Donald Sterling is apparently a racist. He made comments on a recording that TMZ has recovered. Sterling's words will not be printed here because they do need to be seen (although you can click on the link if you so desire).
The Clippers coach Doc Rivers, a black man, and his players, are undoubedtly upset. Chris Paul, the starting point guard is the head of the National Basketball Players Association and he will need to spend a lot of time on this issue. Thankfully the Clippers have decided not to boycott game four.
This is the best team the Clippers franchise has ever assembled. It would be a shame for them to do anything that would compromise their chances at a championship. They are one of the three teams most likely to win the title.
What Sterling said is a complete disgrace. He should be ashamed and should go as far as considering relinquishing his ownership of a team that is part of a league where the majority of its's players are African-American.
Sterling has denied that his true feelings match what was said in the TMZ tape. Save it Sterling, we're not buying it. He is doing what he has to with his denial, but nobody should buy it. Sterling is an idiot. He deserves a harsh punishment and he deserves the hatred that will come his way.
