i don't know if he is a racist or just tries to come out as one.
He has black girlfriend, he had black GM, he has a black coach, stars of his team are black...
Maybe he just an asshole (not just about the race thing, just look at his history and what he did to people) that enjoys the reputation of a racist...

If memory serves correctly, Major League Baseball forced Marge Schott to sell the Reds, so there is precedent, sort of, albeit in a different sport. Then again, it's been this way for years, so unless the Jordan's, Lebron's and Kobe's of the world speak up for a change and rally the troops, doubt anything changes unfortunately.

The L.A.. Clippers should BOYCOTT the playoffs ... and refuse to step on the court until the NBA takes action against Donald Sterling ... so says Keith Olbermann.
Olbermann went to Twitter this morning -- after TMZ Sports posted audio of the Clippers owner telling his GF not to bring black people to his games -- and railed against Sterling.
"time for #Clippers players to step up. Refuse to play till NBA moves against this racist jackass #Sterling. NBA can't defend him.'
Olbermann also notes, "I was banned by the #Clippers for criticism of the front office - in 1986. This made me the envy of every other LA sports media person."

My guess? Since the NBA couldnt do anything about all the other stuff he's done, he'll get some sort of fine, be made to establish some charity etc & forced to miss a couple games. But unless Silver has bigger balls than Stern, NBA wont do much. Though I wish they would

I don't know. In a less sensitive era, Schott, a formerly beloved owner, was forced to sell after anti-Semitic remarks and there are only a handful of Jewish players in baseball. Now, in a more sensitive era, an already despised owner has made remarks that demean the race of, what, 75% of the players in the league?

Elgin said that the organization was run according to Sterlings vision of a Southern Plantation back in the day. Guess all that stuff was true.

And it will be interesting to see if they could win a legal battle against him. You have to prove he discriminates, not that he is a racist.
I wonder what the terms are for teams to be in the NBA .. how easily can the NBA remove a team from their "group"?
Also, ...isn't that chick kind of young for him?

Without the chick, I think he skates on this. But the more I think of it, with the wife situation going on, the young piece of poon & the remarks. That whole thing is gonna be 1 of those "Its best for all parties involved if you just took a break Donald"

Which means the players on the team were looking the other way? The league itself was looking the other way?
Seems I remember a thread about him being a racist before so it makes sense.
Sad players would go there for the paycheck knowing he is a racist before they do.

Accusations of racism and discrimination
In November 2005, ESPN reported that Donald Sterling agreed to pay a fine of $2.73 million to settle claims brought by the Justice Department and Davin Day of Newport Beach that he engaged in disciminatory rental practices against Hispanics, blacks, and families with children.[SUP][5][/SUP] In addition, Sterling was also ordered to pay attorneys' fees and costs in that action of $4,923,554.75. [Order Granting Motion for Prevailing Party's Attorneys' Fees and Costs, dated November 2, 2005, C.D. Cal. Case No. 2:03-cv-00859-DSF-E Dkt No. 454]. In granting the attorney's fees and costs Judge Dale S. Fischer noted "Sterling's' scorched earth' litigation tactics, some of which are described by the Plaintiffs' counsel and some of which were observed by the Court. The Court has no difficulty accepting Plaintiffs' counsel's representations that the time required to be spent on this case was increased by defendant's counsel's often unacceptable, and sometimes outrageous conduct." [Id. at p. 5]
In February 2009, Sterling was sued by former longtime Clippers executive Elgin Baylor for employment discrimination on the basis of age and race.[SUP][6][/SUP] The lawsuit alleges Sterling told Baylor that he wanted to fill his team with "poor black boys from the South and a white head coach".[SUP][7][/SUP] The suit alleges that during negotiations for Danny Manning, Sterling said "I'm offering a lot of money for a poor black kid."[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP] The suit noted those comments while alleging "theCaucasian head coach was given a four-year, $22-million contract", but Baylor's salary had "been frozen at a comparatively paltry $350,000 since 2003".[SUP][6][/SUP]
On August 8, 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Sterling for housing discrimination in using race as a factor in filling some of his apartment buildings. The government's ongoing case alleges Sterling refused to rent to non-Koreans in the Koreatown neighborhood and to African Americans in Beverly Hills.[SUP][7][/SUP]The suit alleges Sterling once said he did not like to rent to Hispanics because they "smoke, drink and just hang around the building," and that "Black tenants smell and attract vermin."[SUP][7][/SUP]
On April 9, 2014, TMZ Sports released an audio conversation recorded by V. Stiviano, Sterling's girlfriend. Both Stiviano and Sterling argued in regards to a posted photo Stiviano uploaded on Instagram where she posed with Magic Johnson. In the audio recording, Sterling tells Stiviano: “It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?”[SUP][9][/SUP]
