Up to 25 in a row, and still have a better record than Milwaukee

[shafnutz05]

Holy crap. I know the Pistons aren't good, but the Sixers are winning by 30 points in the fourth quarter. They will NOT break the record for the longest losing streak in professional sports history. I am so disappointed.

Donald Sterling racist remarks

http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=10843525

In the recording, the man believed to be Sterling questions his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, about her association with minorities. TMZ reports that Stiviano, who is black and Mexican, posted a picture of her with Magic Johnson on Instagram, a photo that has since been removed.

"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" the man believed to be Sterling says. He continues, "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games."

This is just odd. Let me make sure I get it, his girlfriend is a black Mexican but not allowed to be seen associating with blacks or mexicans. But she is allowed to sleep with whomever she wants. Just don't broadcast it or bring them around.

The only normal thing about this story is that Jesse Jackson is all over it.

Either there's something missing from this story or this guy needs a good head shrinking.

Sterling just sounds like an old, senile piece of garbage.


If I'm a Clippers fan I'm moving this because maybe this means he'll sell the team.

[TPW]

He may be senile now but he's been making similar comments for his entire life.

[DudeMan2766]

I saw my mom today and because of this nonsense she asked me quote "Who won the Clippers game" I literally made her repeat the question 3 times because I was so stunned. She said that's all they're talking about on CNN. I've never had my mother ask me the results of an NBA game in my life. That was definitely a new one.

Is it really that a big of a story that a 80+ year old white dude said some mild racist comments in a private conversation that it is OMG BREAKING NEWS on every major news outlet? It's not like he's had a history of being a bigot. Guess the NCAAP will stop giving him awards now.

[shafnutz05]

This is the most buzz the NBA has gotten nationwide in a while, and it took an old white guy to get it done

[count2infinity]

This is a non-story to me, but oh well. People are going nuts over this.

[Letang Is The Truth]

i think its a huge deal

[PghSkins]

He may be senile now but he's been making similar comments for his entire life.

Huh? He was scheduled to get an NAACP Award....

[shmenguin]

i think its a huge deal

Yeah, I think it's pretty big.

Yeah..not sure why the NAACP was scheduled to give him an award, but he has made similar comments quite a few times in the past. He's a racist piece of garbage.

[Troy Loney]

mildly racist?

[columbia]

One odd aspect that the young woman in question is 1/2 African American.

The NAACP has been honoring racists for years...I don't think that's really a big story. Agree with columbia on the weird girlfriend dynamic....this guy is clearly a loon. Will be interesting to see how the Clippers play out this series

And that the guy's married and his wife was at the game yesterday.

I guess I always knew that some people had the open marriage concept but... I'd lose some important (to me) body parts.

[Gaucho]

mildly racist?

[shafnutz05]

Did I miss the "mildly" post? As far as I know Donald Sterling has always been a first-class dirtbag. Not sure if this was posted yet, but this is hardly Sterling's first foray into making these kinds of remarks:

The NBA has looked the other way for a long time.
As has been pointed out in the last day, the league has argued in court that they are a singular financial entity, so they need to act like one and get rid of him.

Ah. Yes, this guy has a noted track record of being a bigot.
