Goes to show anyone will sell their soul for some shekels.
He just wasn't vetted properly, it's not like he walked in with a white pointy hat with a sack of cash. The Jewish people have predominately been charitable to African American causes, they had no reason to be suspicious of a Jewish NBA owner who choose the company of a woman of color.

He gave them fucking money and they looked the other way... it's that simple. And it's not just the local chapter that's had issues, a few years back one or more of the NCAA bigwigs were in a lot bigger trouble, I don't recall why, but just like any public or private organization.... they are not like Caesar's wife*.

*I know Bender knows what I mean by that, you might have to go look that up, if not ask him to explain it to you.

Btw... I've heard or read my share of the tapes/transcripts and he didn't say he was better than anyone or use any slurs. Anyone with common sense and not thinking with their hurt feeling knows what he meant. He's an old coot with some nice arm candy and runs in circles most of us only dream about. He was embarrassed his arm candy was flaunting her relationships (or just photo op's) in public and it made him look bad. Unfortunately for him she posed with a black guy and not a white or asian or anything else who had Magic Johnson's "cocks-man" reputation. And he clearly said she could have sex with them (which leads anyone to think he wasn't fucking her), just not be seen in public or posted to her webpages. He didn't tell her not to bring blacks (or minorities as he put it) to the game cause he didn't want blacks at the games or thought them inferior... he said it cause he didn't want HER BEING SEEN WITH THEM BECAUSE IT EMBARRASSED HIM.

Question... If she had posted a pic with or taken Leo DiCapprio to the game, do you think she'd have recorded and released that conversation? I think he would have been pissed she was sitting in HIS SEATS with anyone who wasn't him, her tastes just happens to be black.

Now.. that doesn't mean he isn't racist or hasn't done or said racist shit in the past cause according to court records and plenty of witnesses he has. But this was not one of those occasions.

I know he paid his way for that award .... but ... he did hire a black GM and has a blak head coach. How many NBA franchises have neither and have NEVER had either???

Yes he is a racist ... but there is probably much worse that we don't knw about.

If course there are other racist, I believe he is the worst kind because he's unapologically arrogant and in a deep psychosis wirh his false sense of superiority. He believes the people come to the games and the players own things because he exists when the truth is he is more replaceable then the worst player in the NBA. Sociopath narcissistic hate filled obscenely wealthy people are common but person athletically talented and charismatic enough to qualify let alone excel in any professional sports are exceptional. It's obvious he's insane, the girl is just a hustler but he's out of his mind.

I don't think he has any delusions that he's the reason people come to a game or that players are successful only because of him. As as far as any narcissist attitudes ... Spike Lee at a Knick game is way more guilty of that than Sterling. And I'll tell you this, spike has been overheard many time telling black players how they could or should drive on "that cracker" all day. Matter of tact there's a clip on the internet of Spike saying it and Tracy Morgan sitting a few seats away overhearing it, cracking up and then mimicking Spike by repeating it.

Here's the thing... In the private sector where freedom of speech doesn't apply, you can't tell your fake trophy GF to not take blacks to your teams games, but according to the Supreme Court you can march down Main Street USA (like those in Skokie Illinois) with hoods on your heads and scream about niggers and jews all you want. This is not a free speech issue (i saw someone mention that).... It's not the Govt regulating speech. It's sponsors, business partners and the public.

Ozzy, I know where free speech is applied and it is the court of public opinion that is reacting, the first doesn't protect you from that and he's has to take the consequences. I do think those tapes should have never been recorded, I wouldn't want to he recorded in the privacy of my home but overblown ego set him up. He is delusional to think a young attractive woman would spend 4 years of her life with him and give the compensation back, he did this all to himself. He's worth tripe digit millions, those gifts are write off to a man if his wealth. All this nonsense started with his greed, like other entitlement minded über wealthy he has a twisted view on paying for labor.

Spike Lee is known to be self hating and grumpy, he went off on Tyler Perry using the word "coonery" but he get the "same as you" pass. There is no equivalent in the NBA to Sterling, he's pretty much despised throughout the whole industry.

