Report: Clippers owner Donald Sterling caught on tape telling his girlfriend to not bring African-Americans to 'my games'

I tried to find your Rush comment, but it was removed.

Only certain names can be mentioned when discussing new buyers apparently Magic is considered "on topic."

Others are on a case by case.

IN keeping with the protective rule-

Magic would make a great name to head up any sports franchise.

Certainly he is loved and adored by all.

I can hear your teeth grinding all the way over here.

He would do well as the owner of the Clippers.

I know. His teeth are going to be nubs by the time he finishes.

No teeth grinding over here.

HE may or may not, how has Michael Jordan done?

Just being Black or having been a former player does not have anything to do with success in this position.

At best their face can help launch a new era for a team and put people in the seats.... that is short lived though.

Someone mentioned Magic as successful in other ventures, he might have just what it takes.

But you are confusing business and personal.

So, are we going to base MJ's experience as the reason MJ can't run the Clippers? News flash Danno, just because one didn't do so well, doesn't bode for everyone.

Awww, don't be upset Danno. There will be plenty more threads to rant and rave.

I hope Magic gets it. That would be poetic justice.

If going off topic was a true no no there would be no threads or members.

Per your remark. I will happily relieve a slime ball of his money

Wow, that makes sense. Who is this and what have you done with NB?

From your tone it would seem your joy is based on a Black guy getting the team.

The flip side of disliking people based on race is "favoring" people because of race.

My joy is not based on his skin color. Here's a tidbit for you. Take a look at the Pacers. Larry Bird, one of the greatest to play the game. Look at their record.

I take joy in the fact that the Mr. Sterling's comments and attitude towards minorities is about to cause him to lose his team. The fact that it's the one guy that his girlfriend took a picture with and the source of the rant might get the Clippers makes it funny. Magic has done well with the Dodgers, if he does well with the Clippers, good on him, if not, they'll get another owner.

Please show me people who have gained or excelled in life because of being favored by black people.

It would be great if Magic owned the team, but nobody sucks up to blacks to excel in America. No one is going to start trying to be Magic's best friend just because he owns the Clippers. He is still going to be a black person, just like Donald Sterling has proved to us. Being a nice wealthy black person doesn't get you any better treatment.

You can't have it both ways.

Do not drive the subject off-topic and then cry to the mods because people respond and you don't like the sting.

Huh? My post talks about Magic and Donald. Maybe you should read it again. And don't get angry with me because people's posts are being removed. Not my fault.

“We also suggest that African Americans and Latinos should honor his request and not attend the games,” Alice Huffman, President of the NAACP California State Conference said in a statement.

Is this statement for the players as well?

Well, they don't have to worry about me. I have only attended like 5 basketball games in my life. They make too much money for me to give them money. In all truth, some of this money needs to be taken away and given to our teachers, military men and women, paramedics and other important people who are detrimental to our nation's future.
