Looking for genuine discourse re: Donald Sterling/NBA

[framer]

So...The root cause of black mothers being unwed is unwed black mothers?

Yes. Of course this is true. What do you think happens to the children of unwed black mothers? This isn't a racial problem, its a cultural one. Race does not equal culture.

wow, I'm totally shocked that this thread has gone off the rails.

That's not true in the least. You should listen to the recording.

I have listened to it multiple times. "I don't want you bringing them to my games" was the main thing I got, and to me, that sounds like if I were black, I would be unwelcome at his games.

I was under the impression that Sterling was referring to the black males that his side piece was banging, and then bringing to games.

I could be wrong though.

So do White Supremicist groups speak on behalf of all white people?

Weak, just weak sauce. When the President and other politicians speak at the next Aryan Brotherhood conference, call me. The NRA doesn't speak for all gun owners, but they are pretty damn representative.

Also, Donald Sterling doesn't care. That's the issue. You can't force him to do anything. Does the NBA have the power to void the contracts of players signed to the Clippers? Do you think the NBA really wants a protracted fight with Sterling? I actually think they KNOW that the courts will strike them down. But at least they were on the side of being vociferous, like all the other good facebook warriors.

This is the correct interpretation. I'd be really interested in a serious forensic evaluation of that recording.

So what happens to Sterling when his players refuse to play for him? What happens when the coach walks out? What happens when other teams refuse to play against his team? All of these options are on the table, and could happen. I think Sterling would rather sell his team and cash out than have that happen, as he is a very shrewd business man.

nice article.

i kinda fully agree with jabar



reason why i have not listened to a single second of that audiotape or read any transcript

I'm a big fan of Kareem's writings - and not just on basketball. But give me a break. He wants to pretend he knew nothing about Donald Sterling being the person he is when he agreed to work for him? At that time Kareem wanted nothing more than to be a coach and if he didn't spend the first 40 years of his life alienating everyone within 1000 feet of him he would have had a much easier time of it. He should have just stayed out of this one.

Looks like Sterling will not go away willingly. States that the Clips are not for sell. If they try to force him I think it results ina legal battle.

Of course. He's taken The NBA to court before....and won.

Look for a long drawn out court battle with him dying while the case is still pending. His girlfriend will get her own reality show and we'll all just move on to something else.

From your link:

Along with that, commissioner Adam Silver said the league would attempt to force a sale of the Clippers to remove him entirely from the league.

However, prior to the announcement, via Fox News, Sterling said he has no interest in selling the team.

Check out the bolded part. I don't think anyone has heard anything from Sterling since the announcement.

How did you turn that into he doesn't want black people at his games?
