Donald Sterling " I was "baited" into a "terrible mistake" CNN Interview tonight 5/12

[Capster]

I think if the guy spends more time apologizing and reaching out to the community then he should be forgiven. He just made dumb comments, it's not like he raped someone. If he can't be forgiven the same one strike and your out forever rule should be applied to black athletes.

OMG..... for brains, tbh. Sterling has been a racist asshole for years.

[313]

No it's not. Commissioner Silver was asked very directly if any past transgressions were considered and he said no. He said it was just the tape he considered when handing down the 2M fine and ban for life.

We both know that's not true though

Sterling rapedPERIOD

[DPG21920]

you can't get baited into being a racist piece of .

i don't wanna hear all this crying from his wife either, about how it's unfair they're taking ownership away. you dumb , there's zero chance you lived with him all these years and never knew. if you own a McDonalds and you start acting a fool, Ronald's gonna come take those signs down and cut you off.

these old racist s and their damage control. smdh

So are you mad at Doc Rivers and CP3 for basically being like Sterling's wife? They took his money, made themselves rich knowing full well the man they were working for.

I think they're a bunch of uncle toms tbh

Well, that's what he said. Are you saying that the commissioner of the NBA lied to the American people right to their faces? I wonder if a judge is going to feel that way too..

what DPG won't say, he'll have you say. You're all just pawns in DPG's little game. And I do mean little

I was the first one to call out Doc/NBA about their role in this on ST

I know. I think I was in that thread. Take it easy, Point Guard.

[DPG21920]

SpursT loves short jokes. I think I should become a comedian. All I would have to do is go on stage and stand there for a little while. And I do mean a little while. It would be a short set.

Hehe.

[The Reckoning]

ohhhhh no he's banned but gets to keep his billions. i'd love to be banned from the NBA and have billions.

[Clipper Nation]

No it's not. Commissioner Silver was asked very directly if any past transgressions were considered and he said no. He said it was just the tape he considered when handing down the 2M fine and ban for life.

He has to say that for legal reasons, but if someone that didn't have 30 years' history of embarrassing the league and being a disgusting slumlord was on that tape instead of Sterling, I highly doubt the punishment would have been anywhere near as severe

It's a dumb point no matter who's making it - by that logic, every black NBA player is an Uncle Tom because Sterling was making bank off revenue sharing, TV, and merchandise even without his team being involved

Also, every black NBA fan is an Uncle Tom too since they're supporting a league that would have him as an owner and financially supporting him

Where the finger really should be pointed at is Sterling himself for being a piece of , tbh.... anyone else getting blamed is just a deflection....

That is terrible logic, but it's ok.

[Clipper Nation]

How so? Every black person associated with the NBA between 1981 and 2014 was helping Sterling make money in one way or another - either they're all Uncle Toms or none of them are, you can't pick and choose....

This is like a way worse, not as well thought out version of what I try to do . Only difference is I do it knowingly to rile people up.

Well, I'm a tiny bit better at it. With a little practice the learning curve is drastically shortened.

[SnakeBoy]

Are you White, boy?..

Yes but that doesn't influence my view at all. I'm very sensitive to the plight of the black man in this country. In fact I was recently in New Orleans and on almost every street corner there were black men offering to clean my sneakers for $5. It's a shame they have stoop to that level in this country just to get by. I felt so bad for them I let all them clean my sneakers even though they were already clean and I gave each of them an extra dollar. The only exception was this one guy who wanted me to take them off so he wouldn't have to kneel down on the ground to clean them, I'm pretty sure he was going to run off with my sneakers.

So you see I'm not coming from any racist point of view when I say Sterling should be allowed to earn forgiveness. Much like we let Vick be forgiven for his much more serious mistakes.
