    So does the fact that he said it in private make him any less racist?

    I didn't see where he implied that at all. However, the fact that the little gold-digger recorded a private conversation for no other reason than to create this shitstorm hasn't really gotten enough attention. She's about as big of a piece of shit as he is.

    Absolutely not, but, opinions are not illegal. Makes him a douche for sure, but he didn't say or doing anything criminal.

    Side note: As of this morning it was reported 13 sponsors have left the team.

    NBA has decided to suspend Sterling "indefinitely".

    Press Conference in a few minutes.

    No. You missed the point entirely.

    As it should be. These yokels who want the NBA to take away the team (as if it had that power) or force him to sell scare me....really, no concept of what freedom is. Instead, you have businesses exercising their right to choose with whom they wish to do business. It will be interesting to see if the other major shoe in this backlash drops, i.e.; player signings? Once the season is over, how many current Clippers will demand a trade or simply ask out of their contract? How many potential free agents will snub them, or might the team even be blackballed (there's an ironic term) by the players' union? Will some unknown number one draft choice opt to go to Europe or even sit out a year rather than sign with LAC?
