I think the best idea for the Clippers to do is have CP3 or Blake call up their Adidas connection and get some new uniforms manufactured for the game today. Rebrand themselves as the Rivers' or the Doc's or something like that, and make a statement that they're playing for themselves as a group and not for their owner.

1. Call the worst press conference of all time. (Why a press conference was needed to say nothing nobody knows)
2. Let outrage die down a bit.
3. Give Sterling a slap on the wrist.

Sick game plan Silver

The funny part is this guy is prolly somewhat liberal for his demographic of 70+ given he has the blacktino gf. Plus, prolly a decent amount of other owners feel somewhat similar to him regarding race assuming they are older white males. So the difference with him is just that someone recorded his thoughts.

yep.

they might try to see if he'll play along and sell the team and go away (if they feel like the circumstances warrant something extreme like that), but i imagine they aren't super keen on trying to force him out. i mean they don't want anyone trying to tell them what to do, so...

Bad press can easily lead to loss of revenue which is what all owners care about.

OJ comparison is good. Seems like this is going to have to play out a bunch before anything real happens. Hiwever, his scorched earth philosophy in doing business is sure to make it very difficult on the other owners.

Trying to force Sterling out all but guarantees this story keeps on going. Best play is to privately urge an apology and just let the story die.

It just seems like a plantation atmosphere with Sterling. He doesn't hate black people...he just thinks they're there to work for him & perform for him & for him to admire their physiques, etc, but they ought to know their place & realize they're beneath him & not for publically associating with.

Weird mentality. Hope they find a way to remove him regardless.

This is the part that confuses me. The picture he was referring to was with MAGIC JOHNSON. A guy who is

A: World famous
B: Universally beloved
C: A famous basketball figure from your city
D: Worth ~hundreds of millions of dollars

THAT is the 'black people' he was embarrassed that she was posting pictures with on Instagram. Not some 'gangstas' or 'hood rats' or any other stereotype. Sterling didn't want her being seen with MAGIC JOHNSON.

Is he not aware of who Magic even is? Is this a senility thing? Or does he sincerely not want famous and beloved mega-millionaires at his game if they're black? Everyone loves Magic! Even most racists in LA are probably cool with Magic!

I'm angry but also just confused at the whole thing now.

1. black
2. AIDS
3. Lakers
4. successful businessman
5. well liked
6. other?

yeah, but there's a difference between hating him because he's a Laker and telling his mistress not to post pictures with black guys like Magic because it's embarrassing to be associated with black people.

I'm thinking he probably didn't even realize that it was magic johnson she was hanging out with because he's senile. Just thought it was some giant black guy and got his racist jimmies rustled up because his mistress was hanging out with a huge black guy.

Sterling seemed more worried about her being seen in public with minorities more than anything else. He also talked about people calling him and talking to him about her taking a picuture with Magic. Who is calling him to complain about his gf taking a picture with Magic? His racist friends? Also, the use of the word "enemy" is disgusting.

Female: People call you and tell you that I have black people on my Instagram and it bothers you.
Male: Yeah, it bothers me a lot that you want to promo ...broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?
Female: You associate with black people.
Male: I'm not you and you're not me. You're supposed to be a delicate white or a delicate Latina girl.
Female: I’m a mixed girl. And you're in love with me. And I'm black and Mexican, whether you like it or not...You want me to have hate towards black people?
Male: I don't want you to have hate... I want you to love them --privately. In your whole life you can be with them, every single day of your life.
Female: But not in public?
Male: But why publicize it on the Instagram and why bring it to my games?
Female: Why bring the black people to the games. I ...
Male: Don't put [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games.

DS: A hundred percent, fifty, a hundred percent.

V: And is that right?

DS: It isn't a question—we don't evaluate what's right and wrong, we live in a society. We live in a culture. We have to live within that culture.

V: But shouldn't we take a stand for what's wrong? And be the change and the difference?

DS: I don't want to change the culture, because I can't. It's too big and too [unknown].

V: But you can change yourself.

DS: I don't want to change. If my girl can't do what I want, I don't want the girl. I'll find a girl that will do what I want! Believe me. I thought you were that girl—because I tried to do what you want. But you're not that girl.

The main reason everyone is on board this go around is social media is 1000x more relevant and moves at light speed now. Plus audio/visual via TMZ is far more impactful to the general public versus some court transcripts.

Sterling knows how to treat his mistress, gotta give him that.

Quote:

The Clippers team owner and a woman identified as V. Stiviano allegedly began an affair after meeting at the 2010 Super Bowl game and were still in the relationship as of the filing date, according to the lawsuit filed by Rochelle H. Sterling, who is described in the suit as "a married woman seeking to protect and recover community property in her individual capacity."

Rochelle Sterling alleges that her husband used community property to buy Stiviano a 2012 Ferrari, two Bentleys and a 2013 Range Rover, worth a total of more than $500,0000.

Sterling also allegedly gave Stiviano $1.8 million to buy a duplex on West 4th Street near the Beverly Center last December, according to the suit, which claims that Sterling additionally provided her with $240,000 for upkeep and living expenses.