"You just, do I know? I support them and give them food and clothes and cars and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? Do I know that I have – who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners that created the league?"

Ozzy, those words seem to come from a delusional person to me. He doesn't seem to grasp the reality that those players work and earn their living, he believes he supports them like they are his dependents. He thinks he's irreplaceable and there is only 30 owners because they are something special about them beyond their wallets. I don't understand how you can deny his delusion regarding his position in the team and the sport, it's obvious he believes the whole team exists because he does which is nuts.

I'm not arguing that he's everything you accuse him of. If those depositions from his past court cases are true he's a lot more a racist than a guy telling his girlfriend not to associate with black people. But he's also no different than just about every other owner of a professional sports team or billionaire or elitest in this country. They all play or have played at country clubs that didn't (and some still don't) allow blacks or jews. Some of them don't see a black they're entire day unless they're in the front seat with a chauffeurs caps on. They're all out of touch with reality (you may call it delusional) and probably couldn't tell you the price of a gal of milk, a car or a middle class house. But for everything you have to say about him you should say it about most of the rest of world including some of those you hail because I can guarantee you that 90% of the world has said what he did or worse about some race of people.

But my problem is with the selective enforcement by the powers that be... not what the imbecile public thinks. Lets start with NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Where was Silver when the NBA allowed P Diddy, Snoop Dog and Busta Rhymes to perform at the 2014 NBA All Star game? Wanna count the times those three have uttered the words Nigga, Ho and Bitches in their lifetimes. How about when Kendrick Lamar sang a song called "Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe" during the Slam Dunk contest a few months ago. And where was Silver when Chris Brown not only gets gifted court side seats to almost every Laker game but does publicity for the NBA by shilling their jerseys. The guy only beat a woman within an inch of her life. Where's the outrage over that... certainly not from you of all people who rails on just about any republican as a woman hater. And then theres President Obama who thought he should chime in about Sterling... and on the same fucking day he was on a stage sucking the dick of one of the worlds biggest racists and hate mongers.... Al Sharpton. The list of hypocrites is endless but I'll stop here or I'd be using up all Benders bandwidth.


PS... You got the part about him asking his former whore for his gifts back. That's not how it went down. It was his wife who legally owns half of whatever he gave the pig who was suing her for return of the property and when old Donald was unable to corral his wife the bitch made tapes to extort her way out of the lawsuit.

Ozzy, I agree there is an unequal divide with professional sports ownership and this horrible story is bringing more attention to it. I'm sure some buy teams for the love of the sport and some buy for more sinister reasons. Most wealthy people are delusional, some say things more outrageous then Sterling especially about the poor but they are so removed from everyday society they don't have to deal with thebacklash of a specific community. I think it was hit a nerve with the NBA was what he said about his providing for the players rather then random racism if you want to compare. I found his plantation mentality most disturbing myself, he thinks of himself as some big sugar daddy that wields this imaginary control, he doesn't seem to understand his players (and mistress) are not his property or extensions of himself.

This is a sports thread as you well know so I'll just make one open disagreement that Al Sharpton isn't a racist. If you are referring to the riducoulous theory of reverse racism I don't believe in it, I think it's a stupid belief white people made up because they fear losing supremacy. Sterling himself thinks he's one if them but Jewish people are despised as much as minorities, they are just toning down the rhetoric because they want Israel for their second coming.

