• steubbigred

  What are your thoughts about this man and the situation in general?
• A PAC

  

  I think he's racist.
• ZWICK 4 PREZ

  

  I think his gf's a **** who obviously baited him with intentions to go public. Is he racist? yeah hes just like every single person in the world has made racist comments at one point or another.
• steubbigred

  The girl clearly baited him. I wonder why nobody on ESPN or the news in general are bringing that up? It's something that should be talked about since the skank is nothing but a high priced con artist call girl. Also it is against California law to tape a person without consent.
• Gblock

  clearly he said these things many times before. she didnt have to bait him that much. either way now that its out he will eventually have to sell whether by force or by necessity because the business will begin to suffer. what free agent is going to sign with them now? fans will eventually stop going to the games? corporate sponsors will also begin to distance themselves. as a business man he should be smart enought to know that it will cost him money to stay and he is, besides his shortcomings, a smart business man.

  He has a very long history of comments against minorities. He has also been sued for discrimination. How did this guy ever get a first NAACP award and was going to get another NAACP award in May for lifetime achievement. The NAACP must be a joke in California.
• like_that

  

  It's already been known that he is a racist POS prior to this tape recording.
  
  This would be the same as rapistberger sexually assaulting another women. I already thought he was a scumbag POS, his actions would do nothing but confirm it even more.
  
  The girl is a **** as well though.

  I agree with all you said and rottenburger is a pig also and I am a Steeler fan.

  Also, in case I ever own a professional sports franchise, I want to let it be known that I have no problem with any ethnicities attending sporting events.
• steubbigred

  The man is an NBA owner and talks like he does. It gives other morons like Spike Lee validation when Lee says pro athletes are high priced slaves. Somehow this man should be forced out of the NBA. Also the high priced tramp who illegally taped the conversation should be jailed and, have to give all the money she swindled to homeless shelters in LA. I wonder what the "Rich kids of Beverly hills" thinks of all this?

  Mike and Mike in the morning sure do. That's all they have talked about.

  That's because Mike and Mike only talk about stupid shit. (Jets, Notre Dame, etc)

  Or it'll die in a week or two and nothing will change. Because...basketball and money.

  And just like every single person in the world has had multi-million settlements against him for discriminatory renting practices?
  
  It's pretty obvious his girlfriend was baiting him (or at least taking advantage of his disposition to get him on tape being like he was), but the dude's had racist allegations surrounding him off and on for a long time that don't take long to research. Acting like he's just like anyone else as far as saying shit goes is definitely a bit off.

  Uh yeah, this isn't going to die in a week.
• mcburg93

  

  I care less, Pro basketball has been shit for years. Hope this helps.
• Devils Advocate

  

  It's 5% his fault.
• TedSheckler

  

  Everyone calling for actions against him should release tapes of their private conversations immediately. I'm sure none of them have ever said anything offensive.

  It will die though. Business as usual.

  It will die when he is forced to sell the team.

  I don't think he's a racist and the girlfriend was just baiting comments from him. The black community response to this is exactly why I don't give a flying fuck about racism in this country; boo hoo! he doesn't like our people let's make a big fuss about it. Grow up. The guy has a black coach, hires many black players, has a black GM, but he makes sound comments about his gf in private hanging out with black gangsters and all of a sudden he needs to be banned from the NBA and fined millions of dollars.

  If it wasn't for owners like Sterling both of these guys would be on the streets living off the government.
