Amazing that the “moral outrage” is about racism and not adultery.

Oh well. He is a billionaire. A member of the 1%. He can handle it.

Has anyone been curious enough to ask about the ethics of recording someone without their knowledge? Or does the asinine industry that calls it self journalism in America not care, since they can play the race card for the next couple of days?

Everybody jumped on this and publicized it way too fast. Was it a violation of Sterling's rights when he was taped, and does it put the media in a tough legal position for airing those tapes?

I'm not saying he's a good guy. I really don't care if he is or he isn't. I am saying that those who don't acknowledge the right to freedom of speech, and now even in ones own home, are way out of line, and have been for quite awhile.

FunFAN has hit the nail on the head, and needs to be given a MICROPHONE and tell the world. ALL of us have said things in private to our spouses, even blacks I´m sure have said things about Latinos. Wow. He made the point in the tape that it was the CULTURE of the black people he didn´t like. If the culture is that their culture approves 85% of it´s chidren to be born outside of a marriage contract and not have any connection with a father....YEAH, I don´t like that culture. If you ask me about the HIPSTA music and the music I hear on Black Television, it´s all about SEX, violence against cops, and YEAH, I dislike that culture as well. If it is about looking for the free stuff the gov´t gives away, I don´t like that as well in a culture. So don´t HANG the guy for saying what he thinks brings prosperity to a country. I am sorry he got caught... Served him well playing around with a sex toy.

Nope, Democrat Donald Sterling’s heart is with the Democrat Party, he’s the face of the Democrat Party, and his Republican registration was a Democrat Dirty Trick. Democrat Donald Sterling was not only a Leftist Democrat, but a Progressive who gave to Leftist causes.

I don’t care a wit for pro basketball, but the wife wanted to watch it so I sat along. It seemed to me that the Clippers threw the game.

No revenue = no salaries.

No salaries = no players. No players = no games. No games = no revenues.

Someone on another thread mentioned he insisted that his calls be recorded. No whether it was legal for her to give it to the media is another matter.

If I were this guy and was forced to sell my business, for simply being a Class-A jerk, I’d probably go about doing whatever I could to leave the franchise unviable. Let them run an expensive stadium with a team permanently, for a few years anyway, hobbled.

I rarely watch the evening news but tonight I did. They had the usual suspects talking about Sterling and how the team should be taken from him blah blah blah.

The next story was on how the new cars now have technology in them that can listen to everything you say and are doing so.
