Redick: Donald Sterling ‘Didn’t Want To Pay Me Because I Was White’

Los Angeles Clippers guard J.J. Redick says that owner Donald Sterling was hesitant to sign him last summer because he’s white.

Speaking to USA Today, Redick went into detail about how his four-year, $27 million sign-and-trade deal almost fell apart despite being initially agreed upon.

“I’ve been told both ways: one, that he didn’t want to pay me because I was white, and that he didn’t want to pay me because I was a bench player,” Redick, the former Duke University star told USA Today. “I didn’t know until after the face. I just got a weird phone call from Doc (Rivers) on July 4, and I got off the phone and said to my wife, ‘Something’s going on.’ He’s like, ‘You better play for me (expletive).’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s the plan. We figured this out two days ago, right?’(continued)

He sure took his time saying this, which is understandable, though he’ll probably get threats from the tolerant leftists.

While that may be true; it would have been just fine if he ****ed Sterling’s girlfriend.

For those who don’t know JJ Redick, here’s a news tidbit from last year:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2375411/J-J-Redicks-abortion-contract-girlfriend-revealed-promised-dating-year-ended-pregnancy-hed-pay-25k.html

NBA player’s ‘abortion contract’ with girlfriend revealed he promised to keep dating her for a year if she ended pregnancy or he’d pay her $25k

EXCERPT:

* The deal was allegedly signed in 2007 by Clippers star J.J. Redick and his model ex-girlfriend Vanessa Lopez after she claimed to be pregnant with his child

* The contract stipulates that Redick would ‘attempt’ to keep dating Lopez for a year after the termination of the pregnancy or pay her $25,000

* Lopez later had an affair with fellow NBA star Shaquille O’Neal and sued him for harassment in 2010 but the case was dismissed by the judge who called her a liar

Probably didn’t want to pay him because he’s a Dukie and all Dukies suck when they get to the NBA.

Mr. Sterling is an equal opportunity hater. . . he hates everybody but himself.

My experience is that rich folks don’t much help anybody but themselves . . . not that I begrudge what they have.

Just ticks me off that we have to hear this incessant crap for at least 6 months because he was too stupid and self-centered to keep his arrogant, racist trap shut. I get it, but I am really, really, really tired of hearing about it.

"In the days after, it was the first time in my life where I was conscientious of the fact that the people I was talking to were black or Asian or Mexican,” Redick told USA Today. “I don’t look at people like that, so to hear those things come out of someone’s mouth, it pisses you off.”

what a lying hypocrite Redick is... he made racial comments about his then girlfriend and the baby she was carrying before she had the abortion... he made the comments in an email...

Poor Elgin Baylor was oppressed too. For 22 years as GM of the Clippers he only made hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

The Redick contract story is old. It was reported in 2013. It was Sterling’s black head coach, “Doc” Rivers who demanded that Sterling sign Redick. Rivers threatened to resign as head coach if Sterling didn’t sign Redick.
