He shouldn't be forced out by the league. If players and fans don't want him to own a team then players shouldn't sign there, should refuse to play there. Coaches should refuse to go there and fans should stop showing up. The league should leave it up to them to force him out. The league should however ban him from attending games.

I agree with this post except for the last part. Why would the league ban him from attending his own games? Seems stupid.

In regards to the first point, interesting how outraged these players are about the situation but still show up to the game to collect their paycheck. Money > Racism apparently.

Usually I dismiss old fucker who talk like this as that was their generation.

But this hump is contingent on those he hates to get him a winning basketball team.

What an asshat.

And he shouldn't be banned from games for being a racist anyway. He has every right to be one, and then they'd have to ban a lot more people anyhow.

Sterling is going to make bank when he has to sell the team.

Magic and the Guggenheim guys will pay some big time cash to buy that team like they did the Dodgers.

I think it's wrong for the league to punish him. He'll get punishment enough by people not renewing season tickets, players criticizing him, etc.

Still, a bonehead thing to say.

^^Majic Johnson and Kemp both have college degrees if I'm not mistaken. I doubt they would be hanging out on the corner. That's another stereotype that Mr Sterling has.

Never? You don't get at all nervous when you are walking down a dark alley and a black man is walking behind you?

im sure many people on here say things including myself but the point is if you do get outed in the public many on here would/could lose their job as well. im quite sure thats why some are so protective of their internet persona and not letting anyone know their real name so they can say all sorts of ignorant things. i agree thats a crappy way to get busted but the fact is you cant put this horse back in the barn. he did get caught...the league probably wont ban him, but the clock is ticking his time is up as an owner from a business perspective. its just bad for business.

That might be called instinct. Especially if you have been jumped by multiple black guys at once. That doesn't make you a racist.

Agreed but if you say that in public the race baiters will call you a racist. When will black people grow up?

I want to know how this man got an NAACP lifetime award and was going to get a second. Oh wait I know the answer it's called a payoff. This man doesn't even fit the mold of southern cracker klansman . He is of Jewish decent. The LA chapter of the NAACP needs investigated for corruption. They should be ashamed .

I get you . I have black friends . I have been jumped just for being white,but I try to be real as possible. Sometimes some people will just not listen and try to over talk you or get louder. In that case you just don't even continue the argument. I do not like white guilt. Be real, be yourself. If your a bigot then stand by it. Don't just be a bigot when nobody else is around and then act sympathetically about something that a black person has endured . Be genuine. Only if you are a black person can you know what it is like to be disrespected by the racism that they live with.

big difference between being scared of blacks and thinking that you are inherently better because you are white and they are black

You don't think white people are subject to any form of discrimination based on their skin color? It's impossible to tell the level of 'racism' experienced by any party but I can tell you that I've experienced discrimination for being white multiple times in my life. Instead of crying about it to the media, I simply go out and prove them wrong. Why can't black people do this instead of crying and blaming others? Stereotypes exist for a reason; when are blacks going to change that?
