Don't bring black people to my games

Is this why Blake Griffin is always shown side-view in team pictures?

 

I'll believe him when he releases Griffin and signs Adam Morrison to a max contract.

ESPN coming in hot with the story on SportsCenter at 1:17 p.m., over 12 hours after this thing broke. They talked about it for 30 seconds, then PLAYOFF HIGHLIGHTS.
Quick, let's talk about the NFL!!!

 

What's the NBA's next move here? Ban him something along the lines of Marge Schott? Force sale?

 

Snoop Dogg's, um, eloquent response:

My God, what a piece of shit Sterling is.

 

The NBA's best move would be to stall and let everyone who has ever heard or seen Sterling being racist find a microphone. I'm guessing it won't take too long. I take it Sterling has never had a problem being viewed as a scumbag, and would sell the team for a half-billion profit with a smile on his face.
The thing is just odd. He doesn't have a problem with his lady-friend's ethnicity, but has a problem with her friends' ethnicity? Do his buddies give him shit about her hanging out with black people? And that's what bothers him?

 

He doesn't want to sell. They've been trying to get him to sell for years and years. He loves being a big shot and having celebrities come to his games, which is why the league couldn't get him to move to Anaheim.

The NBA is in a fairly tough position here. He's absolutely an embarrassment to the league (and has been for ages), but they can't just force him to sell the team. Banning him from the building might work, but I don't know what exactly they can do in that regard.

 

The hilarious part is this guy moved a team from San Diego to play in the LA Sports Arena, where they played for 15 years, and doesn't want people of color to attend his games.

 

Over something said in a private conversation?

Sheesh, people say things every day. Are we now somehow required to like certain types of people? (But, apparently it's fine to dislike certain others.)

Hell, I wouldn't want my SO to be taking pictures with them, either.

 

Wow.
