    An audio recording purportedly of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist remarks to his girlfriend is being investigated by the NBA.

    In the recording, the man believed to be Sterling questions his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, about her association with minorities. TMZ reports that Stiviano, who is black and Mexican, posted a picture of her with Magic Johnson on Instagram, a photo that has since been removed.

    "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" the man believed to be Sterling says. He continues, "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games."

    I was stunned when I first heard his comments. How can someone who is surrounded by minorities and dating one be so racist? What a despicable man.

    I'd expect to see (hope to see, really) a mass exodus of current players from the Clippers this offseason, and them having problems getting guys to come in as well, for as long as Sterling remains the owner. I mean, money talks to a degree, but I'd hope that these guys have enough pride and self-respect to refuse to be employed by someone who hates them that much.

    I don't believe he deserves punishment from the league, though - however awful his views may be, he's allowed to have them and it's not the leagues place to punish him for them. Let the entire team forcing trades and/or refusing to play be his punishment...

    That was my thought too. He's dating a biracial woman, yet hates black people, yet lets his woman have s*x with them?

    This should not come as a surprise to anyone.

    Donald Sterling has been put in the spotlight as a racist in the past.

    I don't know this is what I do know of this bigot

    1.You guys remember Kim Hughes? The ex-coach, former assistant coach at the time. The guy needed surgery FOR CANCER. Sterling refused to cover the charges leaving the players to support the bill.
    2. He was fined because he told his team to tank! not sure which year but he was fined
    3. Early on when he bought the team, he forced a player who had surgery on the same day to PLAY a game. Look it up. Michael Brooks (they were still in SD)
    4. He once asked his coach Silas to be the team trainer because he didn't want to pay a trainer! SERIOUSLY?


    He is just a disgrace, to the sport, to the fans, to the player, to the coaches and to the other respectable owners. HE NEEDS to gO

    There's things you get when you're a rich pimp daddy like Sterling:

    1. Young hot GF's
    2. Epic BS for everything you say and do..

    And there's a couple things you get graces for when you are 80 plus years old.

    1. you can tell your hot young GF not to show her ass in public with other guys (she obviously likes to hang with the bro's)
    2. you can be mad and pissed off at the world, because your time on earth is near completion

    Who the F cares, let the guy live his damn life, freedom of speech too - what a waste of time..it better not bleed over into the NFL draft and take over sports center - no distractions please.


    REALLY HAPPY TO BE AT WORK TODAY.. YAWN
