    Warriors should boycott, too.

    If Cuban gets hit with a $100,000 fine for questioning the refs, this guy needs a fine in the seven figures. Hit him where it hurts. That's the only thing he'll understand.

    I'd love for Doc Rivers to give a real interview about what he really thinks. He is probably too smart to do that, but it is a very difficult position. If he walks after this year, I guess we'd know.

    Can the NBA force Stern to sell? I don't think they can, and as litigious as he is and as much as he enjoys being a horrible person, I don't see any attempt along those lines to go well. What they can do is fine him an amount that will get his attention ($5M or more) and tell him he avoids the fine if he sells.

    Really, though, when they decided to ignore the court case with him refusing to rent to blacks or Latinos, they were saying they didn't care. Maybe they'll have the Clippers host an MLK Day game to make up for it.

    So we have news ... and ESPN isn't bothering with it? Shocking, I know ...

    Fine him at least seven figures. We'll see how much punch Adam Silver packs.

    I can just see the KKK jumping on Sterling's bandwagon and showing up to games now.

    Great going, Donald...

    A player boycott ain't gonna happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of pressure put on Clipper season ticket holders to make a statement with their wallets this off season, particularly some of these celebrity types that have just recently discovered the Clippers after Paul and Griffin came to town. Is it fair to ask Billy Crystal if he really wants to put money in the racist scumbag's pockets? Yeah, I think it is.

    What in the goddamn motherfracking hell is the NAACP doing honoring Donald Sterling in the first place? Refusing to rent to "the blacks" because "they smell, they're not clean" wasn't enough of a lifetime disqualifier?

    Interesting ESPN replays "Inside the NBA" commentary ... way to take a stand, WWL!

    Too bad he couldn't find any articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking African-Americans.

    Oh, I totally "own it". I'm not blaming anyone for anything. I've never tried to be less than honest about my beliefs or feelings. Nothing to feel any shame over.

    I share the story simply in an attempt to explain, in some small way, why some people are how they are. Seems like you have encountered the same things. You made your choices; I made mine. I have found no reason why I would want to associate with minorities. Perhaps you have. We both "own it". I prefer to live in places without large minority populations. I like who I am; I hope you like yourself, too. Peace.
