Clippers Owner: No Blacks At Clipper Games

[MrMiniver]

Oh, I see. It's been tolerated for many years so that makes it perfectly OK to tolerate it today?

 

#FAIL

That it was tolerated under the previous commissioner is an indictment on the previous commissioner. That the current commissioner effectively and swiftly dealt with the first incident presented to him seems to me to be a success.

 

But on the subject of sports and lifetime bans, in general, I suspect we haven't seen the last of one Donald Sterling. For starters, he's a litigious old fuck and I suspect his lawyers are already drafting the suits he's gong to file. But also, the old rich white guys who own teams RARELY get held to the same standard their players get held to.

 

See: George Steinbrenner. Banned from baseball for life by MLB. He was back in three (THREE!) years. Yet another reason to think we haven't heard the last of one Donald Sterling.

 

But Pete Rose? Yeah, still banned. AROD? Probably dunzo.

 

But not an owner. Never an owner.

 

No, it shouldn't be and I never said it should be. Furthermore, last time I checked making a racist comment is NOT a crime of any sort. But physically assaulting someone is. I'm just saying that the death penalty is being given out for what people think and say rather than what they do. I find that troubling and I echo the comments of the great Kareem Abdul Jabbar who basically said the same thing.

 

FAGGOT is used in NBA lockerrooms every single day. Should each and every one of the players who uses that term be banned for life?

 

I'm just saying that this sort of thing is very troubling, very troubling on every level.

I can't wait until this dies down.
