else, "to provide for their families." And as such, anything that bring undue and unflattering attention to the family gets dealt with. They can't take the Clippers, but they damn sure are well versed in the language of making it unpleasant for Sterling to maintain ownership of the Clippers. When push comes to shove, a league of powerful men with lawyers on deck and influence to spare trumps one solitary fukktard. If they want him out, best believe they can get him the fukk out,

I can't imagine that they are throwing the game, it's just that the reality that they are really some c00ns is setting in and it's probably fukking with their mental.
That "throw our jersey down on the floor, yeahhhhhH!" idea sounded a lot better in the locker room when they were thinking in a vacuum and ended up looking pretty stupid on court.
Why throw the game, do the jersey shyt, etc. when it was completely understandable to not play at all?
They aren't making the Warriors hit those shots. The Warriors are doing it themselves.
Nah. These boys thought it was gonna feel one way when they stepped on that court, but it really feels the other way. Idiots.

I don't think people like you will ever get it, winning benefits the owner, period, they could make whatever statement they want and still have to hand him the trophy, meanwhile any meaningful protest they would have been talked about years later and had an impact to Sterling ASAP. Falling in line is the worst thing that they should have done and you see it in the play of the team. Somethings are bigger than money, a trophy, a game, but white people know black people as a whole don't realize that.
So b/c no one voted him in people think the league has no responsibility for this shyt? Didn't Stern intervene in that trade with CP3 and pretty much make him go to the Clips?
You're an idiot. Go read my most recent when I talked about - 1968 Olympics Black Power salute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I swear, we have a bunch of Checkers thinking types posting. Where are you going to have the biggest platform to say something? A little common sense. Win the Championship for yourself, for the fans, call out the owner when hoisting the trophy. Just like winning the Gold Medal, that's where you make a statement. That's when you have the most eyes on you.
You would rather them bytch out and take a beating? Let some old racist man kill your dreams?

I feel you. That takes time though. Way more than 48 hours.
I think I'm about to play Battlefield 4. I can't watch this shyt.
I turned to see if they would sit out, but I'm watching this and they don't want to play. It's clearly obvious....and I find myself cheering for them a little bit. Basically no one is on their fukking side. NONE of us know what they're going through. There's cats on here talking about you quit because of your racist manager, but that ain't even close to the same thing you're asking them to do.
It is INFURIATING to me that cats here are invoking Ali ESPECIALLY when involving race. He had no problem calling black gorilla or uncle tom for the sake of entertainment so shut the fukk up about him and his damn principles. Jeff Van Gundy also needs to shut the entire fukk up as there's plenty of other examples that we can draw from where black athletes faced overwhelming racism and kept playing. Stop pontificating as if this is some great insult to black society because they're playing. I wanted them to sit. I wanted them to sit down and flip off every camera that came near them, but if they didn't they shouldn't be seen as c00ns or whatever else insult you think is cool to call them.
Breh, I won't hold that neg rep against youive quit a job because of a racist manager.
And I don't want to diminish what you did, but it only affected two people, you and maybe your racist manager. What statement was made? Did you organize a boycott consisting of all employees at your job? Did you write letters to your HR department? Did you contact local media outlets? Does it frustrate you that someone that wasn't in your shoes (me) is judging your response to your unique situation? Personally, I think the Clippers players missed an opportunity to fully utilize that moment and make a statement, but I'm not going to sit here calling them c00ns and slaves and saying what they should've done. Internet nikkas are way too comfortable doing shyt like that.

No. CP3 is a Clipper because the Clippers made the best offer. CP3 basketball reasons happened because Stern acted as OWNER of the Hornets. All Stern did was block the trade to the Lakers.
