[AUDIO] Donald Sterling - "Don't bring black people to my games" [AGREES TO SELL TEAM]

[O.T.I.S.]

Yea... They're not tanking... Because 40pt 1st quarters are normal these days

 

[Detroit Wave]

Breh, I won't hold that neg rep against youAnd I don't want to diminish what you did, but it only affected two people, you and maybe your racist manager. What statement was made? Did you organize a boycott consisting of all employees at your job? Did you write letters to your HR department? Did you contact local media outlets? Does it frustrate you that someone that wasn't in your shoes (me) is judging your response to your unique situation? Personally, I think the Clippers players missed an opportunity to fully utilize that moment and make a statement, but I'm not going to sit here calling them c00ns and slaves and saying what they should've done. Internet nikkas are way too comfortable doing shyt like that.

nah i was part of a group of 5 employees who left

the manager was fired then his boss asked us to come back

none of us went back

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Jamal Crawford and the scrubs the only one who wants to play

 

[jwinfield]

So b/c no one voted him in people think the league has no responsibility for this shyt? Didn't Stern intervene in that trade with CP3 and pretty much make him go to the Clips?

I think his point is these aren't people he came up with, they have no loyalty to dude so don't expect the owners to ride with Sterling.

 

[str8up]

Even if they're throwing the game they may as well have just not played, just making themselves look worse.

 

[Walt]

I feel you. That takes time though. Way more than 48 hours.

Oh, Jesus, of course. It would be irresponsible to act immediately, even if they did exactly what I'd do. This is the ADD generation, cats expect instant results without recognizing any intricacies of the process whatsoever. Waiting until this coming week is fine with me. However, the teams who put muzzles on their players is something I'd like to see addressed directly and immediately. That shyt is absurd.

 

[really]

ive quit a job because of a racist manager.

Breh can I ask you a question? You know I been fukkin with you in this thread, so let me ask you this.... If Chris Paul held an interview / press conference today before the game and said:

"Me and my teammates are utterly DISGUSTED by the comments we've heard on tape, to the point that we are really at a lost for words. We are all basketball players that play this game we love, but we are men, most of us black men, first.


The comments made have hurt, distracted and angered us.


The comments were egregious to the point that, most of us feel we can no longer do our job properly, as even walking into the locker room is now an uncomfortable experience, for the black players as well as the white players on this team.


We sincerely feel, that someone who holds such hostility and anger towards who we are as a people, could even possibly act out those emotions in a physical way eventually... Since we have no way to measure the TRUE depths at which his animosity lies and the extent he'd go to to express and satisfy those personal beliefs.


We do understand that these comments were first discovered a little over 24 hours ago, so this is what we are willing to state at this time:


We do not want to disappoint our friends, fans and family, by acting too hastily and simply sitting out this game, though it was strongly considered and discussed at length, which was honestly another distraction, to our ability to have an equal opportunity to work and earn a living fairly.


While we will not be sitting out today's game, what we have concluded collectively is the following: if discomfort is not eliminated from our work environment to the extent of which we find decent, with discomfort, in this case, including, but not limited to, playing games for someone who apparently looks down on us and holds unjust hostility and anger for who we are as human beings, not as basketball players... But as a human beings... If our work environment is not made more comfortable and safe before our home game on Tuesday, April 29th... We do plan, as a team, as a Unit, to not dress up or take the court for that game, or any other game there after...


...As my self worth and safety as a human being, far supersedes even the love I have for the game of basketball...


I will not be taking questions at this time.


Thank You."



He he said THIS before the game, would you still be bytching about them suiting up? (no, you wouldn't) .... I just wanna hear it from you (and anyone else) though.... Don't worry, we're all in the same fight, you can be honest breh





My point of this statement, is nikkas are so upset about them PLAYING... When they should REALLY be upset about them not being vocal... Channel your rage brehs

Spoiler

Peep how I threw in little tidbits about fearing for safety.... #LawSuit.... They'd all own the team if they got punished for boycotting AFTER THAT statement........ #Guaranteed

I totally disagree with the view that Sterling can't be forced to do anything. Bullfukkingshyt. This is America, and history shows that when people in power care enough, they can and will blackball or remove whomever they decide to. Problem is, people in power couldn't care half a shyt about the concerns of black people, and view us as an easily placated nuisance.

It was unheard of for Stern to veto a trade until he... Just did it. Enough owners supported him, and there was concern about the financial health of the brand, concern about the brand period. And when people pointed out the unprecedented and ridiculous nature of the veto, Stern said "basketball reasons" and ignored the fukk out of the public and media backlash, and the owners who were victimized fell the fukk back and played their positions.

When something concerns black people, we always hear talk about a calm and measured approach, reiviewing of all facts and options, due process, technicalities and complications... nikka, please.

Reminds me of when Baldwin and a cohort of black leaders met with Bobby Kennedy about the Civil Rights Movement and racial progress, and Kennedy kept telling them to be patient. Baldwin was furious, and noted the absurdity of an Irish man who was already in a position of great power preaching patience to people who had been in the country for centuries longer than the Irish. Patience? For us always, for others, no. Of course something can be done. Something can always be done. But America does not respect nikkas enough to arrest men who kill unarmed black boys, or to stop profiling blacks for the crime of simply walking down the street or driving down the road and minding their own businesses, so who's shocked? Respect has to be demanded if it won't be given on reasonable terms. And that's why I wish the players would've sat out today's game.

goat poster.

 

[Monoblock]

No. CP3 is a Clipper because the Clippers made the best offer. CP3 basketball reasons happened because Stern acted as OWNER of the Hornets. All Stern did was block the trade to the Lakers.

I think his point is these aren't people he came up with, they have no loyalty to dude so don't expect the owners to ride with Sterling.

Understood.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Score 40 points in the first quarter, brehs

 

[TheNig]

When was the last time you seen Jermaine O'Neal easily get to the basket?

 

[Blessings]

Doc with the tech

 

[TRY GOD]

CLIPPERS NEED TO LET THEM WIN!


They Still are holding up their End of their contracts by Not boycotting, AND they Still get Paid. They still have a chance to Prove themselves

 

[tremonthustler1]

I think his point is these aren't people he came up with, they have no loyalty to dude so don't expect the owners to ride with Sterling.

Exactly. Sterling in 2014 wouldn't have been allowed to buy a team. He's been around since 81, even before Stern entered the picture.

 

[Joe_tu-pac]

This is what Chris Paul and Doc Rivers will be remembered for. This is why i'm almost sure Lebron would of sat out. He thinks about those things
