Donald Sterling banned from NBA Games for life
So that refutes my statement how?

Not that I really care, I just hate the double standards people (like you) have with racism. Quote: “So I threw a soda at her,” he says. “I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at the time. Basically, I was against all white people.” Quote: He says his mother convinced him he could not go through life consumed by racial hatred. I personally don't have any beef with Jordan, as I too believe people can change. However, "past tense" stances have gotten people in trouble on many occasions. There is a double standard, but the particular case KN picked wasn't the best example. I don't remember a person getting in trouble for explaining a past experience they learned from, but maybe someone can give me an example. As to the Paula Deen thing I thought that seemed rather petty but I never really followed it. I looked up just now and read the court transcript that started it all. Probably the stupidest testimony I've read in awhile. http://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2013/06/entertainment/deen-deposition/index.html Lakshmi.Buukki said: » Quote: "I don't know. An 80-year-old man is kind of foolish, and I'm kind of foolish. I thought she liked me and really cared for me," he said. "I guess being 51 years older than her, I was deluding myself. ... I just wish I could ask her why, and if she was just setting me up." There was another article where, I think it was his current wife, blamed it on his dementia or something like that. And now the plot thickens. Who says that irony is dead?
Quote: V. Stiviano, the woman at the center of the scandal surrounding L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling — who was banned from the NBA after he was caught on tape making racist comments to Stiviano — has now herself been captured making derogatory comments about black people, TMZ reports. On the video, posted to TMZ, Stiviano comments,”I don't understand black people. You give them a little bit of money, they don't know what to do with it.” She goes on to opine that black people “just act crazy … they're like, ‘Yo, I wanna put extra rims on top of my rims. And my rims are gonna turn around. I'm gonna call them spinners.'” Sterling's head is probably spinning a bit right now. According to TMZ, the footage is from 2011, when Stiviano was filming a reality show pilot about gold diggers. That doesn't come off as derogatory to me, but then again I'm whitey.
If I had to contextualize it for myself, I can't say I'd be pissed if some girl said "White boy be crazy, he's like 'Splendid, splendid, this new GTX770 only set me back $500 and now I can game at 240FPS!, I'll call it 1337!'"

It puts their relationship in a better context. They were 'racist' together. Yet the rich white guy takes all the public heat since his comment was taken out of context. Now we know he said what he said because he was trying to impress or go along with his gold digging girlfriend at the time. Double standards and all that.
Oh boy! I can't wait for another TMZ revelation to dominate the news cycle.

Is there anything that needed to be said that wasn't said by the age gap and the dead-inside-thousand-yard-stare of that dumb ***? What more can you frame?

I would like to meet this dead inside ***...she might be just my type. You know, I think this is the best and most accurate reporting in the history of media:
Donald Sterling agrees to sell the LA Clippers and will dismiss the lawsuit against the NBA quote, in it's entirety said: LOS ANGELES (AP) Attorney: Donald Sterling agrees to sell Clippers; will dismiss lawsuit against NBA. Top notch reporting there guys! If there were more articles and stories like this, why, it may give the media a better name! It really shows your devotion to reporting.

Haven't you heard? Articles that have more text in the title than in the actual article are the new big thing. On an unrelated note, I've just applied for a job as a writer for Fox Sports. Apparently experience is not a requirement.

The next John Madden?
I think that article was really written by Gregg Popvitch.
John Madden was a broadcaster.
These guys are just too lazy to write a complete sentence.

[53 days between previous and next post]Judge rules against Donald Sterling
Key part is the sale will be allowed to proceed regardless of appeal status. So, its pretty much over, not that he will give it up or anything.
