Listening to El Rushbo, a caller I'd think was a black male about 40 years old, came on with an allegation that the whole deal here was a setup to capture control of the team, the Clippers. Rushbo "probed" this caller for about twenty minutes on air, intellectually, trying to understand the allegation. The caller said it would be obvious who was behind the plot when the dust clears and the new owner is apparent. He refused to deny it was someone already involved in sports or the NBA, as El Rushbo tried to determine if it was a pure outsider trying to take a stake in the NBA, or someone from the "inside".
At the end of the hour, the news included an announcement that the NBA is preparing to make a statement on the matter. After the news cleared, El Rushbo came on and announced that Yahoo had just posted a news blip that Sterling had an exit strategy from ownership of the Clips: Sell the Clips to Magic Johnson.
My hell, someone with a flagrant involvement with the young woman who recorded Sterling's stupid comments.
Magic Johnson already owns the Dodgers in some kind of connection with the Guggenheims, and is interested in making the Clips the premier LA basketball franchise.
Looks to me like even being a democrat, a liberal, and paying all kinds of payola to the NAACP for being a superrich idiot who likes to flaunt the social and political correctness rules is not enough to hold your place in todays' society. Anybody with a better set of connections is going to exploit whatever can be exploited and force you out of whatever little cash cow you own, if they care to.
That's why I think all the hype about political correctness is adverse to actual personal liberty and personal rights. It's just another whip in the hands of whoever is more uppity-up than you are.
Folks, your "principles" and your outrage mean nothing. You are tools for the elites.
I'd think the above facts would be sufficient for ordinary people with independent opinions to just be outraged enough to boycott the Magic Clips as well.
