On the subject of blacks falling afoul of the same standards they are setting, I just watched Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith both agree that Floyd Mayweather could never be a NBA owner because of his racists remarks about a latin boxer. What goes around comes around I guess.

Yes, racism exists today - but not exactly where they want you to think it is.

I remember David Duke when I lived in S Carolina,People loved him..I also remember seeing.."Blacks Only" entrances at the sides of buildings..This was in the 90's..Yes it still exists today!

I grew up the 60s and remember all that an a lot worse.
How does this one guy in his own home speaking in private rack up against all that? How does it rack up against voting for KKK member, for calling for an all Black NBA?
Racism lives on both sides of the coin.
But that is not the message being sent out.

Tom, and it never will be.
Funny how the prez always speaks up when a white guy says or does something, but never addresses black on white crime or even the terrible black on black crime that's going on in Chicago.
I still remember Holder saying he wouldn't prosecute Black Panthers that blocked the doors at that voting place in Philly, saying he couldn't cause they were his people or something nutty like that.

Magic Johnson and V did a superb sneak attack with media leakage, allowing Magic the opportunity to purchase the clippers before that old codger dies. I wonder how well V is going to make out in the deal.

McSchell, Some people loved David Duke, but not a majority. And I think we are a long way from the 90's. And remember, Johnson could not have gotten the Civil Rights act passed without a whole lot of Republican help, because a lot of Dems wanted no part of it.

That old codger isn't going to sell. He'll litigate the hell out of any attempt to his last breath. His tax bill would be 200 million if he sold now, even to his wife. If he dies, no taxes if the family gets it. 200 million will buy a lot of lawyers. Let's not worry ourselves about him selling. He isn't. The league is on shaky legal ground in trying to force him out. He'd eat their lunch in court and we all know it. Adam Silver was just putting on a show when he said the owners should vote him out and when the owners leaked that it would be 29-0 to vote him out. They did that to protect the black fan base but the reality is far different. Feel free to bookmark this post for the day when the old codger sells before his death.

They really showed him...
What a ridiculous statement you made Gary.

No way he would have seen prison time. Probation and community service

No taxes if he leaves to his family? Where the hell did you hear that?

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. My belief is that this man thrives attention and being a big shot. I do not think he is going to get any respect from anyone(with very few exceptions) after this. This guys ego is so big he buys full page ads in the LA Times with his mug on it advertising what a great guy he is. Advertisers will not touch his product. His words to the girl were "how can we make this go away". Life will never be the same for him again. Not sure how much fight he will have in him. Life will be very different for him from here on out. If he does fight this....the media circus hasn't even begun.
By the way some of you might enjoy.

Property transfers at death to anybody but his wife and charities would not avoid estate taxes.
Being that Sterling and his wife have been married since 1955, I would think that she already owns half the team due to community property laws.

For what? He didn't commit any crime. It's not against the law to be a bigot.
