Clippers owner under investigation for racist comments

[Yuppy]

Yeah, he is...

I said I'm done.

I truly didn't know with who I was messing with. I am a pathetic doll who doesn't have opinions even when I make some. All I do is quote and get trolled by english-knowing-great-reading-great-statement-making-really-smart guys.

I am not worthy.

C'mon don't be a crying cissy, man!
C'mon, DON'T BE A DICK! BE A MAN... "DICK"! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

What a loser!

[Mandich]

Did you seriously just make another account to join forces against me?

Admins please check the IP adress, please.

[formx]

I don't know wtf I just read

[Yuppy]

You deserve a ban Dick, you really deserve it!

But i'm used to this... Talk too much about someone rights (Sterling), but do exaclty the same against others... YOU ARE THE SCUM OF THAT SHIT! My wish is to send you to that place... But i am not like you, i am not afraid of anyone or nobody here or elsewhere.

Respect others man... Quote (...), Asshole!

[Mandich]

And why exactly should I be banned?

But i am not like you, i am not afraid of anyone or nobody here or elsewhere.

What the?

You really did make another account...and yet I'm pathetic...

[NovU]

Cut it out guys. I really hate seeing anyone getting banned (especially a modding enthusiast and a regular). Don't forget at the end of the day we're all here to share our passion for the sport. Can we put our egos aside for now.

I was kinda glad these days because the forum hasn't been this lively for awhile. I think we should give TOP BIN his second chance. I believe he'll come around.

Notice how the NBA was quick to dump Sterling once their sponsors got ticked off, yet they looked the other way for years while this assclown committed housing discrimination. Sterling's illegal actions were a lot worse than his words. Just goes to show it's always about business, always. When you have a negative impact on your company's bottom line, your history.

This. Honestly I don't agree with the NBA's actions against Sterling; however it being a business move, more so than an overbearing social move (no matter how the frickin media portrayed it) means I'm less likely to get really mad about it.

But I absolutely hated the way the NBA teams (more specifically the players) dealt with it. Seriously over dramatic, I expect it from the media, but fuck the players for playing into it like that. Are people seriously that ignorant to believe that racism is all of a sudden dead? There's plenty of people still alive today, who lived and worked during a time where unless you were a white male, you weren't getting a higher up job (that's admittedly a mild situation). Do they think people who were raised this way their entire life are just instantly going to change their core beliefs over night (by night I mean several years)?

You really did make another account...and yet I'm pathetic...

Fairly certain at this point he's just been trying to troll you. No matter how entertaining all that was to read, I'd probably just ignore him moving forward. I mean c'mon "dick, oh dich hehehe" .... I believe English is your second language, but how old are you (Top Bin)?

[Mandich]

really hate seeing anyone getting banned

C'mon NovU. You and I had some heated arguments and there was never talk about banning, neither from us or from others. Doubt things will change now.

Volsey, I absolutely agree with everything you said. This was a poor bussiness move even more so poorly handled by the NBA as a whole.

Agree with everything expect the English thing.

English isn't my native tongue as well, yet I learnt it by myself as a kid(I'll never be as fluent as a native, but I believe I'm fairly decent at it).

[shadowgrin]

Why are his posts disappearing?

Deleted by the powers that be. Because reading those posts will give us cancer.
No one wants to have cancer, unless you want to look like Charlie Villanueva.

[_Steve_]

What a cheap shot on Charlie V! He's not as nearly as ugly as Sam Cassell.

[Mandich]

I'd throw Adam Morrison and his thin porn mustache there.

Also Scottie Pippen who has the widest nose in the history of mankind. His face is rumored as the reason MJ retired the first time.

After conducting a formal review, the NBA has alleged that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his management team attempted to mislead the league during its investigation of racist remarks he made on a recording published by TMZ, according to a report obtained by the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.

Sterling's actions were among several allegations the NBA made against the banned owner as well as Clippers management in the 30-page report, as detailed by the Times.

• Sterling tried to get V. Stiviano to lie about the authenticity of the recording and tell investigators that she had altered the audio of the TMZ tape. Stiviano was the person Sterling made the racist comments to on the tape, in which he voices unhappiness with her for posting online photos of herself with black people, including Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.

• On April 9, more than two weeks before it became public, the Clippers received a copy of the recording. Team president Andy Roeser discussed it with Sterling, then instructed an employee to destroy the copy. Roeser is currently on an indefinite leave of absence.

• Sterling and his wife, Shelly, are not estranged, as she has said. "Significant evidence exists in the public record and otherwise that Mr. and Mrs. Sterling are not in any sense estranged," the report says, according to the Times, adding that they are "inextricably intertwined" despite their claims. The report details how the two attended most Clippers home games this season, were spotted together at the All-Star Game in New Orleans and spent two days together immediately after the controversial recording went public.

The spin game continues.

[Kevin]

McDonald still not ready to let go of his farm.

Donald Sterling's lawyer, Max Blecher, told ESPN on Tuesday that his client "is going to fight to the bloody end" and has effectively "disavowed" the agreement he reached with his wife last week that would allow her to negotiate a sale of the team.

Asked why Sterling seems to have had a change of heart, Blecher said, "He was in a state of shock at first. Now he's recovering and he's much more feisty."

[Patr1ck]

Told you guys. He's no longer pussy whipped.

[bowdown]

Good for him. Been racist all his life and now just gonna let a stupid fucking private phone call with a prostitute ruin his business? Fuck that shit.

[shadowgrin]

NBA wouldn't allow his wife to handle the sale of the team (tax reasons) so now Sterling is pissed.

[Kevin]

Finally.. Sterling Agrees To Sell

[Patr1ck]

This is the equivalent of a player buyout, but it's an owner buyout. I wonder how Ballmer will be compensated his excessive contribution of almost four times what the team is worth.

[shadowgrin]

He'd hire developers for the Clippers.

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s team of lawyers has hired four private investigation firms to dig up dirt on the NBA’s former and current commissioners and its 29 other owners, a person familiar with Sterling’s legal strategy said.

Investigators were given a six-figure budget over the next 30 days to examine the league’s finances, allegations of previous discriminatory conduct and compensation to past Commissioner David Stern and current Commissioner Adam Silver, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday night on condition of anonymity. The person wasn’t authorized to talk publicly.

The person said the investigators also are looking into whether other owners made any off-color jokes, or racist or sexist remarks.

“The gloves are off, as they say,” the person said. “Have them dig up all the dirt they can find.”
