It’s appalling how in America the race-baiting thought
police moved in against Sterling by publicly trashing and penalizing him with a $2.5
million fine. They also permanently banned
him from games; facilities and they are now trying to force him to sell his
personal property, the L.A. Clippers.
I’m not defending what Sterling may have said privately in a
moment of frustration but I doubt it reflects Sterling’s real feelings. He has never once hired, fired or
discriminated against anyone on account of race! He’s even given millions away to groups
including the NAACP!
Sterling has depended on African-American athletes as no
small part of his investment in the Clippers.
That’s not the action of a racist.
The African-American members of the Clippers and their
families should be standing guard around Sterling but many of these millionaire
players have instead abandoned him.
Have the race-baiters won?
Where is a Grand Jury investigation complete with subpoenas for TMZ,
Stiviano and her friends? Where are the
criminal charges?
Is our media so twisted that they can’t even try to be fair
about the slaughtering of a man's reputation with an unlawfully obtained recording?
This story is far from over.
I can’t wait to see Sterling exercising his own legal remedies against
those that have victimized him.

Sterling's only comment verifies your thesis. “I wish I had just paid her off.”

I'm troubled by this mess and how the first amendment got tossed out the window. Where is the ACLU when you need them? Forget the fact that the conversation was unlawfully and immorally obtained, isn't Sterling allowed his opinion, especially when he had a reasonable expectation of privacy? The free market place should decide his fate. If he wants to talk like a baffoon that's his right. It's also the right of consumers not to support his business.
How much racial rancor exists in pro sports locker rooms today? I'm sure there are many bad words spoken in both a joking and serious fashion. Will the athletes be subjected to the same treatment?
Personally I hope he fights this in the courts and wins. Then he can sell his team if he wishes. I also hope he learns to keep his mouth shut.
