Quote:Sterling is probably the worst owner in North American sports history. Even before this.
Worse than Marge Schott? Maybe but it's debatable.

I'm sure mine wont be a common opinion but I dont really care. I've always believed strongly in the rights of the individual and as long as you arent hurting anyone or infringing upon their rights, I dont care what you do or what you think. Its your right to be anything you want to be. And frankly I dont really see him infringing on the rights of black people. He has hired a number of black coaches. He obviously has black players. He pays them their market value(and in some cases has overpaid for lousy players). So if he doesnt treat any minority any differently, but in his private life doesnt like them, I dont know that I care.
Now I wouldnt want to associate myself with him. Nor would I want to support any business venture of his. Cant see myself buying a Clippers ticket next time I'm in LA. But I still think he has a right to own the Clippers. And its the decision of the players to not go there and the fans to not show up. It'll be interesting to see if that happens. I've always thought we as Americans talk a big game but when push comes to shove are consumers first and equal rights activists second.

And her face on the cover of Sports Illustrated because of her bigotry. But, lets wait and see if Sterling's face goes down in cover history too.. It's like a race to see who can be the biggest bigot..

Although I agree with the general sentiment of your post, this link shows some examples of when racism has affected other people.

No doubt his old, ugly mug will be on the SI cover this week.

Amen!
I absolutely looooooove the White Christian victim card.
I just hope one day things will change and society will be more accepting of our kind. When will the oppression cease?

Its funny because the point you're making is so true. Well in many cases anyway. Women love green over black or white.

This ticks me off as well. Racism is racism. And stereotypes are stereotypes. What exists for one should exist for all.

This guy will need to learn to sleep with one eye opened because his mixed race girlfriend looks like she may have a little bit of a crazy streak.
Based on his comments, the guy proves you don't need to be smart to be rich.

Well if that were the case, then this very thread shouldn't be allowed to exist.

Pretty sure religion and politics are a no-no. Maybe I am wrong.

I think he's just mocking High Score's craving for acknowledgment of his moral superiority.
