At least he didn't say darkies….


TMZ revealed a recording early Saturday morning of what it says is Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling pathetically admonishing his girlfriend for “associating” with African-Americans – apparently she made the major mistake, in Sterling’s eyes, of posing for a photo with Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, a photo she later uploaded to her Instagram account.

It's a shocking and infuriating 9½-minute bit of tape that should embarrass the NBA and force new commissioner Adam Silver into action.

According to TMZ's recording, Sterling went on to chide his girlfriend, who is half-African-American and half-Mexican, for bringing African-Americans to Clippers games, even if those guests in question were of exalted status as Magic is, and even if she’s never done as much.

The recording is an absolutely depressing listen, to say the least. Here are some of the snippets, according to TMZ, from Sterling, who told his girlfriend V. Stiviano that he feels “very strongly” about her “broadcasting” the fact she briefly spoke to and posed with a very famous black man:

-- "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?" (3:30)

-- "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." (5:15)

-- "...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games." (9:13)
Donald Sterling is the NBA’s great shame, and now a major media outlet apparently has him on record as telling a woman – one that he obscenely disrespects throughout the entire exchange – that he doesn’t want African-Americans coming to his basketball games. Whether Sterling is sadly mixing up his words or only referring to Magic Johnson personally, or jealous of the brief attention his much younger girlfriend (Sterling is still married to another woman, mind you) received isn’t the point – the point is that the NBA has to do something about its biggest problem.

This is indefensible. Sterling’s treatment of this woman is execrable enough, but the clear intent of his message and what’s simmering just underneath what he actually lets out should be enough to force what has previously been a spineless league (regarding the Clippers' owner) into action. The Clippers could boast a lily-white roster and coaching staff, that part barely matters in relation to Donald Sterling – owner of an NBA team – being taped telling someone he doesn’t want African-Americans at his basketball games.

Fight with his girl, heat of the moment, jealous as hell – it does not matter.

This is Silver’s first great task. He’ll have to balance the interests of a small team-owning few versus the respect of hundreds of millions. This, like Donald Sterling, is a no-brainer.

Outside of him being Clavin Bundy in a suit, did he seriously say that his gf can bang whoever she wants as long as they aren't black?

He's a married older man. He's ignorant but he isn't that stupid. He knows she is fucking other men.

I assume she recorded and leaked this? Even if you redact every iota of race from this conversation, these sound like two of the most vapid, miserable assholes I would ever inevitably have the displeasure of sitting near at a restaurant or on an airplane or at a bullfight or whatever.

Yeah why was Stern such a Pussy when it comes to this guy?

In 2009, Sterling agreed to pay the U.S. Justice Department a then-record $2.73 million to settle allegations his companies targeted and discriminated against blacks, Hispanics and families with children in renting apartments in greater Los Angeles.

In 2005, his company agreed to settle a similar racial discrimination suit for an undisclosed sum – "one of the largest ever obtained in this type of case," according to the judge – and a reported $5 million in plaintiff legal fees.

Did you know even NASCAR donated to Jessie at one time.

Jesse Jackson appeared on ESPN, and called for a boycott of Clippers game by the players, their families, black fans and by white people who view blacks and whites as equals, also saying Sterling should be suspended immediately for an length of time to be determined.

Always gotta have a boycott. fuck all the vendors, food prep, cleaning and staidum people, they can live without a paycheck while jessie gets a little more.

Just hate when this asshole takes away from the simple focus that Sterling should be removed as the majority owner of the team and more IMPORTANTLy not allowed to attend games.

Sterling bought the team with an eye on the appreciation of the franchise and he enjoyed going to games with his friends. he has the appreciation and he had the money anyways, stopping him from going to the games would be the harshest penalty to the guy.

The best thing about Donald Sterling is that he does all his ads in-house.

I may be off on some of the details, but:

1. Dan has implored us to check out NBA players' bodies (that's his emphasis, not mine; he always drops his voice an octave when he says it). He's also repeatedly used the term "big black studs," though that may only be in reference to NFL players.

2. Dan once expressed a desire to "breed" (his term) Brittney Griner with his kid to produce a super-athletic, super-smart ubermensch.

3. Basically anything he's ever said about Englewood jibes perfectly with the worldview of a guy who made his fortune as a slumlord.

According to Baylor, one reason for their continued ineptitude was Sterling in telling Baylor he wanted to fill his team with "poor black boys from the South and a white head coach."

A Clippers draft pick who could actually play, was Kansas star Danny Manning. Manning didn't last in LA. This might be because Sterling, according to Baylor, would grumble that he didn't like being in a position where "I'm offering a lot of money for a poor black kid." Baylor's lawsuit claims the team has "egregious salary disparities" based on race. Baylor claims he was told to "induce African American players to join the Clippers, despite the Clippers' reputation of being unwilling to fairly treat and compensate African American players." Baylor says the owner, Donald Sterling, has a "pervasive and ongoing racist attitude." It also stated that Sterling made clear to Baylor that hiring an African American head coach was not his preference. This is why Baylor's lawyers accuse Sterling of having a "vision of a Southern plantation-type structure."

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Similarities to Bernstein's views on the NBA and NFL are in there.

This is like getting laid on Christmas morning at Disneyland for Jesse Jackson.

I heard several minutes of the recording. Sterling's girlfriend (V. Stiviano) sounds like she's stiltedly reading from cue cards. I was waiting for her to say "You think you can close deals..." or "hotshot hotshot hotshot..." at the end.

He wanted to breed Griner with his own son?!? That's what he said?

How long did Elgin Baylor work for Sterling? Wouldn't you speak up the first time anything like what he alleges was said to him? how long did he do nothing ?

Sterling obviously should be forced to sell the franchise for the good of the NBA as he is a long time scumbag, but I'd like to know what this broad was up to in recording this?

Is she going after her 5 minutes of fame?

Does she have some kind of vendetta against Sterling?

Is she just some bimbo looking to get famous??

They burned his house down and tortured his animals? Is he speaking metaphorically or did some white dudes burn his house down?
