Sponsors are bailing, he's causing negative PR for the NBA, making them look bad, etc.

The NBA is a business.

as they should..

doesnt change the fact everyone of us is just as stupid as he is yet we're going to chime in. You don't see it b/c you think some how what he said is worse than what you've said about someone or something else.

The "everyone does it" assumption says far more about you than many of us. You're flat wrong, but thanks for your admission that you're a bigot.

No I don't act like it. I act like I ain't any better than him and no one else is either.

I'm arguing that everyone is jumping homeboys shit bc he's discriminating blacks bc that's taboo in this country. Everyone of us has discriminated something or someone in our lives and just because it's acceptable or more acceptable socially doesn't make it better or worse.

No it doesn't make it better or worse. But at the end of the day, he's an owner of a team valued at a billion dollars. What he says is put under the microscope. What we say doesn't matter cause people don't care what we say.

I understand all this. I'm merely keeping the high horse posse in reality check here. You ain't any better than him so get off your horses.

Fair enough. I think for the most part people aren't saying we are better than him. More or less just discussing it cause its an interesting topic

I would be shocked if most (as you claim) people have ever said some of the things he said, without it being in a joking (ie, making fun of a stereotype) manner.

Of course we have all said dumb shit in private, but I have never said anything like he has. Never something that would get me fired from a job.

I make fun of Asian women driving, blacks eating fried chicken, etc. Ive never gone on a rampage about not wanting to be in the presence of someone or be associated with them or said they are where they are because I provided for them. I mean, thats just straight ignorant and racist. I would be willing to bet the majority of us are NOT that way.

If you've ever discriminated anything you're just as bad as him. And if you say you haven't, you're a liar.

Please explain to me how discriminating by disagreeing with a Catholics viewpoint is the same as discriminating because said catholic is black.

I wonder who the good old boys were Sterling was upset would see his "gf" associating with black men? He made the point he did not personally care if she was banging them. Just don't be seen in public with them.