Al Sharpton is as much a racist as he is black. I don't know what rock you've been living under for the last 3 decades, but ever since he slandered an innocent white police officer who committed suicide as a result of Al accusing him of a rape he didn't commit in the headlines for weeks, he's been a race baiter and a bigot. Anyone whose entire life and fame has come from over-analyzing back and white and making everything a black and white issue..... is a fucking racist. He's also an extortionist (or are you the least bit curious how a preacher with no congregation or other means of support can afford $10,000 suits, limo's and multi-million dollar town houses and vacation homes) which he learned from the king racist himself... Jessie Jackson, who aside from calling NYC Hymie-Town in the 80's successfully extorted Anheuser-Busch in the 90's into giving his son a beer distributorship in Chicago. He did the same to Coca Cola 10 years earlier when his brother (or maybe it was another son?) got one from Coke or else Jessie would hold a boycott of Coke products. But that's Jessie... Al is a light weight compared to him... Sort of like comparring Donald Sterling to the Grand Dragon of the KKK. This is not going to be another case of Emily re-writing history we here have all lived thru. We've all heard Al spout shit about white people, Jews, Koreans and just about anyone who wasn't black like him. Guess you don't recall fat Al standing in front of a Korean deli about 20 years ago spouting anti-Asian shit as fast as the press could report it, or whipping a neighborhood into a racist antisemitic frenzy over a car accident that resulted in a gang of black youths killing a hassidic Jew. A couple of nice Korean American citizens who were stripped of their rights by Al and his pal in Gracie Mansion (David Dinkins who you've often praised) who ordered the NYPD to back off and NOT UPHOLD THE LAW and force an illegally gathered crowd to disperse from the premises, and pulling the police off the streets of Crown Hights while it became open season on Jews...... and you wonder how Rudy beat Dinkins in their rematch election.


Btw... Sterling went public today. He and his wife stated they have no intention of selling the team and that in this country you can't take someones business away or force them to sell their property because you don't like what they said. That means this is headed for court where he will win and drag some hypocrites thru the gutter if they choose to go that futile route.

Sterling is 10x the man Sharpton is, and Sterling is shit so what does that make Sharpton. And Ozzy you left rat off of his resume.

So he holds onto the team, are the players going to refuse to take the court and declare themselves free agents? Will other teams refuse to play? Will Silver let them? Will fans show up for the games. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
 
#35
To be fair to Al I wouldn't condemn him for helping law enforcement and I thought it was incredibly fucked up that a major newspaper called him (or anyone) a rat for doing so. It certainly won't encourage others to step up as a witness and/or and help LE with a criminal investigation if they face being outed on the front page as a rat.

But like Emily, they didn't get their story straight either. Al wasn't exactly a law abiding citizen doing his part to fight crime. What happened was that Al got himself involved in a drug deal and got caught by the feds who made Al work with them to help bring down the supplier in exchange for making his drug charge "go away". So instead of just being a racist, trouble maker and extortionist... you can add failed drug dealer to his resume.

You know, I think I recently seen Big Al with a trophy girlfriend himself. Unfortunately he is too slick to be taken down by her and if she was to reveal his huge pile of dirty laundry he would get a free pass anyway.

The one thing i started thinking after all of this came out and especially now after the wife WANTS the team and will fight for it could cost her huge money for lawyers and I would think the value of the franchise will plummet.
All the NBPA would have to do is wait it out. What free agent would sign with the team? Who would re up with the team. I have to think the value of a franchise is greater the better the team is sans the "National" teams like the Cowboys, Lakers etc...
Her fighting this to me will be almost a lost cause and devalue what she has.
On top of this is does he want her to have it and did SHE also at some point in time agree to the bylaws as an owner? If she hasnt i would have to think its a slam dunk to have to sell as she is not an owner of the team in that case.

You can look to the Washington Redskins as a similar case. These fucking indians (especially this Ray character from Oneida Nation in upstate NY) have been demanding Daniel Snider change the name and he's been reluctant to even meet with them let alone entertain their demands. I know it's an entirely different story because the indians complaining aren't deserving of any constitutional, local, state or govt laws simply for the fact... they're not part of this country, they don't pay taxes, horde all that casino money of which the "real deserving indians" never see a fucking dime and they give virtually nothing back locally (other than under paying their employees cause state min wage doesn't apply) unlike every other legal gaming authority in this country... so in my opinion... FUCK EM!

But.... It hasn't seemed to damage the Redskins credibility or ability to turn a profit nor the value of the team. Yes the Clippers situation is a bit worse (blacks have a better PR machine than the Indians with shits like Jessie and Al to protest) but I don't think it will damage the Clips in the long run if Mrs Sterling takes over so long as she's got no racist recordings in her closet. I think they will fight this on principle and have the law rather than public opinion and political correctness on their side. They're filthy rich and can still sell the team at half it's current value and still make ten times what they paid for it 30 years ago.
