That's an accurate statement actually. I have not really bothered to research this at all.

The lesson to be learned out of this whole thing is that there is no fool like an old fool.

I'm sure divorced women of every ethnicity across the country are privately happier that he got what was coming to him for his philandering rather than his views on race.

Donald Sterling, who bought the Clippers in 1981, is the NBA's longest-tenured owner.
Danny Moloshok/AP

Shortly after the Clippers made Danny Manning the top pick of the 1988 NBA draft, team owner Donald Sterling invited the player and his agent, Ron Grinker, to talk contract in Beverly Hills. It was recounted to me how Sterling lounged around his mansion in a bathrobe open to his navel, wearing nothing underneath.

At one point Sterling's preteen son wandered in and was chastised for skipping Hebrew school. The owner commanded the boy, "Go to your room and get undressed." The child slouched upstairs. Sterling followed. The next thing Manning heard was a belt thrashing and the boy wailing, as Grinker bounded up the stairs yelling, "Stop! Stop! We'll sign."

I heard this in the course of reporting a profile of Sterling (owner of THE WORST FRANCHISE IN SPORTS HISTORY per the cover) that I wrote 14 years ago for Sports Illustrated (April 17, 2000). Except that much of the anecdote didn't appear in the magazine. The profile did include Sterling's hiring a former model to be an assistant GM. And his placing newspaper ads for "hostesses" interested in meeting "celebrities and sports stars." The women were interviewed in Sterling's suite. But so much of his behavior -- extreme parsimony, discriminatory practices, wild sexual escapades -- was deemed too weird, too cruel, too contemptible. An editor told me, "You've demonized him."

ROSENBERG: Sterling's lifetime NBA ban a fitting punishment

Really? I said. I thought I'd bent over backward to be fair.

"Even if Sterling were the source of this stuff, no one would believe it."

Today? Nothing edited out of my profile seems remotely out of character. Who wouldn't believe it?

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/attorney-3rd-party-leaked-recording-sterling

V. Stiviano sent two snippets of the conversation, recorded in her Los Angeles duplex, to a friend who released them without her permission

"She's a young girl thrown in the middle of this thing, unwillingly,"

Sterling and Stiviano were friends, but the two never had an intimate relationship

Stiviano is "hanging in there" and that she was "very saddened" by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's decision to ban Sterling for life

She considers him a friend. I'm sure he feels the same way.

Young? I guess to an 80 year old guy that is young.

Girl? I really have no idea what this guy saw in her in the first place. If I picked that up on the street I would be checking for balls before paying my money.

Isn't that, essentially what the wife he is separated from said in her motion to recover assets he had given his girlfriend?

Doc Rivers was forced to meet with a lot of other Clippers employees because they were going to walk out. Game 7 may be an issue.

Not sure many of know what kind of guy Sterling is, these types of guys just dont listen to anyone, they have an army of Lawyers on call. he will not sell this team. It's not about the money now. The other owners can vote whatever they want, this guy will not comply with anything they agree on.

And a ton of this is on Reinsdorf to broker this resolution. No, not formally, but if there is someone who can talk to Sterling it is him. Sterling is going to put Jerry in a place that he will need to vote against him and force him out. even then, that mess will take years.

I would say the more likely thing would be for them to vote that the team be put into a trust managed by the league with Sterling as the beneficiary, .

http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/05/08/in-newly-released-audio-donald-sterling-insists-im-not-a-racist/

...

In a new audio recording obtained by Radar Online, Sterling is heard saying, “You think I have anything in the world but love for everybody? You don’t think that! You know I’m not a racist,” he says.

Sterling added, “How could you think I’m a racist knowing me all these years? How can you be in this business and be a racist? Do you think I tell the coach to get white players? Or to get the best player he can get?”

Radar Online said the tapes were secretly recorded between Sterling and a long-time friend.

Plantation owners also didn't mind blacks for their workers as well.

Doesn't translate to viewing said blacks as equal to themselves.

Fuck this guy.

“It breaks my heart that Magic Johnson, a guy that I respect so much, wouldn’t stand up and say, ‘Well, let’s get the facts. Let’s get him and talk to him.’ Nobody tried. Nobody.”

Fuck Radar Online too for making themselves complicit patsies in this sad charade.

Hello there...

Sorry there fruit rollup ... too many stairs for me to meet you on a rooftop ...

What's that joke .... guy on a motorcycle cruising thru the AZ desert, and he sees a totem pole in the distance so he decides to check it out ... gets over there and it turns out it's this Daniel Snyder type redskin laying on his back with this sizable boner reaching into the sky .... the guy asks wtf and the injun says "me-um telling the time" (you know, sundial kind of gimmick) ... drives another 20 miles sees it again, sure as shit same story ... "me-um telling the time" ... drives another 20 miles sees another injun fella doing the same thing except he's giving his unit quite the vigorous shellacking, so to speak ... inexplicably the guy walks up and asks wtf the story is ... ol' red replies "me-um winding watch".

Try the veal.

I don't know man...

Magic cons according to Donald Sterling:

He is black.
He banged a lot of women back in the day.

Both of those aren't really considered bad things in America.

edit: Just noticed the updated article with the new Adam Silver statement.

Dat ouch tho
